Really? That’s pretty ballsy, not to mention rude.

I agree. That said, am I the only one who delights in the juxtaposition of the ascension of the Christian God’s son and the day named after a Pagan god and a Roman god?

A few thoughts: People are typically too polite to ask, the exception being when getting to know a potential playmate or romantic partner where the information is relevant to the relationship. I don’t believe in the concept of “[fill in the blank] acting.” When some one is simply themselves there is no acting required. I don’t know what you mean by pretend not to be gay. Aside from the gender to which they are attracted, gay and straight men pretty much do the same spectrum of activities. When I first came out I experienced one of the two following reactions: 1) Oh, that’s nice. Thank you for sharing. How do you feel about this? 2) Really? Wouldn’t have guessed. It wasn’t hard for me, it was simply a matter of me being out to myself and being ready to share this with others. I think you mean “...who people think or perceive are gay.” The only one who knows is the individual himself. Others presume or assume or, once someone comes out to them, take the new-found knowledge at face value. To answer your original question, there is no universal answer. It truly depends on the individual.

I think a handshake is fine.

While we are at it, let’s move it to a Saturday in late May when the weather is nicer.

A very enjoyable tradition! Wonder how many residents of certain areas of our fine land take this seriously?

Don’t know, either. I hired him as an escort.

True, but you make up for it by staying in your apartment.

If they are THAT concerned they would update the signature card. That has been the norm for years.

I'm surprised they checked the signature card if it was signed that long ago. You could sign a new one. Well, the various charities fill that need. I must get a dozen in the mail. Turns into recycle bin food.

Signatures tend to change over time. If I may ask, how long since you signed your signature card?

What happens in the Midlands, Scotland and Wales stays in the Midlands, Scotland and Wales.

In a written format some suggestions and pointers can come off as being criticism. Based on my read and based on knowing many of the posters' styles for several years, it seems like everyone was trying to help by suggesting techniques for avoiding an escort ending a session early and, when it does occur, how to avoid a financial loss. The key phrase is "it was at your direction." This time, the guy should not have ended the session. Bad on him. One last thought: Write a review and in that review mention what you told us here.

I would not even have considered the origin to be the four cardinal directions. I mean, what about stuff that happens in the Southwest? Northeast? Midwest? The various panhandles?

The fun appears to be over. Ad's gone.

@Rod Hagen offers both massage and escort services. Might want to reach out to him.

It is difficult to believe that there are escorts who do not have regulars, but it is also bad news to make assumptions. It is also bad news to be thinking about being a regular and what that could mean before you even met a guy. The definition of being a regular client of any service provider is hiring them time and time again. How else can one become a regular?

A few things to consider for future meets: There is always a possibility that you will be, ahem, "finished" in a hour or less. When booking, schedule for an hour with the option to extend to two "if we are both having so much fun we just have to keep going." Do not leave the fee on a table, dresser, etc. Keep it in an envelope in your pocket. You can also put the first hour's fee in one envelope, the second hour's fee in another and combine if necessary. Ask him to stay for the full hour agreed-upon time. Ask him what the fee is for the time spent. (Works better if the fee is not laying out in the open.) One last suggestion: Write a review and state that he did not stay the full two hours despite having pocketed the entire fee. EDIT: Changed "hour" to "agreed-upon time."

You said it, buster boy, not me! You would loooooooove an apartment I rented from Pearl Associates back in the 1990's. They made sure the steam heat and hot water were CRANKED! During a cold snap every other building in Evanston was without heat except for my building. As always, I had a window open. When I asked one of the Pearls why the heat was so high he said that he and his wife lived in one of their dad's buildings when they were newlyweds and the apartments were always cold. So they resolved that their tenants would never be cold when he and his brother took over the firm.

You've reached your limit for today. Have a great Sunday and see ya tomorrow.

I'd argue that the Catholic Church has very little influence on American politics, much like in Italy. Other sects, however...

I see them here and there in Phoenix, but in my former San Diego neighborhood they really took off. Some streets had two per block.

Or a red state that allows medical marijuana, like Arizona. In regards to the original question, I kill cactus. An air fern would probably die from neglect. However, I do have a talent at growing bamboo. I have a plant at work that has grown to be just shy of four feet tall.

This poll reminds me of a couple wherein one guy liked bicycling and the other did not. The guy who liked it was pissed that his partner didn't and stopped cycling. His partner encouraged him to keep doing what he liked with his friends who also enjoyed it (such as me) and they would do other things together.
