I'm not falling in love with my regular, but do care for her the same way I do with my friends. She made it clear she will never get into a relationship with a punter that she has met in a shop and would prefer to meet someone outside of the shop. We do hang out outside of the shop like take her dog for a walk, get dinner or just hangout playing games, just like a normal friendship relationship. Outside the shop, we are just normal people living normal lives and never had sex. I mean it's on the cards and we can, but I just appreciate the normality of being friends if that makes sense. Just to make it clear, I don't have feelings for her, but do care about her the same way as I do with my good friends.

I talk about my problems with my work and she tells me her problems with her work/job. I don't know if other punters have a regular who is brutally honest with the way the sex industry is, but god damn, its a eye opener. The saddest thing she told me is that she hates fucking random guys and wants to build a better life for herself which is totally understandable. I know its her choice but she is determined to get out of the industry sooner rather than later.

Look, I can understand the O.P about falling in love with a WL, its a real thing and can happen to all of us. It's very hard to not get attached and if you develop feelings of love, I can certainly understand that.
