Appreciate all your comments guys, some brutally honest and some I can empathise with, that's the purpose of sharing things on a forum, anonymously I may add, helps put things into perspective, which tbh I will struggle discussing with anyone in my daily life.
TomThumb, thanks for sharing your experience, it is not easy thinking and writing about it. Before I joined this forum, I know of an ex-colleague who nearly messed up his life getting involved with a stripper/prossie, I am not sure how things are with him now
At that point I was like how can someone be so daft and you feel so confident it is never going to happen to you until it does!
I wish you the very best of luck on your relationship and sincerely hope it's all going well for you now.
Also, to be fair to the WG in question, it has been me doing all the chasing, she has never texted or messaged me out of turn and I am fairly confident she never will, apols if I sound like some fluffy white knight, but that is what it is.
Also, I can hookup with civvies at any point, however for me I just can't be bothered with the hassle which comes attached. Reading through all this, and thinking about it, it just dawned upon me why I embarked on this hobby in the first place, no-strings sex and intimacy with some really hot girls, albeit at a price, so why do I want to disturb something which has been working effectively so far. Not sure yet whether I shall continue seeing her but this discussion has really helped clear up some of the fancy thoughts I may have held before, so thanks once again chaps for sharing your comments/experiences and may the punting gods continue to shower their blessings on us all
