and by POT SB, I mean a girl that you have either messaged or texted, but have never actually met in person before.

 
This actually happened to be the other day, I was in a grocery store and horn dog that I am I noticed this hot little chica doing some shopping with what looked to be her mother. Naturally, I checked her out, we bumped into each other a couple of times in the different aisles of the market while shopping,  but I didn't give a lot of thought to her (except of course thinking to myself how I'd love to fuck her. lol) until we ended up in the same check out line, her being in front of me.

 
Naturally I kept checking her out and I couldn't help but think that I knew her from somewhere and suddenly it clicked, I had been texting her on and off for a few weeks, but we had never actually set anything up as she was new and seemed to have some unrealistic expectations before going BCD and I of course wasn't going to make any kind of commitment until we met in person, so we had never gone beyond the texting phase. Of course I wasn't sure it was her, but the more I looked, the more sure I was it was her. Obviously I couldn't say anything to her directly, not with what looked to be her mother standing right next to her, so I sent her a quick text asking if she was at the market. Sure enough, I saw her reach for her phone and read my text barely 8 feet away from me. lol She didn't actually answer me until she left the store, but yes it was her.  

 
I still haven't gone BCD with her, but I just got done talking to her five minutes ago and we do have plans for Tuesday. So we will see.

 
Has anyone else ever had this happen to them.

the "real world" SA product.  Now, not saying in a bad sort of way, cause the last three were actually more beautiful in real life than their SA portfolios. Plus, I never seem to be able to match photos to faces until I've known them for a bit.
About the closest similar encounter I've had is something like yours...standing in the checkout line, lusting for the hot young thing in front of me, and blurting out: "have you ever heard of SA?" And then have brush her hair back and say "why yes cowboy, I have!"  Unfortunately, she had already met a dude the previous week. Damn!

This did happen once to me. A few years ago, started texting with a POT but we had not yet set up a M&G. At work, I had set up a program where college students could spend a day or part of a day shadowing me to get a first hand look at my profession. On one occasion, had a nice day with a coed, and there was something about her right from the start. It began to dawn on me I knew her from somewhere but couldn't quite put it all together. We said our goodbyes, started to peruse the SA site and it hit me. I checked her profile and yes, it was her and she was viewing my profile. We immediately started texting and had a laugh about the event. Everything was cool, we kept the secret between ourselves and never proceeded any further towards an arrangement.  

I’ve run into a few (young) women that I got the vibe they were on SA (or another site). None of these looked like someone I saw on SA, but with my faulty memory you never know. Lol

posted this on a regional board,  but its my favorite personal anecdote of being with a provider who was recognized in public by a customer of hers. . . . . .

I had an instance where I was having dinner OTC  with a provider at an upscale restaurant, and a customer she recognized came in with his wife.  When the wife went to the restroom, he came over to our table and said to my date, "Aren't you (working name)?"  She said yes, but was very uncomfortable.  I interrupted, put out my hand and introduced myself as a friend of hers and told him that since he is also a friend of (working name), would he and his date like to join us for dinner?  He said no, so I told him that we would probably be finished before him, so we would stop by his table on the way out and chat for a few minutes.  When his wife came back from the ladies room, he had the maître 'd move them as far from us as possible, then they hurriedly ate and left before we did.  I think it was a learning moment for him.  Lol

It's true that sometimes the photos, which are totally real, don't look the same as the girl in person.  Often as not, the reality is better!  But I wanted to comment on your report that "Unfortunately, she had already met a dude the previous week. Damn!"  If I hear that, I'm encouraged, not discouraged.  It tells me this girl is a for real SB and is serious about having arrangements.  Plural.  Because they all have several at once just like we do.  If  a girl tells you she met a dude last week, you tell her, great, hope you had fun.  Now it's this week, so let's start something ourselves!

This was years ago while heading to my room at a casino. Walking down the hallway in front of me was this young woman who was just gushing with joy in a phone conversation with a girlfriend. I could over hear her conversation and it was obvious that she was a brand new escort who had JUST left her first session. She was so excited about how easy it was. She was telling her GF that it was "the easiest money" she had ever made, she went on to tell her GF how she just barely touched him and he came almost immediately and how she was actually a little disappointed that she didn't get more sex out of the deal.

 
Well obviously I couldn't let the poor girl be disappointed, so I turned around, apologized for listening to her conversation and asked her if she wanted to make her first day TWICE as good. lol  She not only agreed, but she EAGERLY agreed and for some paltry amount like a hundred bucks, maybe two hundred, her and I walked the remaining fifty feet or so to my room where we proceeded to fuck like rabbits for two hours. I don't think I have ever seen a "happier hooker" lol

 
But back to your point, once a girl gets comfortable fucking for money, there really is no stopping many of them. Many of them get just as much pleasure out of the combination of sex and money as we get out of the sex. I completely agree that  hearing that she is  seeing someone else is not going to slow me down in the slightest

A local college girl was part of my rotation about 18 months ago. I live in a small-ish town, and once ran into her in a local coffee shop when I was waiting for a first coffee meet with a new potential SB (which, sadly, didn't work out...). My current SB (Lydia) was surprised, but interested, and totally cool with it, and she sat at her table and watched the whole interaction. The next time I saw her BCD she even offered a critique of my approach! We got a good laugh out of it.

However, eventually she figure out that another local SD and I were both seeing her (unbeknownst to her, and we both knew we were not the only SD) and this proved to be a bridge too far for the young lady. She dumped us both, rather rudely, and quit SA.

I later ran into her again, in a different local coffee shop, and only nodded at her from across the room. She was quite nervous and, although I didn't approach her, she left abruptly.

SB's do play mindgames with themselves. Some things (being on SA) are okay. Some things (having two SD's who know she's seeing them both) are not.

I have run into SB's that I already knew on several occasions. One in particular I run into all the time. She is one of the "promotional girls" for one of the local beer and liquor distributors. Running into SB's is a little bit different than running into hookers you know. "Sometimes" I will say hello, other times I will give them a wide berth unless they approach me first. I guess I am a lot more likely to say hello to a 30 year old that I have gone out in public with several times than I am a 19 year old surrounded by either her friends or even worse her family.  

 
The other day was the first time I simply recognized a POT SB from her pics, and since she was with her mother I obviously didn't say a word to her. I did send her a text while we were both in line though, and I kind of got a kick watching her read it about 8 feet away from me. lol

I had this one cute, well beautiful if she wore all the makeup very worldly SB.  She is of mixed heritage, mostly Navajo.  Very pretty and very much in shape and practices healthy eating and workouts.  

I had texted her for months on SA (before my expulsion) she would not talk to me.  On Christmas I take the family out to breakfast after the carnage of gifts.  I get this girl as our waitress  that used to work for me in my former career.  We said our “ hi good to see you “ stuff  but There was an underlying tone throughout our meal I couldn’t place my finger on.    

A few days later the girl on SA responds and says I know you irl.  I’m shocked and can’t put the dots together.   I finally figure it out, she thought I knew all along and at breakfast on Christmas morning.  If your new here, the waitress, my former employee was the girl on SA.  Her pictures with the hair and makeup were so stunning I did not recognize her from working  for me.  Because she knows me, she was hesitant to get BCD.  

I do get her to try.  The sex was great.  We did everything you can imagine but something is not right.  I could tell she is damaged deeper than I could help with my cash and dick.  So as much as I actually wanted her, I broke it off.  

Since I started this SB game, I’ve secretly hoped to fuck a friend’s hot daughter or wife.  I got to fuck a hot employee , I’m still working on the other 2.  Gotta love a small town

in a nearby Starbucks.  As I walked in I was stunned to see one of my former regular SBs standing there.1  We had stopped dating sometime last year, but damn she looked hot!  Barely 5 feet tall, hot little latina wearing tiny shorts and a tight top and had dyed her hair bright red!  She saw me and gave me a brief hug, said hi and left shortly after.  I'm thinking I might just have to hit that again.

No way did you walk away thinking "I MIGHT have to hit that again"  

 
We all know you walked away thinking "I HAVE to hit that again" lol

 
And you most certainly won't be finding me trying to talk you out of it either. lol

So true, you got me haha.  How to hit that again while being self quarantined might be a hopefully short term problem though.
