Every connection is unique — but some linger in memory like a fine scent or a song that plays at just the right moment.

Oddly enough, the connection comes mostly from communication.     So, the most memorable experiences and encounters I've had have been with companions I've had amazing conversations with.  I've met some truly amazing people, over the years, and the more we talk, the closer we get, in some cases.

Absolutely the CONNECTION.  I prefer building more than just a moment and love it when a provider is attentive and present.  Timeliness is a bonus, but one of my favorites is notoriously tardy, but always makes it up by providing a great experience.  A mutual shower at the beginning is often a great way to see how well we're connecting and really increases the intimate feeling. A memorable session is much more likely to be a repeat.

Definitely connection and communication!  In addition, I'm "up there" in years so I really appreciate the companions that are patient with me and take their time to please both me and themselves.  Good sense of humor helps a lot too - particularly in the area of breaking the ice for first time visits.  Good DFK is must for me and always has been.  Loads of other stuff but these are the most important and the first that come to mind.

Squeaky clean hygiene, good connection, 100 % attention to pleasuring me and getting herself off , open menu w/ some organic nastiness or kink thrown in.

I'm with you about having a good sense of humor.  Most of the time I've had truly exceptional dates, we've spent a fair amount of time laughing and feeling good.  

Mutual shower is at the top of my list. We’re on equal ground and it allows for any defenses to drop. First time with Analana years ago and she laughed at me because I was so stiff (well that too) and she made me feel instantly more relaxed. Felicitycmt was great at making me relaxed and excited at the same time.

Does she enjoy her work and is appreciative of you seeing her? Is she genuinely interested in what you have to say? Does she look you in the eye when talking to you? Is she enthusiastic and excited when engaging in the physical attributes of the encounter?

I was visiting Scottsdale and went through a phase of using one of those "arrangement" sites. I was able to plan ahead and really lucked out. We met at the bar of my resort hotel and she was physically attractive. But the conversation is what set it off the most. First, she was intelligent (had a masters degree) and probably late 30's early 40's at the time - maybe 10yrs my junior. Smart is sexy as hell especially when you match it with life experience and simply knowing what you like and not worrying about what others think. When the conversation turned to our respective motivations for meeting up, it felt liberating simply being able to voice those desire without judgement. When it was time to go upstairs, we were both ready. I can't remember the last time I got so hard!

Your story brought to mind something I read online a handful of months ago.  lol

I second having intellectual stimulation.  I find have outstanding conversation really helps to elevate the experience.

The conversion is a prelude to a kiss! 💋
