Which city she lives in... ESPECIALLY when the conversation was progressing about local restaurants and she mentions she lives only ten minutes away from one of the restaurants I mentioned.. At which point it was likely  we live in the same town or one town away.

Never asked her for an address or anything too specific (not even interested in knowing either), but didn't know some girls are secretive about the "very broad and general" city name too... Lol

So are you willing to tell her where YOU live?  Probably not so why ask her??

Simple rule: Just remember to only ask things YOU too would be willing to answer honestly.

And one third of ladies I've seen  even ask for drivers license as ID, so they know where I live down to the exact street number...  Although I doubt they pay much attention to it. So yes, I divulged a ton of more info...

Besides, I only asked about city since she asked about local restaurants near the area and I wasnt sure which area she was referring too... Not because I was interested in knowing where she lives. Don't care the least bit actually.

It is also a natural flow of conversation, if it seemed like we live in same area it is natural to say "oh it sounds like we live in the same town, which city do you live in?"...

told ya it wasn't hard to figure out who I am...    Why do I even use an alias lol

well my main reason is to make it more difficult being found in a username search (for example,  by those who munch on donuts) than being anonymous.

... since you aren't asking her exact address I don't see why the city name would be a big deal, maybe even asking the  specific area of a city might be though.  I've had a few ask me where I was from and then I say DC and then they want to know what part and then what area in that quadrant etc, some don't know when to stop prying.  

wtf, it's not national security at stake.

when she offered she lived near resturant X.  That's close enough.  If she wants to tell more, she will.  Don't be rude.  She does not want a client cruising the streets to wave to her!
skb

But I get your point.

Oh yeah. We went off on another tangent. My bad.

...doesn't want to tell you, she can just say no or lie.

I get why the question might have come up.  Just like when you're talking to anybody -- a real estate agent, supermarket checkout clerk, whomever -- if someone mentions some place you're familiar with, you go 'Oh, hey, I know that place; you live near here too?'  It's normal conversation.  Especially in this case.  They were talking about restaurants.  If she lives near there, maybe she has good recommendations.  Just because someone is a sex worker doesn't mean she should be treated like an alien.  

Of course, if the original poster were just prying for the sake of prying, or trying to get a mailing address or something, well yea then it would be weird stalker crap.  But it sounds like he's just making conversation.  Nothing wrong with that.

Not all women are privacy freaks.  I was on a 'date' recently and she insisted on showing me her driver's license and credit cards and stuff.  I was like: 'Don't show me that stuff!  I don't want to see it.'  All that stuff your mom told you about talking to strangers when you were 8 years old still applies with clients, right?  Professional companionship and sex doesn't necessarily make you pals.  It's just a service.  I don't get why people confuse this.

If you start asking anything you are setting yourself up for a tumble. Just let the conversation flow man. Besides what makes you think she will answer anything honestly? A seasoned pro will just lie and get on with ball rubbing...nipple play or whatever just to get you off your Inspector routine. A non seasoned pro will get blustered and put a chill on your time with her. Just like any other relationship just let the conversation flow. If she wants you to know something you will be informed. A better question might be, "My love, can you breathe through your ears"? "Can you show me"? Have fun.

Just an Old, Ugly, Fat Fuck with an opinion

Which street and which quadrant?
What's your social security number? Lol

Great city to live in, btw. Tons of people with stable government related jobs and the only metro area where real estate actually appreciated when the rest of the country is suffering from a double dip.

Speaks volumes about the local economy.

If I was a provider in another state, I'd  move my ass to dc area in a heart beat.

Then again the LE activity is also something to be concerned about, although most guys  on ter don't seem too concerned since they see well reviewed ladies and avoid certain areas...

that was kinda strange. I'm curious to know why she wanted to show you. lol

As for the rest of your reply, yes I thought it was a very natural flow of conversation. I guess  I talked to her like how I talk to all civvy women and momentarily forgot that she's a provider and might not like being 'zoned in' on her civvy life.

Also, this does not and should not go so far as to call it "provider protection" or agonizing, but was a general question to satiate a curiosity and to better understand them.

As an example, just cuz I pick up a book on holocaust does not mean I want to gas all the jews,find pleasure in seeing them suffer, or that I'm trying to join the nazi. Some people just want to learn more about something to gain better insite and knowledge about a certain topic, ma man...

Darling, feel free to ask me whatever you want.  Whether or not I answer your question is a different story
