I seek gentlemen only. I love to develop deep and meaningful connections and have inspiring and intriguing conversation but I'd also take a bit of quiet but gentlemanly eye-candy. ;)
My very 1st client when I began as an independent companion was a very bad experience. However, he taught me a very valuable lesson about what I needed to do to ensure my safety, which is why I have a rigid verification process in place now. I have also had the negative experience of meeting a couple people (through mutual connections) who were very focused on a checklist of things during our time, which is bizarre to me as I'm not a machine and can't stand being treated like one. I'm very fortunate to now only see who I select for myself.
Yes, I have fallen for a client! In addition to being a softy, I structure my business in a way that allows me to meet only men I truly find interesting. I have developed some wonderful, genuine, long-term relationships because of this. It is not uncommon at all for me to become friends with clients and, occasionally, even more.
