I often find myself tempted, but only because of the solitary nature of the job, you know? I find it hard to meet people outside of work, because I'm always working. 
Is this stupid? x
It's not stupid - everyone needs friends!
My experiences are the same as the others posted above - if I feel like I like a client as a friend (and it's happened once or twice, back when I was a newbie) then I find it impossible to give them a service so things just disintegrate in awkwardness, cos he feels bad that I don't fancy him enough to shag him for free and then he can't even pay for a booking because I don't want to accept his money because I would find servicing him sooo weird! It's not a good situation.
I'm kinda friends with a long-term reg who is more like a sugar-daddy, but that relationship has very clearly-defined boundaries and now that I'm no longer new to escorting, I know how important those boundaries are for making things work between escort and client. I would never treat him like one of my female friends because that would just be sooo inappropriate. He doesn't want to know about period pains or a blister I got from my running shoes!
I specifically avoid blurring any lines between 'friend' and 'client' because once a client becomes a friend, I become my real self around him and my real self probably doesn't fancy him so my real self isn't going to be his free slutty whore. And he'll probably be really disappointed about that! So a friendship can never actually occur, if you see what I mean? It's literally impossible.
Making friends with other prossies though? It's really essential. It's not easy to find women you really get along with and who you can trust but it's worth persisting because at the end of the day, if I didn't meet up with my friends at least twice a week to drink wine and eat food and laugh about the ridiculousness of everything, I'd go completely insane. I'd probably start trying to lock clients in my flat to force them to talk to me! There'd be all these terrified men locked in my living room trying to climb out the window while I brandish drinking glasses at them and yell, "SHARE SOME WINE WITH ME, LADIES!"
You need to make time for a social life, I fall into the trap of not going out enough, not seeing friends because of the odd hours. The solution is to give yourself time off, or stop offering evening appointments for a while, if that's too much just give yourself 2 nights off each week and join a club or take part in an activity.
Yes, exactly!
