Yeah you can always fib a bit and say you’re in a relationship so it has to remain strictly therapeutic. Unless of course you want the HE now and say nothing. But who knows maybe he wouldn’t try the HE again.
If you spend some of your time massaging him do you get a discount? Maybe it should be a double discount because he is both not massaging you and receiving a massage for free at the same time.
I would bet that the vast majority of his clients have paid different rates to different providers. I also think it’s kinda weird he was monitoring your reviews of other providers and that’s how he found out you paid more to someone else.
