Maybe i’m too much of an optimist, maybe i’m too new to this lifestyle & maybe I am looking through rose coloured glasses, but we are dealing with people. Is it really set in stone that this is impossible, I don’t see it out of the realm of possibilities that a Friendship can come out of meeting someone through this lifestyle & I view friendships more then just hanging out, it's much deeper then that.
I have a real deep affection for all the women I see on a regular basis, regardless if it’s just an SP/Client relationship or more. I know with some of them, once I stop this lifestyle, the relationship will stop no matter how much of our personal lives we have shared. As much as I would like to continue a friendship, I understand & respect that they are very private people and want keep both worlds completely separate. There are also some ladies which I know, ok let’s say i’m hopeful, that the friendship will continue after I stop this lifestyle.
I guess time will tell if i’m right or wrong.

I don't think anyone is doubting the validity of your feelings or the connections you've made with some of the ladies you see regularly. Heck, we're all humans and not robots. I think the main point some of us are trying to make is that what so many call "great friends" in this industry has no comparison to the friends we all have in our personal lives because of the many limitations and boundaries surrounding these unique SP/client/friends relationships. As you so eloquently pointed out, sadly, some of these friendships even come with an expiration date. It really makes you wonder if these are real friendships or if these so-called friendships are based on convenience for the time they exists.
