Gia's Gift

Today I met up with a Bohemian beauty for lunch, Gia of Celine's Fantasies. I've been meaning to meet with Gia for quite some time but never got around to it. This was a terrible mistake, which I will explain later.

Anyways, after many phone calls to Celine and her associates, I was finally able to book a lunch with Gia. I paid full price for the hour and a half that I lunched with her, which at first irked me. But this was my choice - I wanted to meet her for lunch and nothing more. The opportunity cost of spending lunch with me is the rate that she could get if another client spent an hour and a half with her, so I paid to meet Gia. I have no regrets whatsoever - she was well worth it. I wouldn't do this with just anyone but something pulled me to her and it wasn't just my curiosity or her cute ass on Celine's website. My internal gyroscope was attracted by her gravitational pull.

Now, the dictionary defines Bohemian as "an artisan, usually gifted in literature or the creative arts; one who defies social conventions; a gypsy."
Moreover, "Bohemians express themselves without regard for social convention. They attempt to experience the mysteries of life through their unique perspective. The term Bohemian, as it refers to lifestyle, seems to have begun in France with the term La Boheme. It started as a way of describing bands of carefree 'gypsys' that came from Romania. As they traveled through Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), the reigning royalty gave them letters of safe passage. These letters indicated that the Bohemian royalty condoned their practices and lifestyle, which afforded them a sense of prestige in western Europe at the time."

"Today Bohemian is used to describe free-thinking, free-living people - usually artists. Its modern roots are with the Beatniks of the 1950s. Their poets now stand as icons of progressive libertarian thinking."

I apologize for this detour into the meaning of 'Bohemian' but this word came up during our conversation and I needed to look it up. Gia is definetely Bohemian in mind and spirit. The letter "G" in her name stands for generous, gorgeous, genius, good, great, groovy. But above all "G" stands for gifted. "Come on General, you forgot to mention gravy and gag." Well, maybe some of you think I am laying on too thick but those are the words that naturally come to my mind when I think of her.

I chose to meet her in a nice sushi bar downtown at noon. I felt awful all day today. I was in meetings all morning (yuk!). I was actually in a meeting when I noticed the time and scrambled to get to the restaurant. When I arrived she was already there waiting for me. I wanted to get there first but she beat me to it (a gentleman never lets a lady wait). Given that she is a sushi connaiseur, I let her order. The service was lousy but the food was great; she ordered amazing sashimi and great entrees. And we drank lots of saki throughout - we both made sure the cups were full at all times!

I found Gia to be a classic natural beauty. She is engaging and very easy to talk with. Her smile is infectious and cute. I love the way her eyes light up when she smiles. She is curious but always respectful. I shared a lot of personal stuff with Gia today and she listened and knew exactly what to say to lighten the mood. At one point I asked her:"...so if you won $10 million dollars tomorrow, what would you do?" Without hesitation, she replied: "I would write, I love writing; I would also travel." I thought to myself, good answer, I would do the exact same thing.

As we left the restaurant, I was buzzing from the saki. I kissed her twice...I just couldn't resist those lips! Unfortunately, I cannot sleep with this gorgeous creature. Without going into details on why, I wouldn't feel right about it. I should have met her a long time ago.

I gave Gia a little gift that I hope will cultivate the writer in her. But the truth is she gave me the gift. At one point, she said something that made me reflect on my life. I have so much to be thankful for and I often forget how lucky I am.

Will I repeat with Gia? No doubt about it. She is someone that I would love to keep in touch with. I hope she feels the same way but the truth is I do not know how she feels. All I know is that I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart. I also want to thank Celine who is an exceptional lady in her own right ("Hoes before bros!" ).

Gentlemen, please treat this lady the way she deserves to be treated - like she is the most precious thing on earth. If you're lucky enough to have met her, you know exactly what I mean.

Afterword: When I went back to the office, I had another deadly meeting. I kept thinking about her, smelling her scent on my lips and left hand. I left the meeting and called Celine's. Faith answered the phone and I asked her if Gia was still around. I wanted to continue talking with her. She wasn't available so I called Stripper Lover to see what he was up to. To my surprise, he was near my work so I went to meet up with him.

As I walked in and saw him smoking his cigars at the bar, he noticed I was beaming. I told him with a smile: "I saw Gia for lunch today." "So what did you think?", he asked. "I think I am in love and I want to go on a trip with her!"

Can't we all just drop the presumptious entreaties to treat our favorite ladies the "way they deserve to be treated" or other such hollow incantations????

Dee,

You're right but I will leave it there for now. I know it sounds corny but sometimes I just write from the heart. Bear with me.

thanks,

What is the point?

shijak said:

Don't take this the wrong way, but apart from being a really nice story, what is the point of this thread? True, it does offer some nice insight on Gia's personality (I have to concur with it to a point, as I've briefly met her at one of Celine's dinners), and an example of a typical work day for you, but it just seems more like a diary entry than anything else.

Click to expand...

Shijak,

I didn't realize there has to be a point to my thread. I simply met a wonderful lady that I paid to have lunch with and left fully satisfied, if not more, despite not sleeping with her. It isn't just her great personality that I enjoyed; as I mentioned she is naturally beautiful, very smart and I can add that she has a great body. When she stood up to put on her coat, I saw the rest of her and was very impressed. Gia is the "package" that most guys dream about. She is the type of lady that if you were taking a class with, you would do everything in your power to be part of her group in any project. She reminds me a lot of another babe that I have not reviewed yet but each lady has her uniqueness.

shijak said:

you hinted at some really interesting tidbits, then pulled away. Have to admit to some disappointment. Why don't you try starting the male equivalent of Karma's thread? In fact I'd encourage it.

Click to expand...

What interesting tidbits are you referring to? If I pulled away at some parts it was because I am not going to get personal and violate someone's trust. Why am I not sleeping with her? Trust me, I am very tempted to get intimate but I have my reasons and I do not need to share them here. She doesn't even know why and she didn't ask me why I just booked a lunch.

I am not big on public diaries - there are some things that are far too private. Besides, I share an awful lot here. Karma's thread is perfect and adds a lot of perspective that I think is lacking here. I would love to have Gia contribute too but the bulk agency ladies are not allowed to have Board handles for obvious reasons. But my diary would offer nothing here. At least, I do not think it would more than I have already shared.

Ultimately, the point of this thread is that sometimes you are driven to do something out of character and you can't really explain why. I don't know why I needed to meet Gia - I just did. I planned on giving her a little gift to express my gratitude but the truth is she gave me the gift.

I am glad our lifepaths crossed. She opened my eyes to the beauty of the world at a time where I feel down. There are some ladies in this business that you honestly would be priviledged if they were your friends. I count her as one of them. I am not saying we are friends - all I am saying is that if I can pick a few ladies that I would love to keep in touch with long after they leave this business, she would definetely be one of them.

Sorry I disappointed you but that is the truth.

Hoes before bros..

chef said:

A long, rambling, but tittilating "review" about lunch with a nice lady, but where does the "Hoes before bros" part fit in? It sounds deprecating.

Click to expand...

Chef,

If you noticed I added a wink there. Typically men like to say "bros before hoes," but Gia was talking about her relationship with Celine and twisted it around to "hoes before bros." There is something very genuine about Celine and even though I do not know her from a hole in the wall, many ladies that I have met (many indies) have spoken so highly about her. Gia was just playing on a phrase to express her loyalty to Celine. I think it is a tribute to this agency owner that her ladies and many others think so highly of her.

Celine is someone else that I would love to take out for a one-on-one dinner. Unfortunately, she is not the easiest person to pin down for an encounter...way too busy with all sorts of work. To be honest, I wish she could share some of her wisdom. She can title it "Celine's Memoirs - The Experience of an Agency Owner that Cares."

A reply to those that just don't get it...

Guys, I will leave you with these parting thoughts. I did not want to post this in the outcall section because I did not get intimate with her. That was my choice.

>>Doc,

I am not looking to hook up with anyone by paying for lunch. Did you forget that I am married? As I stated, I just needed to meet Gia. It was eating away at me for all sorts of reasons and I am glad I met her. Without getting cosmic about it, I am glad our lifepaths crossed. I do not like paying for dinners but I felt compelled to do so. It's as if something inside of me propelled me to carry through with this. I can't explain it but I am just glad I went through with it. She gave me a gift by pointing out that despite my hardships, there is a lot worth living for in my life. Gia reminded me that the glass is half full.

>>gladtick,

Yeah I got issues with narrow-minded jerks that only see these ladies through one dimensional GFE lenses. At the end of the day, I enjoyed my lunch with Gia and I hope she did too. She might not remember it but I will and that is all that counts.

Believe or not gentlemen, there is a lot more to life than sex! Some gems out there do not need to undress to work their wonders.

chef said:

GG: My objection was to the use of the term "hoes"; it shows disrespect, coming from anyone (even with a wink). But....call me old-fashioned...it's not a term I use.

Chef

She used the term because guys use it all the time. She twisted a popular phrase and turned it on its head. She obviously didn't use this word to denigrate SPs.

As for the part about not looking to hook up with anyone by paying for lunch since you're married....well, i dunno about that one. Most married or attached people i know that are involved with this biz are screwing around and it's not always with sps.

Anyways, i'm glad you had a good time with Gia....she can be quite witty and from what i've heard, her wit can be quite endearing to some.

Doc,

I have only screwed around with SPs but cheating is cheating. Without beating the point to death, some gems in this business are worth meeting even if you do not sleep with them. Gia is one of those gems. She has that gift in her as do some others that I have met. I just count myself lucky to have met them.

no.2 There will be no goodbye kiss at the end of lunch ( LoL)

LOL! Is that your gift to me?

take care,

If you are harming no one in the process why should it matter to anybody else.

Click to expand...

Daringly,

I never tell people what they should or shouldn't do in their encounters. You're absolutely correct - as long as you're not harming someone else or harming yourself, just enjoy your time with the lady. Gia is a babe and she is fun to be with. Yes, can you believe it, I enjoyed my time with her even though we didn't have sex! OMG, how can this be possible? Is it heresy to admit this on the board?

Maybe, but I am getting to know myself - sex for me is bullshit when I park my feelings at the door. I need to to converse with the person, to enjoy their minds before I enjoy their bodies. I would be lying to myself if I told you otherwise.

I look forward to seeing some ladies flourish long after they quit this hobby. I might not know them then but I have a feeling some of these gems are going to lead very interesting lives long after they quit. They have something about them that is intrinsically beautiful, and I know they will succeed.

GG

P.S. I will be back later.

On fitness and health

Daringly said:

I have regained the weight i lost but i am taking it upon myself this summer to get back into jogging and running. I need to not only lose weight, but you start to feel unhealthy. Here is hoping i can stay motivated because as you get older it is not easy to convince yourself to put in your exercise time.

Click to expand...

Daringly,

I wish you luck into getting back into shape. Health is something we all tend to take for granted in life until we fall ill. Everybody is going to eventually suffer from an illness in life. Some are worse than others. But never take your health for granted. Read all you can about the biochemistry of certain foods we eat and what we put into our bodies. Exercise helps but you do not need to push yourself to the point of exhaustion to feel healthy. In fact, it's counter-productive.

When I was a young lad, I picked up Arnold Schwarzenegger's encyclopedia of bodybuilding. I also saw the documentary "Pumping Iron" and thought wow, I want to be just like him - look at his body:

But life changed for me. I now enjoy whatever I can whenever I feel good. If I don't feel up for something, I do not push myself. If I am enjoying an activity, I simply enjoy it and count myself lucky that I am having a good day.

Gia knows exactly what I am talking about and so does Karma, Samy and a few other gems. Those were the cards that I was dealt and I have to make the best of it.

P.S. If you have not read my post on Steve Jobs in the inspirational thread I recently put up, then I highly recommend you read his brush with death.

Crossroads

Doc Holliday said:

As i mentionned, getting involved in the 'hobby' more and more deeply eventually made me lazy and instead of regularly working out and putting my social skills to work during a night out as i used to be good at, i'd wait until i'd head back to Mtl and simply grab the phone and make a call...easy stuff. But i realized that i wasn't doing myself any good not only by not exercising (or caring to) anymore, but i had regressed socially.

Click to expand...

Doc,

I think you scratched the surface of the more insidious side of "hobbying." We are social creatures but the relationships we manufacture hobbying are by and large artificial and if we become to use to them, we risk losing our requisite social skills for the real world. This can be severely detrimental to one's personal growth.

Doc Holliday said:

My hobbying is now nearly non-existent (but still dabbling on a rare occasion), and with my fitness level slowly improving, i feel that getting back into "the game" is once again within reach. The 'hobby' does have its advantages, but the disadvantages can often outweigh the good if you're not careful, and it's not always a question of dollars.

Click to expand...

Doc,

It sounds to me like you are at a crossroad. Believe it or not, I am somewhat there myself. I am asking myself some tough questions lately and it isn't just about guilt. I am asking myself: ""GG do you really see yourself as a lifer?", meaning do I see this as a phase in my life or a lifetime hobby. I honestly do not see myself as a 'lifer' or at least deep inside, I hope do not become one.

Although we do not have official statistics, I am willing to bet that the majority of hobbyists do this for a short while and then get jaded. Eventually, most SPs and clients in any five year cycle will leave - and will never return.

The "hobby" has brought me many ups and downs. I have no regrets but I need to reflect about my future as a hobbyist. I am at a crossroad.
