Thank you. I guess I should realize that for them it is likely only about the benjamin$ and just try to enjoy what I am paying for.

Should I be concerned about a provider who has lied about his reason for being late, shaved a few years off his age, or modified some details about his background, but otherwise provided a good experience? While I think that each of us is entitled to a little bit of reinvention as life progresses, and in this case I assume the lies were designed to help build my positive impression of him, I am more concerned about the untruths around the delay/logistics of our meeting. In other aspects of my life, I have followed the principle that if someone is deceptive about small things, chances are they will be deceptive about the big or important things, too. Should that standard apply here when, if you actually think about it, the whole transaction is based upon a sort of deception? Nonetheless, I think that I have to be able to trust a provider, a stranger whom I have literally invited into an intimate space of my life, and the little white lies worry me, even when the overall experience was good. How should I respond?

Does a good connection during a boyfriend experience have to have any basis in reality or are good providers just good actors involved in a monetary transaction? Should I even care whether he is acting? I’m newer at this and don’t want to appear foolish.
