I have been in this hobby since 2002.  I have been seeing one of my favorite ladies on a regular basis since then.  Over the last few years, she has more than doubled her requested donation (from $300/hr to 750/hr).  As much as I would like to see her when she visits my area, her new requested donation is more than I can afford since I retired.  Ladies, my question is:  "Would it be appropriate to let her know I could see her, for her original rate, at a time when she has no appointments scheduled?"   If it is inappropriate, I will refrain from asking to see her in the future.

I would be willing to see her at $500/hr.

Personally, I think she'd be overpriced at her "old rates" of $300 hr, but it's your money, not mine.

Are you insinuating you can pilot a military aircraft and can't figure this out?

Your GED from JDU has been summarily revoked.  Oh, that's right, Duncey's English is even worse than yours and JDU's charter has been revoked.

Time to get some strange..

... who are beautiful 37 year olds. Looking after themselves with training and diet has done some amazing things to these ladies.  
Perhaps, this is such a case. And skills can be honed over time.  

Where were "chubby" 20 year olds who turned into morbidly obese 40 year olds.  That's why you don't date chubby girls.  For them, getting thinner is the exception, not the rule.  Everyone can point the occasional fat girl that lost weight, and give her the kudos she deserves, but that's a small percentage.  Most fat girls just keep getting fatter.  

Nothing ventured, Nothing gained,!! Good luck

As a lady who has been around long enough to raise her rates a couple of times, I can tell you that It is not inappropriate to ask about the possibility of "grandfathering", or of any other flexibility in your ATF's rate.  It is a normal adult conversation under the circumstances you describe.

... if she wanted to received $500/h instead of $750/h, that's the rate she would be asking for. On top of that, if she wanted to grandfather you in, she would have.

It's inappropriate.  It doesn't sound like she went from $300->$750 overnight, and you have been paying her rates as they have increased over the years, up until the most recent increase.  Just adjust your frequency visiting her, according to your budget.

I have regulars who I have seen for years that are grandfathered in at a lower rate.  Just be honest & I am sure she will understand.  When your retired your on a fixed income, so let her decide if $500/hr for a friend is something she is willing do.  I would rather see my good, old friends at a lower rate, than risk dating a total question mark who may not have chemistry with, but that's just me.  Now if your a bad date...lol she may pass.  hahhahahha.  

If she does indeed like him, then she should be very happy to see him at $500 hr, and if she doesn't, he's lost nothing by asking.
