If you thought strippers are hustlers watchout for providers, they are in the business of getting paid for their service one way or the other.

Getting paid could mean cash, paying for car, rent, ..etc.. at the end of the day is paying ..

The day your money runs out they will move on
Also unless she is some sort of saint, the oldest saying in the provider’s biz is that .. once a provider always a provider  ! (The actual saying use a different “P” word!)  

I ran into this twice and both times lost a lot of money! .. pay for the hour, change every other week and you will still be ahead of the game!

I have been hobbying almost three years but have primarily seen one person the last year.   I met her at one of the local agencies.  She is Korean.  Our relationship has evolved into more than client-provider.   She is only seeing me now and wants to keep it that way.   The question is should I continue to pursue a relationship or is this a bad idea.  Anyone have this experience before?

If you like her and 100% ok with the fact that she is a provider, then go for it.
If you have hesitations or if you're going to get insecure later down the road, then probably no.

Not sure what being korean has anything to do with it. It only helps identify who it is from your reviews. lol

Asking people here won't be much help because they don't know you or her from the guy stranded in the southpole. All you get will be random stab at an answer, including this one. lmao

First of all it does NOT matter how you meet some one, love is love and people have met in stranger places! You just have to be sure you love or care fo the real person behind the escort and she needs to know the real YOU. not the guys who's in love with a fantasy. Not all escorts are money hungry empty souled individuals incapable of love. Yes we escort for money....just like you go to boring jobs for money duh
So often clients fall for escorts because of the fantasy, the illusion that we the most perfect girls ever and we are...for a few hours each day. We dont bitch at you, we treat you like you're super hot, we give you bj's lol all the yummy stuff you crave.
Other than that we're normal people with normal emotions. Once you enter a relationship with her you are no longer #1 in the same way, she does not owe it to you to pamper you, have sex with you all the time etc. If she must get a real job since she is quitting escorting understand that things will NOT be the same. She will be tired somtimes and not feel like having sex, she'll be grumpy and show it instead of putting on her game face, she'll prob gain a few LBs..okay thats just me ha!
Date first and do real things together. Dont commit to monogamy until you're both sure that you like the REAL people you're looking at and NOT the illusion of perfection/fantasy. You hear stories about this all the time and how the relationship fails...well guess what!? Real life relationships fail all the time! Shit, 90% of the men here are in unhappy relationships SOOOOO the fact that you met this way means nothing.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you 2. Love is the best thing in the world.

A person could wear out their worry beads in a hurry pondering this situation.

Your review history suggests you are fairly mobile with your pursuits, hobby and otherwise. Not to bang the drum that a few of our classmates have, but the "you're the only one" warrants a least a bit of a pregnant pause. A relationship, long distance at times, is hard generally. Plausible denial rings loudly in the circumstance you find yourself herein. Having been there myself, ask not what you can do for her, but what does she mean to you?

Is her suggestion to continue as PfP? If she is/was a provider from an asian agency, there is the chance she may "need" you as much as want. Legit work, lucrative enough to support oneself, can be challenging in this economy. Credentials to allow one to pursue those options are a pre-requisite.

Most likeley she won't like you after few months of monogamy anyway or you won't like her. So for now give it a shot and get as much enjoyment as possible. The only advice I can give you is to walk away when the bad times start to consistantly outnumber the good times. Then be thankful for the experience, learn from it and move on.

Remember the song? Looking for love in all the wrong places. If you want to find true love and a real relationship, this place ain't it. You would have better luck on a dating website (not a whole lot, I would say). How do you know she is only seeing you? Are you only seeing her? Does she have a green card? Have you ever thought maybe she is using you to get a green card so she can stay here legally? Once she gets her green card, it's annyeong (goodbye in Korean) which is actually good for you since you don't have to be her sugar daddy anymore.

...and someone who knows more than I says if the woman is 100% out of the business, it might be workable if both parties feel strongly and want to proceed.  

If she needs to work, it won't fly and will end badly.  Lots of people on this board have had this experience and although each situation has its particulars this general principle seems pretty well established.  

and see what happens. There will be your answer!

Ask this question on The Erotic Highway, listed under the General Boards above.  Or, just scan or search the board and you will find versions of this same question asked over and over again.

You have basically gotten THE ADVICE on here.  You may find it delivered with greater nuance over there, perhaps even addressing your Korean specificity.

Or, if you really want a hoard of guys to tell you to leave her try asking on the Reviewers Only board.

...this topic cycles through periodically.  Well looks like here we go again.  As you were instructed go visit the Erotic HWY for in-depth discussion.

An old dude told me looooong ago the right women got more game than most men and most can end up pimping you!

She is so right on, a few years ago I got in a relationship with a lady. Everything was great, she was would stay at my house on the weekends when she was in town working.  The real test was when she took a month off and stayed at my house.  We learned alot from each other, everything that Assistant69 said is so true. Long story short, things were best when we was together for 59min and 60sec.  Anything longer than 3 days was pushing it.  Just think with the big head not the little one.

Look at the pessimists offering advice above - Guys in failed marriages that are too lame to leave. Ha!
I believe the best woman to be with would be a woman who used to be a provider. I think she would be loyal because she has already "been there, done that". She has already seen everything there is to see. When a provider gets out of the business she doesn't want to be with a ton of guys.
You should think about if you want a monogamous relationship and you should understand that real relationships aren't like 60 minutes fantasies where you get to feel like a king.  
The end.

But in all reality, I'd have to go with ASSistant69 as well.

It might be presumptuous to say, but I think all of the people here living in at least two worlds have a different perspective on things that a person not in this thing couldn't understand. Or wouldn't, by choice.

What I mean is, they couldn't fathom the thought of getting into a relationship with someone that pays or gets paid to have sex with numerous people. You can tell your married buddies 'Oh, you pay for it alright. How much did that house cost you? And the car she's driving around in?' The ones I've said that to looked like I basically took a 2x4 across their skull, they never thought of it that way.

So, basically what I'm saying, and I'm going into typical MP-mode now, Fugly(lol!), is fuck what anyone else thinks or says. Do WTF you think you should do. Only you and her know WTF is going on, and neither of you have to fucking answer to anybody. You lose, you lose. Get right back on that fucking horse and ride again. It's not the end of the world, and you might be pleasantly surprised when you come clean with your thoughts and/or intentions.

Stranger shit's happened....

But yeah, I agree. Only he can decide if it's worth going for it or not. From what little he wrote, I wasn't sure if he was asking if he should or should not try to pursue her because she is/was a provider or because he thinks she's using him. Again, only he knows the answer to that.  

As for the possibility of her using him to get greencard or something, it doesn't cost him anything so he's not going to lose much.... but technically/legally such sponsorship would make him obligated to take care of her financially. Nothing new there really, many women seem to expect that from guys anyway.

...smart man...lol
Buy a ticket, take the ride..

From my experience, don't believe everything they say. I once knew a provider with whom I hang out a lot told me she didn't have a boyfriend and didn't want one. She had a husband AND a boyfriend.
