Meaghan, I like the way you think. I have done similar things in the past. Good for you.

Welcome! To cerb.. I am a newby here too.

I will answer both Sex in the water (sand can get into some very uncomfortables places) I prefer to lick... Foot massage or back massage?

I say not crazy. I would have said not as well. What happens if/when the relationship ends. Sometimes everything is just fine. But what happens if there are hurt feelings and you have to see each other every day? It is a risk, is it a risk worth losing your job over? Or her losing her job for that matter? Only you can decide.

I have to honestly say, from a physical appearance perspective the answer would be no. Both my parents are/were in the fashion industry and I spent an unusual amount of time with models growing up. So I know from experience physical appearance is only a very small portion of what makes up a person. Certainly being attractive can help with the confidence, but those woman who are, in my experience, only about looks tend to be very insecure. However, there have been a number of ladies whom I thought that they are out of my league from a budgetary perspective.

I thought I would answers this question from a virgin's perspective. I have learned that this lifestyle is more prevalent and dynamic than I would have ever thought possible and I have always considered myself to be very open minded. The community aspect was the most surprising, and the welcoming nature of it even more so. So in short, thank you to all the cerbies, for making me comfortable to explore this lifestyle.

1) I travel a lot and often spend time alone. I have attempted to nurture friendships in the various cities that I visit regularly (i.e. Quebec City, Ottawa, Halifax) but it a lot of work, too many lies/games and fleeting at best in most cases. So a little while back I began looking into this lifestyle. Having taken the time to read the posts and the welcoming nature of the members here on Cerb has encouraged me to take that first step. 2) For it is about getting the impression that we would be a good fit, online chat, personal recommendations as well as liking what I read in the written recommendations will be a deciding factor as to who I book. 3) Web presence does also impact my decision making process especially blogging as it provides an insight as to who that person is, way beyond the "marketing hype" and physical looks. Also a web presence that is polished is a sign that they take their business and therefore their customers seriously.

Congrats! Love reading your posts.

Just bought new rolling carry on, wore the other out.

Alot of good choices already given... Some of my personal favorites are Bicycle Thief (I recommend eating at the bar if you are alone) The Press Gang (awesome raw bar) Chives (good food, great place to bring a date) 2 Doors Down (same chef as Chives - more a a bistro ambiance) Five Fisherman (good place for fish) Love to visit Halifax, wish I had an excuse to go more often.

Cristy, I have to say AMEN to that! ;)

The Radisson on Hollis is a great place to stay, I have directed a number of my colleagues to this hotel. It is centrally located, relatively close to the water and a good number of restaurants and bars. I have been going there since they completed the renovations. The staff is friendly, the customer service manager Lynne genuinely concerned about her customer's experience at the hotel. The restaurant in the hotel is adequate, however like most hotel restaurants it is overpriced for what you get. The newly renovated rooms are nice, well laid out and well priced although in no way cheap. I usually get the junior suite and have paid anywhere between 145$ and 178$ per night. When booking take advantage of your CAA/AAA membership as it can give you a decent discount. Second piece of advice, book early and tag an extra day after your planned departure. As the day approaches, usually 1 or 2 days before your arrival change the stay length to the actual stay duration. This trick with their online booking portal will occasionally provide you with a lower price when the hotel is booked below a certain capacity. This trick has saved me as much as 30$ per day. If you are planning to visit Halifax and it is your first time. I can recommend a cab drive that not only will provide you with excellent service but also offers personalized tours at a reasonable price. Enjoy your stay!

mustard Fries or Onion Rings?

Happy Birthday.... Wishing you health, happiness and success!

Dinner Date. Blonds or Red Heads?

OD that was awesome rant. Gents in case you think this is an exageration, which it is for effect/humor but honestly not by much. Think back to any number of times when you where planning to go out and you had to wait for your female companion (mother, sister, friend, wife, etc.). How long did she make you wait after the pre agreed to time that you were expecting to leave. Do you remember how more they made you wait? And this was a planned event/outing. Imagine last minute wardrobe change, because she loaned the perfect shoes that go with that outfit to her friend or any other number of reasons. How about it already being 30 minutes later than planned, you are about to leave, she looks in the mirror and notices a run in her stalking? Therefore what happens next? Well she may needd to start all over again. Now imagine, you are asking the same of an SP/MA at the last minute. She has to pick an outfit that you are going to like, make sure it is clean otherwise find some else. She then has to take a quick shower, dry her hair (trust me gentlemen although I have virtually no hair left on my head today, I once upon a time had long hair) which can take a while. Get dressed, put on at least the very basics of make up (do you know how difficult it is to put on eye liner and mascara, well I do). And if she tries to rush any of the process, it will look messy and or ruin the outfit. Some of those sexy outfits so many of us like and we like for them to take/come off easily and quickly can be quite delicate and are not as easy to put on. Guys the old adage still holds true... Patience is a virtue. I know that we live in a society where we expect instant gratification... The Internet has spoiled us in so many ways. That being said, quality cannot be rushed, and all these lovely ladies want to offer us is a quality experience for all those involved.

Happy Valentine's day to all the wonderful ladies I have had the pleasure to speak to. Posted via Mobile Device

Happy Birthday! It was nice chatting with you.

I like the idea... However I doubt he would have approached like that if his wife was with him. A while back, I ran into a dancer I had met a few weeks earlier from the fax at a Starbucks. I looked at her, noticed that she recognized me and that I recognized her. I could see a certain amount of apprehension in her eyes, that I might call her out. However I simpled continued looking for the customer I was waiting for and could see instant relief on her face.

GC although I understand the sentiment, it is a very lonely way to live. This does not mean we trust people unconditionally right from the get go. However as human beings we are social creatures and crave contact with other living beings. There is absolutely nothing like it, when you have developed a long trusting relationship with someone else where you can be free to be yourself and know that you will be accepted for who you really are without any judgement. It also means that you can let your guard down and let someone in, knowing that they won't take advantage and abuse said trust. Sites like this were created specifically to create a safer environment for both hobbyist and MP/SPs. It provides both sides of the equation a safe way to find out more about each other so that you may being trusting each other. It encourages trust because, you can see in black and white as well as in color exactly what is being offered and what expected from both sides of the equation. This helps to minimize the likelihood that a misunderstand will happen which is a real trust killer. Why does this system help engender trust? Because if either side does not adhere to the agreed upon rules, conventions and/or commitments, the ecosystem will find out very quickly and the information will indirectly filter down the pipeline. And before you know it these people will no longer be here. I am new to both this site and hobbying in general, actually 5 days and counting. I have as yet not broken my cherry. This is in no way a negative reflection on the warm, kind, generous and beautiful ladies to be found on this site. It is more due to the fact that I am having a hard time choosing what am I looking for and who I would like to spend my time with. That being said, I have communicated with several very lovely ladies and I have begun trying to finalize a meeting for next week with one in particular. In return I have provided her with some real personal details about myself to extend a trusting hand in her direction in order to make her feel safe. A few days ago, I would never thought I would have felt comfortable enough to trust a complete stranger with that kind of information. However joining this site, reading the numerous posts and looking at the reviews she has received has allowed me to drop my guard down a lot more than I though possible, give her the benefit of the doubt and trust her. She in turn will decide whether or not she can trust me enough in turn to meet with me. So in case it is not obvious, I choose to risk trusting someone after doing some basic due diligence because the potential rewards are in my opinion worth it... As the old adage says "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Cristy... I couldn't agree more. There is a time and place for rules, and then there are times when you should simply follow your heart. In this case she offered to exchange contact information, which means that it she wants you to use it. It would have been a different story if she had not given you her information and you had to find her and/or "track" her down. That could be the beginning of a slide down a very slipper slope. So I say follow your heart and your first instincts and send her some nice flowers with a tasteful, meaningful personal message. Ideally with a reference to something special you did or somewhere special you spent time together.

Fiskaa: How about if you tell me a naught story... I am sure that would magically get rid of any ear worm that may have infected us.... ;)
