Going back to the issue of using professional services...
I met a working girl at a friend's BBQ some summers ago. At first I was shocked and did not know how to behave. Act cool? Act indifferent? But she brought me out of my misery with her effortless cheery chat and then I realised that she was just another human being and her job was not the sole thing defining her as a person.
I hired that girl some time later for a visiting friend of mine. I admired how she managed in the briefest period of time to find out so much about my friend, even things that I did not know and had never thought (or dared) to ask! I admit to feeling a bit jealous at some point. I wanted to wave my arms in the air and say 'hello? remember me? I am your friend, the one who is wonderful enough to care for your needs... please acknowledge my existence!'
The thing about this girl was that she really enjoyed meeting people and granting them their fantasies (within limits of course). She did not have to fake her excitement and pleasure because it was real. And her clients love her because even though they know they are one of her many admirers, they have her full attention for the time they are together. I met a few of her clients myself by chance. It is funny how small the world turns out to be in the end.
Anyway, nobody told our Welsh friend to go curb crawling (is that how you call it here?) He has the technology (internet) to seek out a classy lady who will fulfil his fantasies. And he should not be made to feel guilty for choosing this option till the right girl comes along. Besides, who said that pros can't form relationships with clients? It may be unethical and devastating but it can happen.
