I'm not trying to take Trinity's coaching away from her but if you don't honestly talk about the situation you will not last. She will turn a trick in a heartbeat and it you can't deal with that walk away.
Been seeing my ATF for few months now after we agreed on prepaid arrangement. Lately there's been more feelings then what's between my legs. When we do it now, its more like bf/gf. I would really like to hear from someone either provider or John if they've fallen and if it worked out or not
EOM
Joe, is that where you met Mrs. Friday?
There HAVE been a "few" successful marriages over the years.
EOM
I met two ladies who were "swept" off of their feet and gotten hitched, moved away, reviews, and sites were taken down. Nope, they have NOT been back here, so I can only guess they are living happily ever after.
(yes they met their husbands while on the job.
... still seeing other Johns for pay?
I didn't want to ask, but between me and college, I'm pretty sure she doesn't have any other times. But you never know.

Dear Talon,
It is complicated.
Can a woman really love a man when she knows he is a skanky John?
The short is answer is no, which not coincidentally rhymes with your "ho."
Is there a difference between a john and a "skanky" john? Or between a provider and a...you fill in the blank Pimp. Value judgements make me laugh on this discussion board. Holier than thou = MN nice. 
can but you keep telling us its all about the money
Of course take precautions so you don't get your heart shattered. Hope it works out for you
But if you are a betting man, and Talon I believe you are, the odds are she will never feel the same way. Your relations with your ATF have and will be fun for a length of time and it will (again odds speaking here) eventually end. Enjoy while you can and don't take it personally if/when it's all over one day.
If you love, it doesn't matter. Porn stars have husbands. Some providers have SO's. Why not? If you view love as exclusive possession and control of her vagina, then you might have some issues.
Personally, I believe it is possible but rare. But why you would take such a possibility seriously given your oft-stated rejection of any possibility of an escort viewing her clients as other than sources of money?
I've seen her ~ 3 months now, average 2~3 times a week and it feels like we make love, not just pay, fuck and leave. I don't pay per visit like I normally would, I give her all $$$ up front at the beginning of the month
yes you can ,, my "daughter mother" was the top girl at an old school massage parlor back in the day its a mental thing , if your the 1 woman kind of man NO. to her its a job,
my x would tell me there are a 132 holes in the ceiling tile
but not very often, I guess, and it has nothing to do with knowing she's a ho and you're an assho.
Prerequisites are two very secure egos and absolute loyalty, which doesn't necessarily have to do with monogamy. Just being in love is not enough.
before it is considered successful?
To say it eventually will end could be said about a great number of marriages between people that have nothing to do with the hobby!
It is TOTALLY dependent on the two people involved and what they want out of a relationship and what kind of boundaries they have. If everything is a hard line boundary most relations will not last as compromise is not a part of it.
Every lasting relationship will be comprised of a great many compromises and a certain amount of forgiveness.
There is money and bills, children, jobs, friends hobbies(separate interests) that all have a great impact on how long a relationship will last!
How much do you know about this person that does not have to do with the P4P aspect? Do you know the family, children, friends? All those things could be just as damning as the personal relations you two share!
