And speaking of honesty...
I have a profile on DIA which is 'diplomatically honest', i.e. I say that I am not seeking a serious GF at this time, but rather some 'romance, physical passion and intimate friendship. However, I am open to meeting the gal of my dreams here who will sweep me off my feet'.
So, a few days ago I make contact with a DIA gal who looks quite pretty and has the usual fairly generic profile listing a high school education and nothing filled in for occupation. She also looks quite pretty in her photo.
After a few exchanged messages, I ask if she would like to meet sometime soon for a coffee. She immediately replies with 'I'm free tonight' (last night). I wasn't free, so I suggest tonight, to which she immediately replies, 'OK' and includes her CP number. She seems eager!
So, around noon today, I text her to confirm if she still wants to meet up this eve. She replies, 'Yes', so I arrange for her to meet me at 7:30 at Greenbelt. All is well.
Then around 5pm I get a text from her, 'Can I ask you something?' I reply back, 'sure', thinking that it is either going to be that she wants to bring a friend/cousin/aunt/sister/gay friend with her when she meets me, or she wants to make sure I will pay her taxi fare (which I always do when I meet a gal in the center of town).
So I am quite surprised when I read 'u know I have only 200 peso in my pocket to go there... i dont want to waste money, am just want to tel u i am selling my body to u. this is my first time i am doing this, first time to go to greenbelt. i need money this time, i want to going back in dubai where place i have work. i dont have work here... hope u understand'
Hmmmm, well at least she is being honest (except perhaps for the part about the first time she is doing this!). Not sure how to respond to that, so I tell her I understand her situation and I ask her how much she expects to get from me. I also ask her to send me a few recent pics to my email because I have been disappointed a few times in meeting DIA gals who do not look like their profile photo. I also say that I am only interested in her offer if she is very slim and attractive. Yep, i figure at this point, honesty is the best policy!
So she replies that she will send a few pics in a few minutes, and that she wants... wait for it... $100.
I giggle as I read that, and then wait for the pics. The pics arrive in my yahoo a few minutes later and indeed she is cute, but nowhere near $100 cute. I text her back and tell her she is being unrealistic coz $100 is what professional escorts get and any guy can go into LA Cafe and walk out with a lovely gal for 2000 pesos for the whole night.
She then gets back to me to say '4 u 3000 pesos ok... how much can u give me?'
I go back and look at her pics and decide that though she does look rather sweet, the moment of interest for me is passing and I really don't want to haggle with her about money. So I text her back with apologies that I'm afraid I must cancel the date and I hope she can find another guy to help her get back to Dubai.
So now I am scrolling through my CP phone book to find a replacement date for this eve!

Hi Manta. Good to see you back here.
I agree that getting caught up in the haggle over price is a "passion-killer" for me too.
I had a terrible experience recently that annoyed me intensely. I have been meeting a girl quite regularly for fun only and have been paying her a fixed price and she knows that is fixed. She usually texts me asking to meet so I know when she is hard-up for cash.
She arrived as usual and after the usual chit chat and the preliminaries we got down to business. It was full-on no holds barred foreplay and the anaconda was desperately seeking a nice moist dark hole to crawl into. I reached for the muzzle to slip over his head and got a "Honey, can you please give me extra money today because of .x...y...z ...."
Now I was NOT interested in discussing this topic right at this CRITICAL point, and I said "later later". She kept on about how she needed extra and it was too much for me. I rolled off, condom still in the wrapper, and told her to get dressed and go and not to call me any more.
She was shocked, dismayed, started to cry etc etc and genuinely could not understand why I was so annoyed/frustrated/pissed off.
It was a clear, stark reminder to me that no matter how much a working girl seems to like the sex and how much she seems to be "into it" they really are usually only acting in order to earn cash and for her to mention extra money right at the "height of passion" showed me that she was just acting out a performance.
So Manta ..... I have had several experiences very similar to yours that ended up in me pulling the plug (so to speak) but at different stages of the process. You got in early so you never had the annoying finale that I endured.
