You're not intruding at all and I appreciate your response! I'm genuinely curious what part of my post seemed to raise a red or orange flag. I'm especially interested in what part seemed to push boundaries, since I am ALL about boundaries. I don't ever want to do that, in person or in anticipation of a date. Many Indies offer social time, and I've done that--an hour in the hotel bar, two hours upstairs. If I'm using an agency, I just tell the booker that I like a woman who speaks English and enjoys talking; that's it, and I hope for the best. I'm not sure what it sounds like I'm after but it's really a couple glasses of wine and some smart conversation and laughter, along with the physical fun (!). I agree that "chemistry," whatever that means, may take a few dates. I think, though, I mean something else: two adults, respecting each other's privacy, shooting the shit and having some fun. And most of the time in Montreal that happens!
I hope this doesn't sound rude but I keep my expectations in check with agencies. It's different for me, though, with indies. I don't indulge as often as many men out here do, and I only book 2-3 hour dates. I can afford (in every sense) a meh experience with an agency girl, but it's a bigger investment with an indy.
I see that Sylar responded and YES, ABSOLUTELY, I'm talking about paying for a professional experience. I would never cross the line and suggest anything more. I actually prefer my personal/social life and my hobby life to be separate.
