I have had "special" relationships with a number of WLs

Almost like Boyfriend / Girlfriend.

It involved a number of meetings and activities away from their places of work.

Often we would go to hotels or motels.

I always provided food and drinks and paid for the accommodation.

I usually offered the Lady some money but they always refused to take it, because of our relationship.

They were all great times, some are still continuing ??

I do the right thing by the Ladies' work places by still seeing them there.

I had this type of arrangement with another WL.

She was keen for us to spend more time together on her day off work, so I booked a hotel.
We were there from approximately 11:00 am until about 4:00 pm. About 5 hours.

When we were getting ready to leave I offered her some money. She did not say "No"
I started slowly peeling off $50:00 bills, expecting her to say "that's enough" she did not.

When I reached $500:00 I stopped.
She said thanks and picked up the money.

I still see her sometimes and she has asked to me to book a hotel again.
I have made excuses not to do this.

My disappointment was not about the money, ($500:00 for 5 hours is great value), It was more the fact that she acted like a WL.

The next time that she asks, I guess that I should ask her if she wants to go to the Hotel as my "girlfriend" or as a WL.

That would clarify the situation.

Lesson Learned ???
