It's not GFE unless. . .

. . . she has kicked you out the door and thrown your clothes through the window.

Romance first and foremost is for entertainment purposes. Yes, girls get a laugh when a joker acts like a gentlemen and tries to woo her within the typical courtship ritual. Any man who overspends on dinners, entertainment, gifts, flowers, etc., needs a reality check. Growing up I was guilty of this because society had brainwashed us (men) into believing that chivalry and thoughtfulness was the key to winning a woman's heart. Eventually, I learned that I may have won her heart over but her ass belonged to someone else, who just happened to put in way less effort, time, money and energy into this particular girl.  

I have a rule of thumb when it comes to romance.  Its $400 or 2 dates or I walk. By the second date I better see some physical contact. I put the limit at $$$$ because that is what it usually what an average appointment costs. Normally, with someone way prettier, more fit, way more skilled and just as good if not a better conversationalist.  

All of my friends know I hobby. Many of my married and miserable friends actually live out their bachelorhood vicariously through me. They read my reviews and some have actually taken the plunge into hobbying to save their dying marriages.  

So thank you Megan and all the girls who provide us with the PSE. You can not imagine how much I appreciate what you girls do

First, little competition, unless it is scheduling conflicts with other clients. We don't have time or energy for courtship.
Second, little pre-date information exchange, other than screening and confirming emails/texts.
Third, activities are well understood going into the date based on reviews and profiles.
Fourth, the date. You treat us like a long-lost friend. We are the center of your attention for 2 hours or more. You don't answer your phone, watch TV, or anything other than focus on us. You laugh at our corny jokes, and act like you really are enjoying our time together. Hopefully, you are, but you play it up.  
Fifth, afterward, we have a thank you email and talk about getting together again.  Perhaps we post a review and ask for whitelisting, etc..
Sixth, until we contact you again, little or no contact. No maintenance. No phone calls. No emotions, other than us remembering a great time together. Again, we have neither the time or energy for courtship.

This is what we call want for GFE

GFE is a trap!

I'm at the point of one and done or PSE appointments.

the mind fuck is very possible, or common, with GFE providers.  

It is NOT real, so why act like it is?  

Back in April I had an appointment with a lady I'd seen before. We did not keep much email contact on previous meetings. So the next month just like every month, she sends an email that she's gonna be in town in a few weeks. I tell her I can't. she emails again a week later. I say I'm not sure yet, maybe. I'm thinking maybe she REALLY does want to see ME. She emails again a few days later a very flattering message.My schedule had cleared so I set the appointment for the following week. While talking to her during the session she tells me she had a bunch of cancellations.  

Then it hits me. So THAT"S why she was persistent. Hmmm.

 GFE?, No thanks.
