Telling Strippers You Love Them

I asked a stripper (which there is NO chance for a relationship), in which there is a significant age difference, whom I've spent alot of $$$ and bought roses for if she thinks I love her. All she said was I know you're fond of me. I didn't follow it up with anything else and have never used the word love in any correspondence with her. I have never told a stripper I love them in any meaningful sense of the word.
