Hello all,
A 10$ tip is nothing to get euphoric about, but the fact that she would whine about it to other clients, what does that make her?
A shallow money-grubbing........................I give a tip as a matter of gentlemanly course that makes me feel good. If the lady behaved in a coldly demanding unappreciative mercenary manner over a tip issue she should be dressed or have her clothes in hand because she'd be leaving...TOUT DE SUITE. She just ruined the meeting for me, so it's party over at that point. The ladies or agencies make the rate they want, we don't. If they want to more raise the rate, they shouldn't be an A.. over the tip.
On the flowers issue, the surface of Sampson's statement shows a real cynical attitude that is his issue. Giving a lady a flower(s) of some simple type at a meeting on Valentine's day would be a nice touch since you are seeing her anyway. Why not. As Siocnarf said, just be yourself. But don't go through any more efforts that might imply emotional complications. It could be considered too involving for her or an indication of emotional involvement that she could exploit...if she's that type underneath.
If you want to add little touches like flowers make sure you there's a previous relationship between you that makes extra touches safely understood. I wouldn't do it for a first meeting.
I remember sending a nice bouquet of flowers to Misha for Valentine Day! ... She was working a Candy's on Sainte cath and Saint mathieu around 2002/2004. I was very found of her ! She was barmaid stripper shooter girl , everything to make your night go wild and it did ! Don't remember why I couldn't bring myself these flowers to her, was lonely at that time but surely some family function. It was a big bouquet of roses that i gave to a taxi driver nearby with a tip of 20$ and the address of the strip club and my cell number if anything !
So you sent flowers because you were lonely and besotted with sexual heat and/or strong emotional attachment? Well, if you really feel the need to put your heart or hormones on the line like that then bravo for having the balls to take a shot. But be ready in case of a huge crash. This is an extremely risky situation, almost 100% guaranteed to end up being very, VERY hard on the sender.
Good luck,
Merlot
