This question is for the providers, although hobbyists feel free to chime in with your own experience.
If a hobbyist gets a crush on you, are you flattered, annoyed, or both? I would assume a crush means he gives you lots of complements and becomes a regular (which I am assuming is good). But, he probably also emails you a lot, telling you how much he likes/loves you, wondering if you are dating anyone or would ever date someone like him, or even if you want to get married? Has anyone had to deal with the crush before? What are your feelings about it? Does it breach the etiquette of good hobbying?!?I love when a client is crushing over me... both parties just need to make sure they don't cross a line that ends the friendship.
I think it's pretty natural to crush on or obsess over anyone you spend a lot of time with, erotic or just as friends/co-workers. I often find myself crushing over some of the ladies & gents I encounter after a steamy encounter!
Just my two cents....

It is always flattering when someone falls for you. Period. And if there is not mutual chemistry, I doubt the crush would develope in the first place. But there are some situations where I have to call it quits for the good of both parties.
Where it has got tricky for me in the past is when I needed to make a moral decision over a selfish decision and end the sexual portion of the friendship when I felt I was no longer enriching his life and in fact doing quite the opposite. When he began booking frequent over-nights I was thrilled and flattered. Some of the best dates in my life were with this guy. But when he asked me to set up a paypal account so he could start seeing me on credit, it was time to draw the line. He felt like if he could hang in there a little longer, that magic moment would click for me and I would want to start dating him for real, off the clock. I had to be honest and tell him I did not feel that way for him and while I still meet him for dinner as friends sometimes, I will not book him anymore.
At the end of the day, this is supposed to be fun. I am not looking to ruin anyone's home life, marriage, or wipe out their bank account and leave them out in the cold once I have sucked them dry.
Bad situation #2 happens far more ... a great client becomes a jealous client. Asks you about your weekend and then pouts because you were screwing your brains out and the sex was good! HELLO! That is what we do! And if the sex was bad more often than good, he never would have met me because I wouldn't be doing this!!!
And if it is hurtful for a guy I have formed a true friendship with, I would rather not keep seeing him than continue to hurt him. Again ... this is supposed to be FUN!
So yes, let feelings develop. Makes for better sex and hot chemistry! But remember what we are all doing here. Sharing the best part of dating ... the fun, the sex, the making out like high school kids ... without the drama of who did or didn't call when they said they would, blah blah blah ...

PS. And if You read this, know I would never say your name or handle and love and value your friendship enough to stick to this decision. Starbucks and Sushi forever. ![]()

How some guys fall for a provider this way. Now I have my share of ATF's that have rocked my world (Misha & Miss Eva Red) but in now way did I ever develop feelings or anything like that. Matter of fact me and Misha partied some times, Vegas for a few days, etc and had fun, always on my dime but never did I ever think she was anything more. Guys like Mr. I made a horrible mistake are weak, plain and simple. I had a provider once ask me to help her move.....say what? lol I politely declined.
On the other side I met a lady once on Craigslist years ago, you know pay for play type of ad. Met her and things got really weird right off the bat. Since we wasn't a pro I guess she didn't know any better. She kept telling me wanted more and what not. So I told her that I was paying for her to see me for a reason and she went as far as declining my gift. We went out for almost 9 months but eventually went our separate ways. It bothered me how we met and I got tired of lying to people about how we met. She on the other hand never cared, or wanted to know. I meant she had to know that She couldn't have been the only girl I have seen for pay
... criticize your professional detachment than force me desire for connection on your hobbying experience. You don't understand why or how a gent could fall for a lady of the night? That's fine. But criticize someone for doing so? Free country but I don't see the point in it.
If I had a dime for every time someone says this isn't a dating site I'd be able to hobby a lot more. But ... it does happen. People do fall for each other. Lines do get blurred. Rules do get broken. It can be a state of ecstatic Bliss, or it can hurt like hell in the end.
While I don't personally subscribe to "it's better to have loved and lost," I will say, I've enjoyed coloring outside the lines with great abandon, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll never look down my nose at your Hobbying for not doing so. Don't look down your nose at others is all I'd ask in return.
