You have to walk away and not see the person; don't think that you can still see them if the crush is developing and you can control it. You can't. You can't control your feelings, but you can control if you reach out to see the person. I wish I had the answer, but I think it just takes time for crushes to go away. It's not easy, that's for sure.

such a tough situation. I knew a guy who fell for his massage therapist; I implored him to keep it professional and my friend would actually do that, but the more he did the therapist kept clouding things, giving my friend, as Debbie on Queer as Folk said about Brian and Michael, 'extra little tidbits of your affection - just enough so that he'll think maybe someday...' It's a cruel thing to do to another person.

thank you!

Just good? Reminds me of that Will & Grace exchange when Grace asks Will how her outfit looks. "Fine." "Fine means good." "It's good." "Good means crap." "Well, if fine means good and good means crap then does crap mean fine?" (I think that's how it went.)

maybe add a city to your title so people click on it? Ironically, though, I'm also curious about finding a great massage in LA. A lot of reviews have been meh lately.

Ditto.

geez is it so hard to find a guy who's 6'2" 210 and will give you a strong massage and make you feel safe and allow you to zone out for an hour to escape the crazy world around us all.

ah, that sucks! I know the owner spent a lot of money helping his little dog recover from a horrific attack from a bigger dog (I want to say the breed, but I can't recall it for sure). The dog was injured. The owner was injured freeing his beloved pup from the other dog's grip. I hope they're okay. The owner guy is a hot daddy. I got a totally legit massage there from him one time. I think he knew I was kind of tense throughout (I was) and when it was over with the sheet still on me he kinda smacked my butt like a coach would hit a player's behind after a great play, and it got me out of my head which I really needed.

I never had luck there with that. but the staff was great and by the staff I mean the people who worked there.

lack of business, I'm presuming; I used to pop in every now and then. Sergi was great. I got the impression the last few times that business was really down. A shame. Nice people and good service.

Yes, sexy affectionate ambience is enough. more than enough. geez. just my type. 28. I remember when I thought that was getting old.

you came to this forum for a reason. you know what you should do. listen to your gut.

so what'll happen if all the massage sites go down? will it be veiled ads on social media dating apps?

so my favorite massage therapist who used to work out of his apartment starts telling me he's working out of a spa. I went and had a massage. But the whole time I'm thinking the police are going to barge in and I'm calling that one friend we hopefully all have to bail me out. I don't want to lose the guy (he's really good), but there's that risk.

good catch @LAdude424 - 'rugby' is an indicator.

thanks

I also got a pass to BW after going to an event in Hollywood. It's just a pass to the Spa, doesn't include a massage.

yikes; you just never know. On the outside he appeared to be attractive; but those new photos and the other stories in this thread....I dodged a bullet.

my apologies; I just assumed someone with only one review wouldn't have a thread about him; next time, I'll check. the threads were informative; ty

Viking Buddy - Coverboy Feb. 2 looks really really hot. He looks a little older than mid 20s. Reviewer mentioned spanking. Does anyone else have intel on him? (There's hot spanking when they know how to gauge your limits and then there's 'damn, that hurt too much' spanking.) https://rent.men/vikingbuddy

I'm sorry that happened to you Gymowner. Giving your trust to someone you've been intimate with and having that trust broken sucks beyond words. I have many fantasies -- the most far-reaching one is that I meet someone I can really trust.

I'm looking for something really nurturing; lots of TLC. AND therapeutic. HE isn't even tops on my list; just a great massage where you feel relaxed.

too bad; it seems to be very difficult to find a four handed massage in LA. I used to have a guy who didn't break contact from the beginning of the massage to the end....if he had to reach for something it was never far way and he'd make sure his hand was on me the whole time. It really created a connection. But if these guys are leaving to go to the kitchen or wherever to get stuff -- even for the massage -- I'll pass. Too bad, they seem nice.

is that a cat he has? I'm allergic; did anyone notice a strong cat presence? otherwise, I'd like to try him sometime.

I was driving in Hollywood yesterday near where Alex and/or Roman live and saw Alex or Roman, walking along with a woman; they were holding hands. I think he spotted me as a past client. I wonder how often things like that happen for him? He looked terrific.
