Was curious if anyone has ever dated a provider? Yes i have heard the warnings, and from experience, I know they are true. Fortunately, at the time i was just dating around and not expecting anything serious. My experience is that it started off well, even meeting close friends, but after several meetings the “charm/novelty/excitement” quickly faded and we had nothing to talk about. A normal relationship could not be established. I would talk about my day and the provider understandably would be mute on happenings during their day. Also, i went from pay to play, to almost being friend zoned. Like sex for them was a job and i was just getting conversation about struggles and life back home. For reference, i dated 4 providers ranging 20-39. (Chinese, Korean, Filipina and Japanese). Also, one girl said that I could no longer go to these places (despite her job), but would give it to me for free when on personal time. Was a wonderful bucket list experience, but now i am curious about hearing other experiences and perspectives?
