What you are describing is exactly how I have approached my encounters with providers. And it has totally blown up in my face with 3 of 4 providers I have seen in San Diego.
My approach and comfort zone is to treat women with respect, kindness, and generosity. I have expressed my desire to have a passionate experience where we like each other, enjoy each other's company, and can get into a state where we can get lost in the moment. And be able to talk to each other as people.
And I have 3 women whom I have seen multiple times who will no longer talk to me. With such odds, readers will naturally think that there must be something very wrong with me or with what I am doing. That thought burns in my head, and I spend a lot of time in self examination over it, believe me.
I won't go into a bunch of details, but the worst thing I have done with any of them is to mis-interpret one of them who called me darling and lover and said she missed me when I hadn't seen her in a couple of months as possibly opening a door to possibly interacting outside of the client relationship model, and going to dinner OTC, followed by a paid session. That misunderstanding (the dinner never happened, it was just discussed) resulted in her apparently being insulted and thinking I was a waste of time, so she no longer responds to emails or texts. There is a little more background to that story, but the point I raise is the only thing I can figure caused her to get so torqued at me. I even conceded I made a mistake and apologized, to no avail, and left it at that.
In return for my generous donations and respectful treatment, I have been subjected to disdain, ingratitude, and worst of all, blackmail. As a result of the blackmail, I dumped my previous identity, my P411 and DateCheck accounts with their positive references and OKS.
It has been very confusing to me. I see evidence that there are kindred spirits from postings like yours on TER. But my personal experience negates this. Maybe I have been extraordinarily snake bit. But I am chastened and gun shy about seeking pleasures that entail sentient behavior by both parties.
I have taken to finding sensual experience with beautiful women in Mexico. My Spanish is very limited, and the women I am seeing don't speak English. So we don't get into advanced discussions and just relate on a physical level. But it is sensuous, I feel welcome and desirable, and my generosity always returns genuine gratitude. I find that to be very rewarding.
For now, it fills a void, and though I still like the thought of connecting with someone to have the more cerebral connection to accentuate the physical, I have to recover from my war wounds before I will be ready to try the waters on home turf again.
