I did also make a very good friend of a client I didn't see him anymore for escort service after that as he got a girlfriend he didn't have an agenda that's why we're still friends years later
Unfortunately some have a agenda which includes wanting freebies and cross over your boundaries to make you feel. Confused deliberately  .

I've made friends with clients where we click but have clear boundaries so don't meet socially but do text regularly.

An escort friend of mine married a client and are still happily married so it can work.

I had one propose recently but politely declined.

Hope you kept the fucking ring!!!!

LOL

.....and I have told him that I can't charge him to see me (but I might need help with the odd bill).... is that bad? He is far better off than me.

I don't want to take advantage but I do need help..... you should see my Eon electric bill!!

IMO and its only that my opinion,  I would be sitting him down and asking him straight how he felt about me, if he had feelings beyond that of SW and client and be honest and tell him you do.
That conversation also for me would need to include how he felt about you continuing to work while in a relationship with him as this is your job and you don't intend to give it up.

Only once the lines are drawn would I take the financial aspect away from the meetings, but that's me I've boon duped a couple of times and am now more cautious,  I find the good looking ines tend to know they are and know how to play you to move to free sex.

I really hope this is everything you want it to be x
