It must be Love...
« on: 22 May 2012, 01:03:43 pm »
This keeps happening and I'm not too sure why, but I've now had two clients tell me (very seriously) that they're in love with me. They're not mental or insane, just two married guys in their early 40's. I don't think I'm being overly familiar, I'm just friendly and like chatting. I'm not spectacular looking or exceptionally phenomenal in bed - so I don't understand what the hell I'm doing so wrong. Or how to translate this puppy love across into my real life  ;D (I mean with real guys, not punters!).
Does anyone else get this, and does it make you feel a little bit, I don't know, skeevy?

I've had 2 marriage proposals from punters, one of them was out of nowhere and the other I knew he liked me alot but had no idea he felt that strongly for me, though to be honest I think he was a little bit unhinged from reality!

Even when I didn't have a boyfriend I would often make one up if a client was becoming too fond of me. It wont deter them all but it might help with some  ;)
..Some would say I am selling my body but I know I am selling so much more than that..

I've had them say they love me...but usually just in the throws of passion. Then they forget about me till the next booking lol
I did have one who became obsessive...he even wrote he loved me on my feedback and used my real name too...grrrrrr(more fool me for telling him it!) but I've managed to get rid of him and his stalkerish behaviour now:-)

Because you are giving them sex and attention they get carried away. Some just say they love you because they think it will make you offer them more than a client/escort relationship. You just take it with a pinch of salt and most of the time they will go back to what they came for in the first place. It is possible for someone to feel affection for someone at first sight but if the feeling isn't mutual just don't encourage them as someone with that type of personality can become a bit full on.
Hello nice to meet you :)

I've had to dump 3 clients in the past 6 months because of this

They may think they're in love with me, but the 'me' that they're in love with doesn't actually exist

Hmm. I think the money aspect can be what creates an easy boundary for us to stay within, but I think quite a few clients tend to think of the payment they make as just a friendly 'gift' that they coincidentally give at the same time as getting to have sex with a sexy lady they are dating. Of course, plenty of clients do have great boundaries, and they are the very best ones to see whether as a one-off visitor or as a regular. But the guys who fall in 'love'? Yeah, I don't think the money provides any sort of boundary for them!

Also, they tend to read a lot into the between-bookings communication (email, texts, even phone calls - not that I have ever or would ever just chat to a client on the phone!) so I find that the best way to enforce a boundary is to be really strict about how many replies they get between bookings. Like, they literally get one reply from me to any friendly emails or texts that do not include a request for another booking. Otherwise you end up basically sending each other love letters (or so they seem to him) ad infinitum and he gets to invent a whole relationship in his head based on the sweet little things you've written to him.

I know that for some escorts, with certain clients, lengthy between-booking communication is something they do because it keeps the client happy and he's usually the sort who pays a lot for longer bookings while not being too demanding in the bedroom. However, it always results in the poor chap getting completely confused - and the escort getting completely horrified - so the "sugar-daddy-ification" method doesn't really work long-term.

The regulars I've had for the longest time - i.e. because we haven't gotten completely mixed up and sick of each other! - have always had shorter bookings and better personal boundaries. It's a shame that you can't have both (plenty of boundaries + regular appointments + longer bookings) but I think two out of three is not bad. And longer bookings are generally rather, er, trying, anyway. :P

When they say that to me I just tell them that they can't love me cos they don't know the real me, not even my real name!!! Had 1 guy get arsey cos he wanted to leave his wife, cash in his stocks & shares etc, would ?18 grand be enough for me!!?? Eerrr "NO!!!"  Well you're just greedy. And your problem is..............????

I always say I have a boyfriend even if I haven't at the time, it can save a lot of hassle in the long run.

mm it's hard to know what to do. I've had a few guys like this myself. It's hard because on the one hand I may really like a guy and enjoy spending time with him but on the other, if I am friendly to him he is going to start thinking we are falling in love, which is never ever going to happen from my side. I like to be friendly with certain clients and send them emails but far too many times it's turned into them saying they can no longer see me as an escort i.e don't want to pay for sex. Sigh. They just don't get it that in any other business getting along well with your customer does not mean that customer can stop paying for your service.

So yeah, you've got to be careful but inevitably no matter what you do, clients will fall for you and you'll have to loose some good ones because of it. Just be clear from the beginning that even if you do like them you will never date a married guy/client etc etc so that you don't hurt their ego too much.

But yes like Emily Jones here, a lot of guys will convince themselves that you're sleeping with them because you really love them, not because they are paying you a fat amount of cash :?

Emily one thing, how could i close off the conversation after one mail back say? would you say 'ok well look forward to hearing from you when you want a booking' or something similar?? and what if they reply again with more chat, would you just ignore them and risk them not booking again or do you find they do get back in touch even if you don't reply?

Well, with his first post-booking email or text, I'll make sure not to ask any continuing questions or respond to anything apart from direct questions. I'll definitely be sure to send something like, "Thank you! I had a great time, too :-) Looking forward to next time!" - really smiley and friendly, of course, because we don't want to be rude here! 99% of clients will completely understand your intent here and won't reply again, or will be fine if they reply again but you don't reply again.

If, however, they keep responding with flirty questions, or even casual questions, I tend to just leave it. Or I'll respond *one* more time with something really brief. Literally, "Thanks!". If they keep responding after that then I just assume that they're not interested in respecting my boundaries so I don't worry about losing them as a client.

Again, 99% of clients have no problem understanding that an escort isn't a girlfriend and isn't, therefore, going to correspond endlessly with him between bookings. This is why I find it easy to let the 1% of "confused" guys (i.e. guys not interested in respecting boundaries) go. It's definitely good to respond briefly but nicely once or twice - you don't want to be ignoring someone just because he told you he had a nice time! - but anything longer than that just leads down a path that you don't want to be going with the client.

All of the, "he just kept texting me and didn't stop!" complaints should actually be, "why did I continue replying to his texts?" questions, to be honest. Usually it's because you've assumed that responding to him would make him rebook but genuine paying clients don't tend to expect tons of correspondance between bookings, and even if a genuine guy did want that you'd end up feeling short changed since for his ?150 hour's booking he's actually getting about 5 hours a week of your time chatting as well. Not such a good hourly rate then!

If in doubt, check with yourself whether you're feeling a sense of dread at checking your phone/emails because there might be something from the boundary-pushing client there? If you're dreading hearing from someone, that's a good sign you should stop communicating with them!
