Of course a punt is not a date in the strictest sense of the term.
But I would contend that a really good hooker, who offers a top quality GFE, does make it feel like a date. If it is working for me, that's how it feels, particularly with a regular. However much I might be deluding myself in reality. But then for me this is all about the 'suspension of disbelief'. It makes it so much more fun.
But if you just want to haggle over the price, fuck them up the arse, and spunk on their faces - yeah, I guess that's not a date. Well, not like any date i've been on. Not yet, anyway!
