If she doesn't feel the same..... quit your job, sell everything you own, move to another planet and try starting life again.

The easiest way to get over this is to continue spending unlimited amounts of cash on her and do everything that she desires you to do until she eventually tells you that you and her are only friends. Then find a new ML, fall in love with her, spend unlimited amounts of cash on her and do everything that she desires you to do until she eventually tells you that you and her are only friends. Then find a new ML, fall in love with her, spend unlimited amounts of cash on her and do everything that she desires you to do until she eventually tells you that you and her are only friends.

By that stage you will have run out of cash or you will be dead.

We have all been there.
Step 1 - Do you see her out of the shop?
If yes, go to step 2
If No, Its an illusion. She probably does the same with most guys. Stop seeing her or accept what her job is

Step 2 -:Are you paying her out of the shop?
If No, go to step 3
If Yes, its an illusion. Sure she likes you more than most, but you are still a customer. Accept that or move on

Step 3 - Will she stop working to be with you?
If No, just imagine the oldest, fattest, smelliest ugly guys doing what you do to her, but for half the price. If you still love her seek help or stop seeing her
If Yes, look at the No answer above, Can you live with a woman who did this for money? What if things get tight? Do you think she trusts a guy who goes to massage shops?

Good luck

Where are you at in my step by step program?
If you think you are special in the shop, revel in the moment, play the game back at her and forget about her when you walk out the door. The next guy is likely getting the same treatment as you. It’s her job.
Easier said than done. I’m currently in love with 4 mls :startle:

If you're enjoying the moment ... stay with it and enjoy while you can.
Careful what you anticipate and expect. The higher your anticipations ... I suspect the harder the fall.

If I were you and your feelings are genuine, I'd talk to her about it and ask her help.
Possibly she may not have the same depth of feelings and can guide you back into "friends with benefits"
That's still a good place to be.

Why does she need to stop working? If you like her now, you should like her still if she continues working and something happens between you. Get to know the real woman and not just the ML and if she's awesome enough and that something happens, you get to keep the real woman while others get to play with just the ML.

Not all MLs are tortured into the job and trafficked like Spaceman suggests and don't need rescuing.

Is it love or lust? Do you think of her non sexually/physically? Based on your reply you already see her outside of the shop freely. That's a good start. Has she stopped, skipped work or reduced her hours because of how she feels about you? Better. Do you sit in your car waiting for her to finish work or message her waiting for her to reply to you between customers? Creepy.
Think of the changes that will affect the both of you. Would you proudly intruduce her to your family and friends? Will you be embarrassed if you both were at dinner ran into her customer?
Would you move interstate/overseas to give her a fresh start?

iamking

In writing this, I am seeing an ex ML, who worked for a short time and left the industry on her own accord. Ran into her outside by accident.
The girl has to make changes for herself not you and you need to accept her, not hide her or force her.
The risks are high if she changes for you. She will depend on you (you may be happy to spend money) but psycholgically it can be damaging for her, to be reliant on you.
People may see her as a gold digger, in reverse she may see you as a controller (Domestic violence can relate to money, control, isolation, even if you don't see it that way). But this may be way to heavy for your question.

I absolutely agree with The Professor's comments. Snap out of it. You will only get hurt and yes she says the same thing to all her clients.
I've had ML from 5 star resorts wanted to take things outside after 2-3 sessions, sounds genuine but I know it is all a facade. Just enjoy your session and move on.
Invest the time to meet "keepers" elsewhere, after that, if variety is what you want, then punt in secret. ML/WL are street wise, your heart will be broken.

It takes a special kind of man to love a woman knowing she has sex with other dudes or at least touches their dicks. At some stage there is an imbalance in the relationship.
If you have an ounce of jealousy, it won’t work. It’s an intimate environment.
Every case has it’s own set of circumstances and personalities involved though so all rules are meant to be broken.

It works better when they stop working however.

If merlin is already at step3, he is doing better than 90% of punters.

Agree wholeheartedly with Prof - listen to the old fart - he knows his shit. Was in a SEA country once and this 22 year old sweet farm girl would do anything and I mean anything for me. Her favourite phrase was I want to have your baby. I went there twice but knew I had to let it go for her good and mine. Both punters and ML should understand what the massage game is all about, short term pleasure. When you get older you will look back and know you made the right decision.

If you want to meet a HAB go to Sunnybank regularly for a coffee and lunch and try to strike up a conversation ot two (although I am sure a lot of the local girls are wise to these tactics from Aussie guys who have a thing for Asian girls haha). I live on the Gold Coast and I went there a while ago out of curiosity as I'd never been there before and bloody hell there were some cuties walking around. Had a nice lunch at a place in the shopping centre near the cinemas and the girl serving me was lovely. If I lived closer I would be there all the time for the Asian food options and the girls of course.

Yep. Usually relationships end how they begin. If you stole your girl from another guy, she'll cheat on you eventually and move up. If it was financial at the start, you'll get divorce raped if youre dumb enough to marry her. If you were friends first, more likely the relationship will end on good terms. etc

Maybe think of it like this - what is the chances it may work ? Lets be really really optimistic - lets say 15%.
Now ask yourself if before hopping on a plane you knew it would land safely only 15% of the time would you hop on that plane. Fuck No. Now what are the alternatives - find another girl, keep punting and playing, etc etc
Re in practice "isn't there? " "I think" - there are always exceptions to the rule like the guy who smoked all his life and lived to 100.
or
So you started punting a while ago ..... are you never ever in your life going to punt ever again?
Love can be cruel, I have found guys are a lot more sensitive than women. Did you know in the Vietnam War they used to get the female Viet Cong to interrogate the prisoners as they were much more brutal.
But its your life, your money ........best of luck.

It just takes maturity... I know couples that are in open relationships and I know couples that got together when he was a customer and I even know a couple where he knews what she did (she left the biz a long time ago) and he was happy to have her go to work every day knowing her feelings were for him and not the mostly pieces of shit she sees everyday.

IMO, the biggest detractor in a relationship will be you as you will 100 percent punt again

I disagree. I consider myself very prone to jealousy in relationships. But somehow the nature of my girlfriend's work, of which I respectfully compartmentalised as transactional did not affect me at all.

Bit unfair to call a girl "unstable" just because she prioritises a paying punter rather than you. Just means her work comes first and you are second. If you can't accept this then move on

Why would you want to go out with an ml?
Are you looking for free sex? Good luck with that
Do you genuinely like her and want to see if its reciprocated in reality? Again, good luck with that.

There is a reason most are wary of meeting guys outside of shops. Sure you can flash your wallet, but a significant number of us are undateable, crazy or partnered.

'these girls'

i can't imagine why they don't 'progress' with you....

do you need a kleenex?

Agree.
I used to meet up with MLs often, especially my regulars. Meet up for dinner or drinks. Learn to separate the job from the person.
If the girl likes you she (also highly depending on shop owner), shevwill skip work or leavecearly if she really likes you, not just in ut for the money.
Also agree that many MLs don't believe customers, they realise the guyvwants free sex outside, not an actual relationship.
But merlin200, there is some hope.
I have now been seeing an ex ML for a while. Was a short term regular who quit and got a "regular" job. Luckily she stopped working before we reunited.
It took me a while to stop going to shops, but its been worthwhile. Even if things don't work out long term, we both are at least happy and living in the moment.

how long have you not been going to shops?

Phased fown in November and have been MIA since start of December. Actually tried in September and October. Had to change phone numbers and block numbers from shops and MLs to stay in the straight and narrow.
Come on here once in a while to respond to messages, but am actually phasing myself out as well. Luckily this forum isn't the same as it used to be, and COVID has reduced my temptations with less new girls working.
Realised how much money i used to spend on MLs during this time. Since March last year I've saved $20k, even with a couple if hedonistic splurges. Bought my dream bike instead.
Take my girl for rides.
Even if we don't make it, I don't think I'll return to ML shops. If I end up single and have the urge, will go to brothels instead, and save and fly down to Sydney for fun. Its safer, unlike MLs, WLs get tested regularly and need a health certificate to work, and it's legal.
I'm having fun in life and love.
Each to their own.
Always be respectful to the girls.
Happy punting, stay safe.

Good luck

Cheers for this bro I am borderline stage 2 and 3 with a chick at the moment. She is perfect but I’m sure she’s offering similar services to others. Plus she’s thai. Have tried seeing other MLS but I keep going back. After reading this thread I’ve thought up some very nasty images of what other blokes are doing to her so I shall not return

Sorry to hear that bro. We've all done it at some point.

The quickest way to get out of this hole is to share the girls details here (i imagine she is gorgeous right?). You will then know us brothers will get onto her and you will likely to move on quickly.

Cruel but effective!

It is a dangerous game to play which often results in gradually spending more and more money until the bank account or the bubble bursts. I think most mongers have been in this situation at some point. Part of the game somehow.

if your bank account is likely gonna go burst, you probably should just stick with your rent/mortgage payments

trust me after loosing 85% of my wealth to my ex (not including the legal costs), punting is alot cheaper.
The lawyers will shaft you $400+ per hr. At least if the WL/ML does it you MOST of the time you still have a grin on your face
