I’m completely brand new to this. I met a potential SD. We spoke on the phone and then a M&G. We talked about the financial benefit and about how many times a week we’ll see each other. He made it clear he’s interested in a sexual relationship and I was clear on the fact that I’m open to that. We were making plans to meet again and I mentioned $. I’m thinking, of course this isn’t an escort situation, but I feel that the norm for a SR is the expectation of $ especially if there will be sex. He didn’t respond and a day later I said “looks like you are no longer interested”. He quickly responded that he was uncomfortable that I brought it up because he doesn’t want this to be an escort thing and he wants someone that is genuinely interested in him and the opportunity. I’m thinking, like that’s just an excuse not to talk about $ again. Which I feel we should BOTH be clear on. But I thought ok, we can continue to chat and maybe have lunch a few times so he’s knows I am genuinely interested. But then in the chats he’s always bringing it back to sex, so I think it’s a little weird that he’s ok with making it all about sex but “weird” that I want to talk about $. Would like advice from both SDs and SBs! Have you been in similar situations? Does he just want to try to get one off and play me? Am I really “making it an escort” situation by bringing up the $? I don’t want it to be make it seem like an “escort”.
