What Did I say Wrong

And... it was a joke.

 

And quite a funny joke at that. At least it made me laugh. Not a hard task when I've only slept 2 of the last 40 hours; so perhaps my judgment is impaired.

I can't thank all of you enough for responding and providing encouraging comments. I did respond to the young man with an apology but feel bad if he thinks I'm some sort of evil person. Unfortunately as you might be aware it's difficult to find escorts in this area so someone who appears to be a class act is always welcome. I thank you all again and will move on to others. best, rocky

 

Rocky -- I sympathize with you. I found myself in a similar position with an escort several weeks ago when he took offense to my use of the phrase "just to be clear." I apologized but the escort didn't respond to me for a long time. In the meantime, I started a thread to ask others if I was out of line (like you did here). Many posters (both clients and escorts) assured me that I had done nothing wrong, and I think you are in the same boat. You meant no offense, and when you learned the escort was insulted, you apologized. I eventually got a message back from the escort telling me there was no need to apologize because I had done nothing wrong (when I say eventually, I think it was a few weeks after the fact).

 

If you're really interested in this guy, I don't think his response is a deal breaker. His taking offense at one comment doesn't necessarily mean he is hyper-sensitive. It's more likely that he was having a bad day or that the word "used" has a special significance (with a negative connotation) to him for whatever reason. If he doesn't respond to you, you may never know. And if that's the case, get over it and move on knowing that you did nothing wrong.
