“You can get the mistaken impression that they like you and that you are something special to them when in fact you're only a paying customer. How do you handle this? Any experiences, warning signs, remedies, etc.?”
Sorry I'm about to step out so if anything doesn't make sense it's cause I'm in a rush...but here we go...
It’s NEVER anything special unless you spend time away from all this. They may enjoy your company, they may think you’re fun but in the end you’re still a customer if you keep going back as one. How do you tell if you’re always going to be a paying customer or more? Easy; how much time you spend with them outside of SP, MP, SC’s and off the clock.
If a girl calls you to see how you are and how you’ve been it doesn’t mean she wants you. Don’t always fall for this one. This happens with dancers a lot. I know a lot of guys that get dancers numbers and get calls to see how they’ve been etc and asked if they’d like to go see them in the clubs. Guess what? Most of the time they’re only asking you in because you’re an easy buck for them. Now don’t take that last statement as me saying that all SP, MP and SC girls are like that. I’m just letting you know what I’ve seen over the years. Some of my closest friends are dancers and aren’t like that but have always kept my head on straight.
If you think you like a girl, ask them out. If you can handle their profession then you’re in better shape than a lot of other guys. If they’re not willing to see you outside of when you normally see them then you should get your answer. The only thing you need to be worried about is getting caught up in this surreal lifestyle that exists for an hour or a couple of hours at a time.
Best of luck…
