I don't know if its my winning personality or just the nature of the biz.  I was just wondering how does everyone else feel about clients and providers dating? I seem to get propositioned by this often.

In some ways I can see where it may be possible and then I can see where one party may get hurt if there are unreasonable expectations.  I have even had a provider friend date a gent only to find out that he was going around telling people he was seeing her for no donation.

What's the general consensus on this?

I don't think there is no right or wrong.
If it works for the two people involve
that is all that matters.
But some men may see it as a challenge as seems
to be the experience by your friend.

I guess it is as they say, complicated.

Love and fortune befriends the bold.

I say have fun.  If it's mutual attraction then why not?  Like everything else in this hobby, if it's all about two consenting adults.

Of course you would have to be creative when answering:

"You're date is cute, how'd you meet?"
"So where does she work?"
"Honey, how was your day at work?  Meet anyone interesting?"

I haven't done it, though I became really good friends with a lady, and she'd get up with me just to talk. Had I been truly single at the time, more would have come of it.

Yes, I totally agree.  I guess the two parties would have to make up a cover story when going out to social engagements or meeting family/friends.  I guess it would be extremely interesting to say the least............

I have tried it.  It does not work. It is not about right or wrong it is about getting the feelings in your crotch mixed up with the feelings in your head, mixed up with the feelings in your heart.

It just does not work. Most Men are to territorial for this to work.
