Is anyone else here seeking, more than a one night stand?

I'm seeking a one-hour stand. Or maybe 90 minutes. LOL.

There are hobbyists who boast of being one and done guys, and if that's what floats their boats, more power to them.

more than a P4P session, but I have had over a dozen real life relationships with providers over the years, lasting anywhere from a few months up to a year, that evolved from repeating a few times with the same provider.  When there is an attraction on a level that surpasses what you are normally used to in this biz, you both realize it fairly quickly.  

Same here, I don’t know what she meant by “genuine connection”.  If I’m going to see a provider more than once or twice, I’d like there to be some “connection” beyond physical sex. I prefer longer sessions, where there’s time for other activities besides sex. For both of us to enjoy those activities, it helps to have some connection.

I had a genuine connection with a provider. It was wonderful while it lasted.  I’d love to have her back.  Sadly, all such things seem to end.  

I'm never really seeking a connection but if there is one I hope it is genuine and not me being fooled. All joking aside, I'm always pleasantly surprised when a good bond  forms. And while I do go through spurts where I see a lot of providers, for the most part I stick to 3 or so friends.

but it does happen. I live for those moments (inside or outside of P4P).

My preferred...
I have been fortunate over the past twenty years of  forming friendships within the rails of p4p.

a deeper connection, I push the last two inches in.  

I would like nothing more than to find my unicorn—A hot sex partner, confidante, companion and travel buddy. Not a wife— Heaven forfend.

It may come true.

You mean you push everything in.. LOL.  

but rather the few who are willing to put in the effort. I've found that 100% of the time I've put in effort to create a deeper bond with a provider it has happened.

Unfortunately for that feeling to continue, you'll also have to accept all the "serious" aspects of a relationship. It sounds like you had a wonderful and no doubt genuinely great evening for both of you. But you basically got to drink a bottle of whiskey without the hangover.

Note the part where I said "lover".  The women I've met my age are just not knocking my socks off in bed.  And the women I meet here who are in their 20s and 30s feel the same about me.  Finding that combined with everything else is what has been particularly difficult.
