Do you end up giving too much personal information to ladies
or guys you have seen several times?

theirs not much to know.
That being said, I do have trust in a couple of ladies.

I'm too free with my personal information, and it does come back to haunt me sometimes. I think I'm a little more careful with the providers.

I can see why providers wouldn't want to share anything. I am partially guilty because I can't help asking questions, but there is always a concern that an irresponsible hobbyist will put the information in a review. I've seen it too many times.

I'm the sort of person who, when asked "How ya doing?", the asker will regret having asked…an hour later, he'll be checking his watch, and looking for the exits..

I tend to "settle in" with providers, usually going for repeats with my favorites rather than constantly trying to sample every provider in town.  Inevitably, I end up learning real names, where they live, how they came to be in the biz, etc…

Do I affirmatively *want* to know more about my favorite providers?  I don't know that I want it; I think it can't be avoided--especially if you're like me, and actually enjoy some conversation before, after, or in-between.

Every time I see my Provider, I learn a little more about her Personal Life. I never ask her to tell me. She just tells me things about what's going on in her Life and sometimes even about other Clients. I guess it's a sign of Trust on her part towards me.

Knowing what she told you, why did you bother to find out all that personal info about her, especially if you were going to do nothing with it.  Seems a bit creepy.

The extreme ends of the hobbyist/provider relationship...
1) Hobbyist pays for an hour, stays an hour, gets what he needs done and walks away.  They can have ATFs and still maintain this type of transaction.  They are not really interested in the provider's personal life.  The provider is there to PROVIDE a service they are paying for.
2) Hobbyist is interested in the provider not just as a sex object, but as a person as well.  They enjoy chatting with and learning about the provider.  Often for them, the "connection" enhances the BCD activities.  As they see a provider more times a certain level of trust is built and the provider may feel comfortable opening up more.

and the consensus was just that, CREEPY

Calling her your ATF is bad enough IMO, but calling a woman who is in the business of selling sex for money "your provider" seems a bit creepy to me, as well as many others here.
