I am simply not good at relationships. Sure, they start well, you are dating and having fun, but then they tend to settle into routine, or one person goes in one direction while the other goes the other way. I'm also a little selfish, and I put other priorities before a relationship. Maybe I'm simply just not ready to settle down, but that's okay with me, because I really am happy being single at this point in my life. In fact I am reluctant to date people my age as many of them are looking to marry, maybe have kids, buy a house and 2 cars...
[Women in their early 20s are attractive but I think I would feel awkward around them no matter how beautiful they look. I have however seen several ladies advertise on Merb in their 30s and 40s that I would like to contact especially the ones on the Indy website.
....Now I just need to take the first step and contact one of these beautiful ladies and then perhaps I will know first hand the experiences of posts that I have been reading.
I began in this "Hobby" while I was still married, ok not happily but all the same married. As I look back and ask myself why I would go out and pay for sex vs staying home and doing my wife, the answers were pretty simple. My wife wasn't a sexual person. She would have sex with me infrequently I think because she felt that she couldn't refuse me any longer without an argument. For several years I put up with this and accepted that this was married life and I shouldn't expect more. Then I decided in this age of the internet to see what was available. That was back in the day when I discovered Robin's spreadsheet. (some of you will remember) I scoured the spreadsheet and identified a girl who I thought might be interesting and booked a time to meet. Wow, was I ever nervous as I walked up to her door lol I saw her many times over a few months and it was fun. Yes I was paying for something that should have been available at home but there was no headaches (in more ways that one). She was up for it when I booked, gave it her all while I was there and I left satisfied with the service. For me it wasn't anything more than the fact that there was someone who was up for it when I was. I eventually met a girl and had a relationship for 6 years and although the sex was amazing in the beginning it dropped off over time and felt like I was married again, except that she really enjoyed sex and was up for it regularly although not all the time like meAfter that I went back to seeing SP's on a regular basis and although I was getting laid as much as I could afford, I was feeling more and more like there was something missing, it was the affection, not just the sex. I missed the cuddling, the sleeping with another warm human next to me, sharing a meal with someone, walking hand in hand with someone. So yea, although I still hobby for the physical need, I feel empty more often than not because there is something missing..............
What I am looking for is a no strings, semi regular ( once or twice a month) intimate encounter for an hour or two with an SP with whom I could have an interesting conversation, share a glass of wine, and be treated as if I am not intruding on them.This I know will depend on if we have somekind of chemistry.
I don’t see escorts to replace having a relationship. It’s a way for me to maintain some sort of serenity until I want a relationship or I stumble upon one
Please bare with me as this is my first post and I may be doing it all wrong and rambling on.
I agree with the above quote.
I don't see how escorts can possibly replace a loving relationship, however I am starting to believe that they can be the best alternative.
I was married for more than 25 years to the most wonderful lady that I have ever met or will meet and will forever be in love with her
Unfortunately cancer does not care if you are a good person or not.
I have never been with an escort or any other woman for that matter during these years simply because I never felt the need for it.
It has now b een a couple of years and I am considering looking for companionship but I can't see myself being ready for dating or having any type of serious commitment.
The other issue I have is that while in my eyes my wife was the most beautiful woman ever(she was my age) unfortunately I find very few women in that age bracket attractive, and I am sure I would not have a chance with the ones that I do find appealing in the real world, that is just the way it is and probably the way it should be. Women in their early 20s are attractive but I think I would feel awkward around them no matter how beautiful they look. I have however seen several ladies advertise on Merb in their 30s and 40s that I would like to contact especially the ones on the Indy website.
So I guess what I am trying to say with all my rambling is that I believe that there is room for both the SP and the real world, but the two should never be confused, there is nothing in my mind that can replace a loving relationship and family born from it, you will retain that forever, but we should all be grateful to the wonderful SP that offer the next best thing. Now I just need to take the first step and contact one of these beautiful ladies and then perhaps I will know first hand the experiences of posts that I have been reading.
This is a most thoughtful, genuine, and touching post. I wish you good luck and bonne chance in your adventures in the "hobby." If you don't mind advice, do know that it can take some time to feel comfortable doing it, and that I have always found every SP to be surprisingly unique. Each brings her self and world to the meeting. It can take a while to learn what you want and how to read between the lines of the ads. I also would suggest that, while agencies can be a blast and very cost-effective, in general independents will probably offer a more mature, sensitive, and even compassionate approach. (See Tianna's post.) Finally, when you have a good night, a bottle of wine, a few hours booked, and things really click--then I find that it can be very, very real and wonderful--even if (or because???) it ends when the door shuts. Good luck!

I’ve been out of the game for a long time now (way before the internet). So meeting people in my social circles gets a bit more difficult. When I was younger going to the clubs or bars and hanging out with a bunch of single friends was a weekly thing, even Weddings were happening almost every week, so there were opportunities to meet single people. These days with the responsibilities that we have and being responsible for little ones makes it even more difficult to ‘get out there’. Doesn’t help that everyone’s married either. Online dating seems to be the only option, but how can you even judge a person by a picture and a bio. I prefer interacting with the living breathing person in front of me.
It’s great being in this lifestyle and having fun, meeting wonderful people. I’ve experienced things that if you told me just 3 years ago I’d be experiencing I would tell you to lay off the crack.
It’s all fantastic but it’s not enough, at least not for me. Once I leave, after the time is up, I want to go back an hour or two later! and not because I enjoyed the play but because I enjoyed her company. I’m far from being a needy person but when I lay in bed at night, when I’m enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck, when I’m sick, having a good day, having a bad day or simply plopping myself on the couch to watch tv, it’s so much better when you have someone there sharing the good and bad moments with you, growing old with you, standing beside you, being there for you, loving you.
There is a lot of effort in keeping a relationship going I agree, there are ups and downs, but hey that’s what relationships are. And as long as your happy with the person you are with, it is soooo worth the effort :smile:
