ORIGINAL: InTonguesslut quote:
Is it fair to say that only you had been set up to fail by the guy you met? Wasn't your expectation that the meet would be a walk in the park as the guy wanted nothing i wasn't capable of were obviously way off a way of setting the guy you met up to fail? Interesting, in that i have never once suggested the guy failed in any way. I suggested that i felt i had failed at one point, but realised that the expectations the guy and myself had had were too high. I would pretty much say that that means both of us had responsibilty to take in the disaster that ensued. No disagreement with the second part of your statement here...his expectations were too high and based on his feelings that you "were his fantasy girl". When the fantasy did not turn out as he'd hoped, he tried to make it so by pushing you beyond set limits. That is a failure on his part just as your inability to take his "emotional investment" in you into account beforehand was a failure on your part. He set you up to fail him emotionally and you set him up to fail by expecting him to be able to keep it all on a "business" level. I have not used a pro-submissive before so I am not sure what a person's money buys. I haven't used prostitutes or call girls either but I know that the difference in the rate they charge is also reflected in the level of service a client gets...from the street prostitute, he gets a straight sexual service whereas from the call girl, he expects to be treated almost as a date, if not better, with a level of interest shown in the client and an adroit handling of his emotional needs as well as physical needs. quote:
And yet, the guy your Sir chooses for you to meet is this same guy. Nice assumption.The guy approached as a client and i accepted him. Sir was always in the loop as in being informed of the details etc but he did not choose the client.My bad. From the OP, I assumed...as it appears others did...that your Sir was approached for the "lending out" of you rather than this being a business transaction. quote:
As subangi noted, for the gentleman to keep writing in a manner that allows you to be able to say he was getting no "joy" from your responses indicates that he was emotionally invested on some level...right or wrong...and that you gave short shrift to thoughts of that. As i said before hindsight it a wonderful thing. Rightly or wrongly i assumed he was capable of seeing a business transaction for what it was, a business transaction.Hindsight IS a wonderful thing though I find it ironic that someone who is well-aware of the damage emotional underpinnings can cause and the "wonderful" way they can come into play at the most inconvenient times would not have at least considered this aspect with this specific gentleman. quote:
but knowing that you were not feeling anything towards him emotionally that resembled what he felt towards you while still agreeing to service him certainly was, at the least, a mixed signal of sorts wasn't it? No i don't think i gave mixed signals. The meet was a business transaction nothing more. He was perfectly aware of what he was paying me for and what he was not. I cannot be held responsible for his fantasies.You've stated that the meet was a business transaction, nothing more a few times now...while also stating that it turned out to be a disaster for reasons that were motivated by factors that had nothing to do with business. As I also stated in MY post, you are not responsible for his feelings/fantasies ESPECIALLY when you have not done anything to feed into them. Not being responsible is not the same thing as being aware though, is it? And you yourself noted, while not going into detail, that his mail over the last three years was at a different level than someone seeing you just as a friend. That does not take away from his own irresponsible behavior. quote:
Did that not, in fact, help to set him up to fail at least on some level? Again i have never implied he failed. Again in hindsight if i had known he was incapable of keeping a business transaction a business transaction i would have never agreed to meet.But you have, misst. When you declared the meet a disaster and then go on to say that he failed at keeping a business transaction, you are stating he failed. When you state that his expectations for you were too high, that is a failure on his part...not yours. Call me crazy but i assumed two adults conducting business would be just that. In this case i was wrong and i have certainly learnt from it and will not be repeating the mistake. Two adults conducting business generally do not have an emotional investment of any nature in the people they are conducting business with. That was one reason why my ex-wife was not a part of my practice in any way, shape or form.
