I had a follow-up email scheduled to go out to Mr. Cricket for today (the “social date” client from last week). I told him that I was hoping to see him when he returned. You really never know what these guys are thinking but his reply gives me the impression that he will book me next week. All I can do is keep up with clients after appointments (provided they communicate by email or they’re not married).

I didn’t charge Cricket enough money to schlepp my @ss through almost two hours of traffic to see him. It was a terrible drive: it rained hard a quarter of the way and traffic moved slow half the time. What should have been a 1 hr and 10 minute trip turned into a 1 hr and 50 minute trip.

Anyway, he more than made up for it by skipping dinner. He actually asked if I wanted to skip dinner on my way in. I was worried he would try and pay me less because there’s no way he’d want to eat with me after sex. I’ve seen how he behaves after sex and he wants to be left alone. But the rain made things so difficult and I was already running late so I took him up on the offer and hoped he wouldn’t try to cut my payment short since we decided to skip dinner.

When I got to his hotel, I was happy to see that he had my three hour rate waiting for me. Sex was difficult because he has a limp peen (probably from poor diet). After he came, he asked, “are you still hungry?” I told him, “yes” because I didn’t want him to feel ripped off from paying for three hours when our appointment would only total one hour without dinner. He said, “okay”. I could see all over his face that he was not interested in spending anymore time with me (post-nut clarity).

I went into the bathroom to clean up and tried to figure out how to let him know that it was okay for us to not have dinner since he was clearly feeling bad about skipping it. Maybe he felt guilty because he thought I was looking forward to dinner but dinner is not payment for me. Dinner is just food. Dinner is not cash. I would rather skip dinner and be on my merry way back home.

I emerged from the bathroom and let him know that he needn’t feel bad about wanting to be alone and I think he took it well. He felt so bad about jilting me on dinner… Sir… I have a 90 minute drive to get back home, it’s raining, and you’re paying me for three hours of work that only took an hour… OF COURSE I WANT TO LEAVE YOU!!!

Cricket emailed me to tell me that he booked a “dark and cozy” restaurant this time. This is the second time he’s mentioned “dark and cozy”. I think he has a fantasy about dining out in a romantic, dimly lit restaurant. It’s kind of cute.

I’ve been taking advice from other sex worker / leveling up posts and I didn’t want to sell myself short so I told him that the distance would need to be compensated for. I’m glad I did that. In the past, I wouldn’t have had enough confidence to add the extra fee. I would have been scared of rejection. But you really do have to make your standards known and be fearless. Good things can happen.

Sex worker Tumblr has really taught me to have more confidence and to “raise my price” (both literally and figuratively).

I just drafted a “thank you” email to yesterday’s dinner date client, Mr. Cricket. We talked about cricket during dinner so I skimmed through a few videos of the World Cup games for 2024 to get a sense of what the big deal was. I made sure to include a note about my findings in the email. You know - pretend to be interested in what the client is interested in, blah-blah-blah.

The “social date” from earlier ended up turning into a three-hour appointment. The client said he wanted to leave open the option to go back to his hotel after dinner.

However, I should have told him that it wouldn’t be two separate fees (social rate plus my hourly rate): I should have told him that if he decided to go back to his hotel, he would end up paying my regular three-hour rate. By the time I realized my error, I had already told him I would charge him for the hour after the dinner if he decided.

I thought maybe the client actually was trying to get around paying my three hour dinner date rate. But I think he was sincerely creating an option that would allow him to bail if he decided he wasn’t attracted to me once we met (I’m a face-in provider).

When I arrived for dinner, the face card did not decline (😌) and he was very pleased with what he saw. He asked if I was okay to go back to his hotel.

Conversation during dinner was great. We talked about climate change, sports, yoga. I told him my conspiracy theory about how all major sporting events are fixed and I think he enjoyed hearing that. He tried to debunk my theory when it came to cricket, though (his favorite sport).

He ended dinner at the one-hour mark (probably because he was horny) and he drove me to my car. Before I got out of his car, he gave me a sloppy kiss (he was ready to make out). I told him we needed to move along and we drove to his hotel separately.

I was pleasantly surprised that he had my ninety-minute rate waiting in cash for me at the hotel (🥳). I thought he only wanted an hour. And glory be to God, that horrible sex only took 45 minutes! Like all the other clients over 45 years of age, he couldn’t stay hard.

Anyway, I left after that. Before I left, he asked if I had a favorite restaurant. I told him about a high end steakhouse north of the city and he said he would take me there on his next trip into the town (he lives out of state but visits on business every two or three weeks). That dinner date would be dope because this steakhouse is the sht. Food is good and the setting is formal.

I’m home now, I’ve showered and washed all the client saliva and sweat off my body and removed the toxic nail polish from my toes (usual after-work cleansing routine).

Today was a great day. Last month, I raised my goal by $3K for the month of July and, at this rate, I will actually reach July’s goal. I need to start bookkeeping for this business.

I only wish that I could properly enjoy this money instead of spending it on necessary monthly expenses. Half the house doesn’t have consistent electricity and the AC is broken.
