Really?

If I just wanted to hang out and talk I can do that at a local gym or at work when it's slow for free.  I guess it's true then.  Some providers have told me about this "just hanging out" phenomenon though it is hard for me to understand.  Heck if I could get $300 or $400 an hour just for talking to someone, I would have to seriously consider cross dressing and putting an ad up.  I would just have to figure out how to know which guys would keep things in their pants and stick with them.  

...understand your question.   If there is no sex it's not a "hobby date".  

Paying for not having sex is called marriage, isn't it?  

Her ad was great, her reviews were good, she had the body I liked..so WTF went wrong??? We met at the bar at my hotel and the minute I saw her I hated the way she dressed and the was her hair was made up. And on our way to my room, she wanted to take pictures of us, like it was a prom date. It was overly corny. She stopped people to take the pictures of us. Then in the room I had candles lit and a room with a view, again she wanted to take pictures. OMG! At that time I mentally checked out. We then tried to get intimate but she kissed like shit, she sucked my whole face...that was it and I just drank champagne while she did a expensive lap dance for me.

Only 1 - my first time on a "date".

I was jet lagged and nervous as hell so we just talked and she gave me a massage and I think a lap dance or two and that was it. Paid her the full amount because it was on me to decide not to go thru with it. But that was the only time and I cut myself a lot of slack on it, all things considered.

I'll bet there are lots of first timers that are so nervous that they never even make it to meet the girl. Between the paranoia and mind fucking that occurs on a first session it's understandable. But I don't understand the "mesmerised & smitten" thing. That's a bit odd.

My first one ever. He would hire me to get dressed up like Marie Antoinette with garters and stockings while he talked. He came to me for about 3 months and he never wanted anything more than a massage.

Several.

Some are here for straight suck & fuck, but others love quality companionship.  Adult conversation is arousing.   You can release without having sex.  Stress relief is a must, but there are other fun ways to get you there that maybe you have never been open to trying.  You just need a new cheerleader.  lol Smile 4 me!

I wouldn't let that happen. If it seemed like someone was too shy to start things up, I'd start..

thinks up for us.  After about 10 minutes of conversation I'd say, "We can keep talking for as long as you want to, but the clock is ticking", and then I'd put some moves on the guy.  If he didn't respond, I guess we could keep talking, but I'd try again every 5 or 10 minutes to take things to the next level.

A guy paid me for a four hour date and all we did was cuddle and watch movies

I felt really sick the morning of my appointment and it was an early morning appointment so I can either do a NCNS or a last minute cancellation. I didn't want to do either because I would like to see her in future so I went to the appointment and explained my situation and pay the full session. Her reaction told me that's really unusual thing to do, but I probably will do the same if it happens again.

Are really funny...

I guess the bigger question is - How often do you cats get laid IRL (without an exchange of $$)?

For me it's 3-4 times a week - It's just the connection that I've lost along the way and that connection isn't solely predicated on fucking...

Pfffttttt.... (French Flat Tire)

That just wanted to talk and cuddle.  

My ultimate goal is to make the gentlemen feel comfortable.

Hobby dates without sex?  What is that?  Sorry, don't understand the question.
