My regular provider is so good at providing a GFE experience that I've fallen in love with her.  Is this a common problem?  Am I just being ridiculous and pathetic?  Should I try to stop seeing her?  What should I do?

smother her. Nothing odd about loving someone who you cannot have as an SO.  

If you have not already done so, do some searches on the General Discussion board because falling in love with providers is a common phenomenon and is a thread-worn theme there. Whatever you do, don't become a stalker or demand undue amounts of her attention, and don't project your feelings onto her or get angry or depressed. Compare: You might be a lonely guy who gets sex once in a while. She might be a provider who gets sex ten times a week and she might be more practiced in distinguishing physical affection and short term contact from true love.  

But who knows, maybe you both have found your soul mates! If you want to live with her and be mutual SO's that depends on two things:  

(1) Would she reciprocate the desire if you wooed her? Only she can answer that. She might presently be on a voyage of self-discovery and not ready to settle down. She also might find you desirable only as a client / short time hook-up. Would an SO relationship give her the stability that she needs to spread her wings and grow, or would it stifle her?  

(2) Do the circumstances of both your lives intersect in a meaningful way that would permit an SO relationship? Are you roughly in the same generation, or are you an older guy who will be sliding into health issues when she is raring to tour France on bicycle? Do your and her career interests and commitments even permit living in the same state (licensing, client availability, schools, etc)? If she wishes to continue providing, will you be jealous or cool with it?

I very much appreciate your thoughtful advice.

And go on a couple dates, go find a civilian to date for awhile. You are getting the game confused, as this is not the way you play it.

....the fact that you've made your feelings publicly known here and you've only reviewed one providers and that one provider is a regular contributor here; either her response or , in this case, lack of response so far should speak volumes.

Now that the cat is out of the bag as to who you're likely talking about I would delete this thread and continue with her privately.

All is well now.  Thanks to all for their feedback.  No more is needed.
