I'm pretty sure what people are going to to say to this but I just have to get it out to people who understand the circumstances. I was working at this place for the first five months of this year and had a regular client there who I really clicked with. Normally i don't really enjoy the sex but with him it was always amazing and we just had such great chemistry from the very start. We also have great conversation and I found myself struggling to stay in my role while I was with him and I kept sharing more and more about myself.

When I stopped working at the agency I continued seeing him but took a bit of time off while I was working on a project for my other job. I saw him for the first time the other day and basically it was amazing and I ended up admitting to him that I have feelings for him (I can hear you all facepalming) If I was reading this situation being described by someone else I know what my advice would be but it's like I just can't help myself. I don't even want him to pay me anymore because it feels weird when I actually really like him. He asked me to have coffee with him on Tuesday and I said yes. I know I'm losing a client and I should have kept my emotional boundaries in check and now will probably get hurt. I just don't feel like he can be a client anymore  now anyway but I still want to see him.

If anyone has any words of wisdom I'd appreciate it a lot. Part of me has this idealistic idea that we are both just human beings and there is a possibility that something could work out between us. The more rational me is screaming 'you idiot, what are you thinking'.  

Things could definately work out as a relationship if you both want it, don't see why they couldn't just because of the circumstances in which you met - although you don't say if they have also said they have these feelings for you too, so take your time don't rush just like you wouldn't in the 'real world'.  Be careful that they  aren't actually married, girlfriend etc... I do know a few girls not to make you paranoid, that have 'fallen' for clients given them free dates etc, slept with them then either discovered they were seeing many other girls or were already taken. Don't rush into anything. Good Luck!

Thanks for all the responses everyone.

We met yesterday and have only just parted 19 hours later! We talked for hours over the coffee and then went for dinner and then I went over to his place and stayed over. He is divorced and has a young child that he sees every other day. We are both into swimming so that's our story when I meet friends of his and vice versa. I don't really have the best track record with relationships because I tend to feel trapped quite easily but he has a agreed we can just take it slow. I'm keeping an open mind but I am just going to enjoy being happy with him for now and we'll see how it turns out.

Thanks again for reading and responding too my ramblings!

Awww that's lovely:-) Hope it all works out for you.

Very very unprofessional.   

But I did exactly that, over three years ago.
I last saw him a week ago.  A good friend now.
Just go with your heart.

Oh reading your subsequent post, I see you did.  Brill!
