Guide
Building a Recurring Relationship with a Regular Provider
The best client experience is usually with a multi-year regular provider. This guide covers how to get there.
The early stage (sessions 1–5)
Be punctual, polite, generous-tipped, low-drama. Don't demand intimacy that hasn't developed yet. Don't test boundaries. Don't push for personal details. Communicate clearly about what works for you.
Mid-stage (sessions 6–20)
Provider may begin remembering preferences, anticipating needs, sharing more personal details organically. Don't mistake this for romance. Don't propose. Don't suggest exclusivity.
Long-term (years)
True regulars — providers who've seen you for 3+ years — often become genuine friendships layered with the work relationship. Maintain professional payment + tipping. Don't crowd. Respect hard limits (no personal phone, no social media, no off-the-clock).
Compensation discipline
Always pay full rate. Never negotiate down once established. Tip well at sessions and on birthdays/holidays. Bring small thoughtful gifts at meaningful intervals.
