Running into an Escort in Public

[dcguy20]

I live in DC, and ran into one of my DC hires checking into the same NYC hotel at the same time. As we were both alone, we had a nice but brief chat.

 

@hypothetically what are the chances of your experience happening?!

@poolboy48220 good thing we Americans are not nosy. A simple “we have friends in common” is enough

We Americans, at least the ones I know, are too nosy to leave it at we have friends in common. The very first question will always be, "What friend?"

True story: about 4 years ago, I saw an escort I met with 4 times waiting tables at a restaurant as I walked in with friends. My palms became a bit clammy fearing embarrassment if he was our server and I hoped we would get another waiter. Well, of course he was our waiter and neither of us made any gestures or face talk to indicate we knew each other. The thing is the last time I saw him was the previous weekend so I know for sure he recognized me so he played it cool. We had our dinner and he was professional. I visited the restroom at the end of the meal and he walked in not long behind me. He went in for a hot tongue kiss, grabbed my hand and put it on his crotch, smiled and said “see you soon” and walked out. Haha. He did look hot in his waiter uniform that’s for sure.

I spent a very pleasant evening with a new hire once, with lots of great conversation afterward. The next morning I happened to run into him on a city street corner, and when I said hello, he looked startled, barely acknowledged my greeting, and quickly walked in the opposite direction.

 

The most awkward situation, however, was when I hired someone who I thought was new, and when he opened his door, I recognized him as someone I had hired before. When I said so, he insisted we had never met. A couple of years later, in another city, it happened again, so this time I pretended I didn't recognize him, and he did the same. The sex was outstanding.

Perfect!

An Uber driver I had hired a few weeks prior dropped me off at the hotel where we met a few months ago. I recognized him immediately but didn’t say anything, just making small talk. As we started to pull into the hotel driveway I asked if it was possible we had met before. He looked at me for more than a glance and he sort of shrugged “Oh, hey”. During the ride I’d been seriously thinking about asking him in for a repeat but he didn’t seem anxious to engage in any conversation.

 

How I would react if I ran into someone in public depends on how close we are and my immediate read of how he feels. There are guys I would hug and guys i would ignore. And if he was with anyone I would default to ignore.

Sometimes escorts don't recognize someone who hired them...

It happens occasionally, small little world we inhabit, no biggie. What's funny is to be with a newbie or downlow provider and watch him panic when he runs into a friend while he's with me. That's happened, and I've had to calm a companion down more than once on such occasions. Good thing that they were in the presence of a seasoned pro.

Totally depends on the gent.

• The first time I unexpectedly (in an airport) crossed paths with someone I had hired, the gent didn't seem to notice let alone recognize me.
  
• The next time, it was in a busy casual restaurant with nearly all the tables occupied but open seats available at the table where I was sitting. I noticed that a duo I had met with had their food and were looking for a place to sit. As I shifted my things to indicate that the seats at my table were open, one of the pair seemed to recognize me. He whispered something to his partner, who glanced quickly at me. They stopped looking for a place to sit and took their food to go. It made me a bit sad as it happened but I totally understood.
  
• Another time it wasn't unexpected but was a situation where I had arranged for the gent I had seen the previous night to also see the show I was seeing. When I arrived to the theatre, I unexpectedly bumped into a group of friends. As the gent approached, I stepped away from my friends to greet him as I would any friend and I gave him his ticket and then returned to chatting with my non-pro friends. I don't know that I even offered an explanation about the gent.
  

But, yeah, always follow the gent's lead...

Admin Note: Try not to include any information that might identify the escort.

Several years ago I had a regular who was an actor and had had a number of roles in the daytime soaps. He didn't want to be seen in public with older men thus he would drive out to my place and I cooked dinner for us. He lived in the Hollywood hills. On one occasion I happened to be in that part of town to go to the movies. There was a very nice gym next to the theater. As I parked my car in the underground parking lot who should get out of the car next to me but my regular. He was dressed for the gym. We were both quite surprised but since we were alone we smiled and he said see you soon.

He retired from escorting several years ago and damn do I miss him. He was the most FUN guy with whom I ever had sex - he absolutely reveled in man to man sex.

As long as you're well-insured and refused to be breathalyzed, I think you'll be fine.

 

... Wait a sec

 

I thought you said running over an escort in public.

[+ poolboy48220]

not quite in keeping with the topic, but a friend (more of an acquaintance) had a blind date at the bar we hung out at, I thought the guy was pretty cute. A few months later, I hired a guy sight unseen, from an ad in the back of the bar rag, and it turned out to be the blind date. We had a long hiring, and later FB, relationship.

[MassageDrew]

I always say we worked with each other from a previous company if anyone else asked how we knew each other. If they asked more questions then they're just nosy bitches.

[RomanticRick]

Has happened a couple of times, the more interesting encounters being :-

1. Had met (let's call him) X exactly once. At work, X showed up one day as the new employee. Deer in headlights look on both faces. Quite amusing now to think back, but was terrified then. Needless to say, never met X again.

2. Had met Y at least a couple of times. At wedding reception of best friend, Y showed up as the new boyfriend of the bride's best friend. The fact of being acquainted already became apparent to others. Deer in the headlights again. But Y was unfazed, spun a yarn about the circumstances of the pre-acquaintance at the car dealership, place of Y's day job ostensibly.

I love these stories; they demonstrate the smallness of our worlds! I think I mentioned in a similar thread that I had seen a then-well known provider several times; years later, he shows up at a lecture I was attending; we nodded and went our separate ways

Slim to none but you neverrrr know.

Of course not! We have our clothes on and are flaccid:)

I’ve had it happen more than a few times. Reactions have

run the gambit. Younger ones tend to panic. Older ones

tend to laugh it off.

 

A polite smile is perfect.

 

Less and you risk a full Glenn Close encounter.

”I will not be IGNORED!”

(Yes, that happened)

 

More and you risk friends/lovers having too many questions.

 

I’ve never understood the panic some escorts (and Grindr

hook ups for that matter) seem to experience. Just brush off

prying questions with:

 

<Bored Tone>

“We met at a party last week.”

“He’s a nice guy.”

There are tons of people I know from the gym or from taking the same train that I recognize by face but don't actually know their name. Recognizing someone doesn't mean anything, just nod hello and move on.

Grindr too... as I posted before, sometimes escorts don't recognize clients.

 

Let's see if @poolboy48220 and @Islesguy's friends would buy your answer "I don't know from where I know him".

The cross-examination that statement would bring would never end until the truth was exposed.

2x in the airport! We both played it very well and both encounters were not Awkward.

[+ poolboy48220]

I'd swear I saw Alex Ward at the gates in the Kansas City airport about a year ago. We hadn't met yet, so no recognition per se.

[+ TylerandAce]

As a reverse, I ran into a client as a flight attendant the day after our appointment. Knowing glances and a brush or two during the flight was kinda exhilarating.
