Has anybody ever had strong emotional feelings for a customer?  Just curious if this has ever happened to any of you.

Just not to me.

I have a few regulars that I care about, as they do me, but by feelings I don't get my feelings involved with a client. That is just me though. I am however a very caring person, and I make sure you are doing well, and I keep in contact with my regulars on a frequent basis.

very interesting question, milldog. Mine is related: when a woman objectifies the client (presumably to not get too involved -- or to just get through it ) that seems to have quite a different effect from when a woman allows some "liking" to show through. I realize there is a different emotional risk in the liaisons we speak of here, but if I sensed my atty or accountant didn't like me, no matter how good the service, I'd not return. I'd be interested in insights on this; maybe I'm hijacking your thread and this should be it's own. My apologies.

Isn't that hard sometimes not having feelings? Would you ever consider dating a client if he was single?  Just things I have wondered about.

I think you summed it up brilliantly.

It does happen the movie and stage play Erma Laduce (spelled badly) as well as Breakfast at Tiffany's is about just this. But remember you were never trying to keep him he was only a temporary thing but in time after a few repeats who knows

I really feel a closeness to a certain lady and I'd like to think we're friends.

But I'm not deluding myself.

I'm in the midst of a total Stage 5 Clinger right now. So kind of a reverse situation that we're talking about here. Texting me over and over (I never respond), and today she actually called me to "check in on me"...  BIG no-no. What if my SO answered? Its starting to creep me out.

Yeah, seriously. The texting I can deal with, but the phone call to "check in on me"???

Does this mean that Badcollegegirl is your stalker?

My boyfriend used to be a client of mine.....  After having 3 sessions with him, I totally swooped him off the 'hobby' market...

Sometimes it can be rather hard to explain to a potential boyfriend about my work.

Hmmm good question. I have a regular that I see quite a bit and has even approached me on the subject, just not sure how I feel about it. You hear all these stories about how it didn't work out, and so on so I am not sure I would go down that road. Plus I am not sure I am relationship material, and whoever I decide to be with would have to be okay with what I do. I know guys say they are, and even hobbyists, but when it comes down to really being with someone, they really aren't okay with it.

Hahahaha. If I were Kinot's stalker, it'd be all like:

but feelings of love as in a friendship way, yes. I had a one client who was a regular and then he went through a divorce, lost his job, money, and had other problems as well that we became close friends. I helped him out best I could and to this day 5 years later we are close like family. We will never have a client/provider relationship ever again. I cannot even look at him in that way.

I have never fallen in love with a client because most of them are married, and I feel it is not the best way to find a potential mate. I am here for fun and pleasure and to support myself!!

I never have.  I keep my hobby and personal live VERY seperate.  That's just a line I will never cross.

Maybe not quite the same but found a favorite that clicked with me.
She seemed really nice as well as talented so I offered dinner and incall. I never expect it to be anything more than some fun outside the incall and nice conversation, and knowing what the end of the evening will be. Always leave the envelope and don't try to take advantage of the situation. She seems to enjoy the evening as well and we have done it several times when I can get away for that much time.
