Not speaking for him, but many times, it just happens. It's a comfort thing, I guess. I know we all like to claim it is strictly a transaction with a lot of acting, but sometimes the company is enjoyed.
I had an independent that got pretty popular in a short time. Saw her 3-4 times. The last time was for an hour and she invited me to stay the night in the hotel. After that, she would come to my place the night before she was going to work in the area a couple times a month. She was in it to get capital to start her business on a good foundation, so we used to discuss business, single parenting, plenty of other stuff, and do all the expected stuff too. Now, she's operating her business and off the market, and we still connect every now and then. But the financial side of the hobby relationship definitely became secondary.
