Cool its great you have stayed friendsAll three of those points are 100% wrong.
We gave it a go, it didn’t work out.
She certainly wasn’t a control freak, she was and still is a very kind hearted and generous individual.

My crystal ball asked me to tell you that she will be asking to borrow some money in the not too distant future. Let us know if this turns out to be true!This is interesting, I am in a situation similar to this although not exactly. I have been seeing this woman for about 1 year now, after a while of interacting her through a conventional booking number and ad she reached out to me and provided me with an alternate set of contact details which are of "her real world". since then we have been discussing a number of things about ourselves and our lives, she has requested that she wants help transitioning into other kinds of work, a field which I had mentioned I have expertise in. We still see each regularly as usual but recently it came to the point we spent time together but without me paying, she has also stated that she "wasn't working today" To be honest I am not overly investing myself into this situation and continue to play it cautious. I don't normally believe its logical to dive into anything whether it be a transactional relationship or a non-transactional conventional relationship. the biggest thing I can learn is that life is Grey and uncertain and it always bodes well to treat things with caution before there are Clear as day signals to dive into anything.
Agreed. It's satisfying for now but I think it's important to know whenever it's time to cut people out of your life. This is not exclusive to these kind of transactional relationships. I've had friends who have crossed the line and screwed me over and they did not deserve my forgiveness either.My crystal ball asked me to tell you that she will be asking to borrow some money in the not too distant future.

looks like things have been going steady for over a year now and it's all good. She went away to her home country for a while and thought she would disappear, but she messaged me from her hometown and bought me some amazing and very specialMy crystal ball asked me to tell you that she will be asking to borrow some money in the not too distant future.

I am closing off on this. to answer your question. 1)The most important feature is maintaining a high quality DM chats, you'll be reaching out to each other at all hours of the day or whenever something good or bad happens. The DM chats should be mutual and you will be able to talk about whatever you want all the time, even when you yourself are just feeling lonely this is not the number she uses for bookings 2) She'll invite you to her apartment with no pretense or alterior motives and she'll just want to see you, you might not even sleep together just watch movies and then fall asleep. 3)She'll start feeling comfortable introducing you to her friends and you'll start going out to dinners together, just picking her up, have a nice meal and drop her home, maybe sometimes there will be intimacy but don't expect that will always be the case. 4) This is the one you probably don't want to hear. But she'll start telling you about the problems she is having in her life, she won't neccesary want you to solve them but it's really important you just listen to her, sometimes she might just want someone to share her burdens with, if you can handle her complaining about her mum who is naggin her for instance, you are already there.My crystal ball asked me to tell you that she will be asking to borrow some money in the not too distant future.

Sounds like being an emotional tampon...This is the one you probably don't want to hear. But she'll start telling you about the problems she is having in her life, she won't neccesary want you to solve them but it's really important you just listen to her, sometimes she might just want someone to share her burdens with, if you can handle her complaining about her mum who is naggin her for instance, you are already there.
That's ok...........YMMVSounds like being an emotional tampon...
this was an interesting thread. I see what you mean but some people live with no regrets.Some of the stories here will become painful lessons.
Ok understood. I have made a very close friend through these experiences and it has been quite fulfilling. If we are suggesting obsession as being an issue I also agree with obsession or infatuation being bad. I think putting too many feelings into anything is dangerous. The biggest thing I have found is the pulling back of the curtain when developing a friendship out of a transactional experience. As I have said in other threads. Cost of living, Christmas bills. The power of friendship and hanging out needs to replace some costly activities. That's why I have no regrets. That being said, I get what you mean. I am sorry you think I am creepy. I didn't intend to come across that way.Does she feel the same? Like, really? Please don't be creepy
This is just my personal take on things, not trying to have a go at anyone.Some of the stories here will become painful lessons.

Ah I got it. Yeah I guess with some people in the industry its just a short time gig. So with a pathway into other things, friendships can be important. Mutual support and so on. I think when things are too one sided (no reciprocation.) It will always seem creepy. I can't comment either way without seeming biased. having a life and contact with someone outside the world of "a booking" seems a clear enough indicator in my books.I didn't say you are creepy.
I said "please don't be creepy".
If she doesn't feel the same she may feel creeped out

I agree. I guess some people have the capacity to give and take within boundaries. It's difficult but not impossible. It does require a degree of personal boundaries and setting limits. It's important to discern what you are getting into and assess situation as a case by case. As I mentioned before, it's an important life skill to also be able to cut something back (relationships, jobs, agreements) if it's not good for you. But that also comes with know what is and isn't good for your wellbeing. It's same concept as "being stuck in a toxic relationship or a toxic work environment" Always see the signs and make the necessary changes if it gets that way. With discipline not overly emotional.I mean this with good intention. Over the years I have seen too many WLs particularly ones that are not solid in knowing what they are doing creating connections with clients outside of bookings.
Often they do this with many. And too many times there is something in it for her and not so much for the men strung along with it.
How do I know? I see it many times, and I have been one of these.
