[postmortem]

The 59th Rule of Acquisition says that "free advice is seldom cheap", but anyway I've decided to post some thoughts and personal opinions based on my prior relations with my previous SBs.

(i) Always get to know a gal first before committing to monthly payment. An SD/SB relationship is a mutual thing that demands mutual respect.

(ii) Never to bank transfers until you've been with her for a while. And by a while, I mean at least several weeks to a few months.

(iii) Never spend more than what you can afford to lose.

(iv) If you get cheated, write the loss off and move on. Don't harbour ill feelings or negative emotion. Being depressed won't help you get your money back.

(v) Make it clear on the outset what you expect from each other. If she wants you to take her shopping, don't be afraid to place limits and explain how much you're willing to spend on her shopping. This comes back to the "mutual respect" thing. If both of you truly respect each other, she'll understand.

(vi) Many gals want to be SBs because they ran into financial difficulties. You have to prepared that one day they may ask you for help and you have to decide how much you are prepared to help. This comes with the territory.

(vii) If you just want a simple & straightforward sexual transaction, best to stick to FLs/escorts. Having an SB is more like a relationship than just a transaction. Expect and demand mutual respect always.
