Forgive me if this has already been addressed

I have a client who is a professional and lovely man. I've seen him about 4 or 5 times, and everytime he sees me, he asks me out for a drink/date and says how beautiful/perfect/wonderful I am. I turn him down, because I'm professional, and because, well, I don't fancy him. Recently, he's started to get abit grumpy about it. I'll turn him down gently, saying he deserves more than dating an escort, or that he's really nice but I don't want a relationship, etc etc. Anyway, by the end of the appointments, he gets grumpier and grumpier, until eventually accusing me of 'chatting bullshit,' and just giving him excuses. He just won't take it gracefully, and it upsets me, because I don't want to hurt his feelings, you know? But I'm starting to feel backed into a corner, where he almost wants me to say 'I'm not interested. Back off.' He just isn't getting the hint. Should I stop seeing him altogether? I just don't understand his behaviour. Very odd.

I was in a situation like that. Just stop seeing him. If you dont, it'll get worse. Clearly he doesnt realize 'no' means 'no'. Get out of that one.

ditto...and it was hard as he was a regualr once a month and good payer, but it became too stressful so had to say goodbye.

I hate it when they cross the line like this.

Warning signs are that you feel backed into a corner and his refusal to take no for an answer.  He is trying to control you/manipulate you into a sitation which you've made clear you don't want.  Next time he calls for an appointment, I would just tell him that you are not taking any more bookings from him as his behaviour makes you feel uncomfortable.  Stick to your guns, because he'll undoubtedly try to wheedle his way back in.

Clients like that, you can do with out.

I'm definitely going to stop seeing him. He is definitely backing me into a corner, all the time, and it's just ridiculous. Thanks for the advice girls, this forum is great 

You are making the right decision. He isn't a 'lovely man', a nice man wouldn't dream of daring to tell you that you were talking bullshit! That comment alone, made once, should be enough for him to find himself suddenly naked on the street holding a bundle of his clothes

We should have them write a contract stating: " This is a service that I'm paying for. The lady does this for money therefore as good actress as she might be I will never confuse fiction with reality. Signed: ------"
