I started escorting about the same time as vowing to give up on online dating, which I'd been doing intensively for eight years. That was last summer. In January, I logged onto to an old site just to clear my emails, and was messaged by someone who said he was single, local, and looking for something with just one woman, but casually. I really liked the look and sound of him, so we met up.

It was OK to begin with, except he wouldn't give me his mobile number, saying his young son often used his phone. Then long gaps between emails and visits started, though there were some valid reasons.

Anyway, he was abroad doing something a couple of weeks ago. I happened to check his Facebook page last week to see if he was back (we're not friends, but his main stuff is visible). Turned out he was 'friends' with an old colleague of mine (a very bizarre coincidence). I was about 60-70% sure they were more than friends as they did something together in February (when he told me he had his son), have mutual friends etc.

Sure enough, he came over yesterday so I asked him and he said they were seeing each other. I'm really pissed off as I was upfront with him from the start about being an escort etc.

The whole episode has reminded me why I gave up on dating!

Oh dear, what a waste of time. One thing I hate is dishonesty in a man. I'm very honest and I think certain things you mentioned would have put up red flags for me. The phone thing being one huge one. This is the main issue with men, they want to have it all. I'm convinced they are hard wired to want to see many women. But what if guys are just pre-programmed to spread themselves around? Is it then stupid to try n change what can't be changed? How many men are monogamous these days? Honestly I don't know what evolution was thinking of when men and women were pieced together cos we are like totally opposing species. And coupling is hard enough as it is!

The phone thing being one huge one. This is the main issue with men, they want to have it all. The real problem is the more men I meet the more I'm convinced they are hard wired to want to see many women. I've been trying to look beyond that as it puts me off even considering being with a guy in a personal capacity. But what if guys are just pre-programmed to spread themselves around?

Well they say men are but it's respect (and love) that stop them cheating
I guess I can see the truth in that, so many guys lack any respect for women that it makes them all seem that way, but there a guys out there who aren't misogynist twats

I've told my story before on another thread but I met my husband when he was assigned as my driver at one of my agencies a few years ago. Once I had established he had no sexual interest in escorts (he turned down loads of girls when he drove two of us, they used to embarrass themselves by propositioning him all the time, his answer was always "I'm just here for the money") I allowed myself to realise how attracted to him I was.

Long story short. We've now been together 4 years and married for 2, we still work and he's still my driver (with a side-gig of his own so there is no male inferiority complex or only surviving off of one income) but now work indie no more agencies. I wouldn't say life is easy but he understands the job in a way no other guy I've met could and he realises I'm only doing it for the money. I thank whoever brought him into my life every day because really I get the best of both worlds: earn a fortune doing a job I think I'm good at and a loving husband to come home and cuddle up in bed with.

I agree with Fluffy Bunny though he came along at a time that I wasn't even looking for a man, I was not long out of an extremely bad relationship and was just focussing on work, staying home and avoiding social contact wherever possible. Then I meet my then future hubby at work of all places, if it's meant to be it's obviously meant to be! I don't think love is something you can go looking for it just appears without you even realising it.

It scares me growing old lonely lol, but who knows what the future holds..
I've got a son, but he doesn't live with me, I'd love more kids, but I'm getting on a bit for that too..!!
Think I'm just going through one of those periods in my life when I see everything negative, when I'm in a good space,
I'm happy to be single, not having any kids to look after, and just content with what I have..
I don't have to be perfect, but I'm perfect at being me!

It scares me too. I'm 26 so I know to some it's laughable, but with some of my issues (anxiety/panic , that seems a daft word to use as it feels so much more than that, and really affects every single day of my life) and my lifestyle etc i don't think I'll ever find relationships as easy as many 26yr olds, so I do worry about it. But you can't look for someone else to make you happy can you, I think even though as women we've come so far, we still haven't shook off the need for a partner, and the willingness to sacrifice and forgive. ...I may just be speaking for myself here

I am still quite new to this but was given lost of advice from other wgs when starting, the advice I was given was

1. Be careful about who you tell, some guys are just nasty and may use it in arguments and expose you etc
2. Be careful of guys who will use you for your money because you're working or for sex
3. Be careful of the guys who get 'turned on' by the idea of you working- asking you what you did with clients etc.

I had mister number 3 when i started out, some of his exes were wgs and i decided to talk it through with him when i started - he was a bit TOO keen for me to work and then it soon became apparent that he was getting off on it. We had been together previously for a year and suddenly the presents and nights out stopped and i was expected to pay things.
He was also a cheat and after i started working it just got out of control.
Suffice to say he was quickly dumped.

The new guy I am seeing I have known for 5 years on and off through Facebook and mutual friends, and we had  a lot of 5 hour convos etc before even dating, so i got a good measure of who he was. It's quite intense as he lives up north and i'm in london.
About a month in the lying was making me feel physically sick, so I decided to tell him, as I knew I was falling in love with him by that point.

He's not 100% ok with it, but he understands, his main concern is my safety and that he doesn't want me doing this forever. I tell him about the strange clients fetishes/dinners etc, but never talk about sex- although he knows.
So far it's going okay. But we're just taking each day as it comes.

All I can say in my limited experience so far is there are douches out there, but there are some nice guys too. I'm sure if male escorting was more in demand they'd all be at it! Good luck xx

It is possible to have a relationship, and for the guy to know what you do. But I will say from experience that it is a bad idea to mention any of the detail. It winds them up in ways you can't imagine, and their imagination can run riot and throw it back at you. A perfectly ordinary boring booking can turn into a hot sexually charged sweaty orgy in someone else's mind, and it's no good trying to explain either. I don't even say how long bookings lasted or how many there were if I can help it.

Thank you, i will keep that in mind.. I tend to tell him the 'funny' or 'strange' ones, buti guess you're right that we all have a tendency to overthink etc x thank you x x

When I first started this job, only about a year ago, I felt like I didn't need anyone in my life b/c I was going on the "high" of the money, manipulating men, being told you're gorgeous and a sex goddess all day, etc.  And then a few months ago I really started getting lonely and depressed, getting fed up with all the crazy sex and zero intimacy, and missing being able to be the real me with someone who made me feel valued without the makeup and heels and "Chloe" persona.  I am also the kind of person who can date a lot and rarely get past the first or second date, most men just don't hold my interest or have much to add to my life.  I ended up messaging a man I dated a year ago for a few months.  We broke up b/c there was no future, we both had plans to move, he is deathly allergic to my beloved pets...but we both really, really enjoyed each others company.  Turns out neither of us moved and now we are hanging out without the pressure of thinking about the future, knowing it probably can't last but just being happy with what it is right now.  And it's made the biggest difference, just being able to fall asleep in someone's arms, going over and knowing I don't have to do anything but lie there and watch a movie with him or read our separate books in bed together.  Don't get me wrong, the sex is great but sometimes with this job the last thing I want is more sex at the end of the day.  He doesn't know what I do yet- I have never told anyone as selling/buying sex is illegal where I live so I'm very careful.  I'm not his girlfriend and he's not my boyfriend, but we have a connection and we both fill a need in each others' life.  I can't imagine meeting someone who was ok with my  line of work in the US (we are a bunch of uptight prudes when it comes to sex  ::)) and in this current arrangement I don't feel the guilt of lying about work or misleading him since we both know it's just for now and we have agreed that there is no pressure at all to be monogamous (don't ask don't tell haha).  It works really well with this job to have someone in my life but still not have to answer to anyone, or be the whole world for someone.

I don't want to end up alone and I think it's natural to get scared about getting older and being alone.  But I decided to try to live more in the present, be thankful for what I have or can create today, and not worry so much about labels.  Last year before I started escorting I wasn't ok with not being his one and only.  Oh, how much I've learned in a year!  Now it's the perfect situation for me and while I'd love to believe in monogamy and maybe even the sanctity of marriage my mind has been opened to alternative relationships and I'm comfortable knowing that I may not be the only girl he's sleeping with, and we still have a real connection and I'm still special to and respected by him :-)

That's great Chloe, wish I could be more like that. I'd just get hurt though.
I know what you mean about never finding anyone of interest. I'm such an introvert that they have to have something about them for me to want to open up

I can always tell when I'm "in a good place", as I'm happy being single, don't feel the need for a partner/relationship, I'm
happy with everything I've got, live in the moment etc..
When I'm not in a good place, I'm terrified of being alone for the rest of my life, I want this, I want that, never happy with
what I've got in the present etc etc..
That might sound pure airy fairy but, for me, it's so true..!!

I was seeing somebody recently whom I have known for years as a friend first.  I told him about the job from the off and he was pretty fine with it and he knows how to keep a secret too which is great.  However it only lasted a month as his communication is very weak in between dates so I was feeling ignored.

Dating is hard work whereas escorting is easy!

I would still like it to work out with someone and hopefully this particular friend, so maybe in the future etc.

What I have noticed over the years is that men take us for granted pretty quickly once we are settled with them e.g. cohabiting etc. 

Why can't they just see our work as something separate from us and detach - and also remember that we exist and not ignore us or take us for granted ....

I do think that certain men WILL be tolerant of our job as it all boils down to how open minded and tolerant and streetwise they are.

If women who are reading this are wondering how on earth to meet men other than punters then there are meet up groups on [link removed - please don't post these here] for socialising which aren't dates and where you meet men as friends.  It is an excellent way to get to know somebody prior to dating them.

I had a short love affair with a guy which ended this year, I thought he was really into me, he clearly just wanted a convenience woman when it suited him, I didn't like it that he kept turning up randomly driving all the way from his home to mine (it was an hours car drive) , I didn't want to get caught out  he did not know what I do in my spare time I never tell them. like some guys are never honest and lie to me continuously so I didn't need to feel guilt about making money to pay my bills 
I feel at times lonely and am a very harsh critic of myself, I want to feel good about being single  :)

Every now and then I'll meet someone and they'll ask me out etc, I think I should give it a go to go on a date and get myself out there... Every time they turn out to be completely weird/mentally unstable before we've even met up! That kinda of helps towards feeling happy single

It's so much time and effort to be in a relationship too, I think even though I want to be in a relationship again, right now I actually couldn't. They mess my head up too much and I've got too many important things happening to deal with that
