I have a new CF that is absolutely my type, and I am hers as well. I say this based on the conversations we have as well as our sexual compatibility ITC, which only involves mild extras so far although there wasn't even that until last night. Last night was the 4th time I've bought dances from her and she spent the whole evening with me (again) even when my wallet was already empty. Initially I was focused on getting her OTC so the money I spent would be for sex, but she's made it quite clear that she doesn't do OTC, and even apologizes for it. I don't take it personally or as a sign she's not into me at all because she spends the whole time I'm there with me, but I also refuse to just get strung along even if that's not her intention.
So for now I'm biding my time, but at some point it's time to cut bait and move on because frankly a platonic relationship with this particular dancer isn't going to work for me. I have a few choices. I could let her know this particular ATM will move on if she doesn't make arrangements, but seeing how she ignores other regulars for me makes me think she'll also ignore me if I make ultimatums. She's like that...very strong minded when it comes to her personal choices. Or I can cut my budget down while waiting her out and see what develops; maybe only see her every few weeks. But how long does one wait? Any "system" here I should follow?
I had a steady civi g/f attending to my needs but she recently went back to her husband so I'm now available again, and actively looking for steady sex partner. I'm curious: how long do you guys work on a dancer for OTC that's not a pro at it and isn't an OTC type? She won't even see my band! Does giving it 2-3 months make sense like it does for a civi girl? Normally I'd just move on right away but this girl is worth some extra effort and patience. It's like she's not even a dancer...a sex worker who doesn't have sex? I sure do pick them huh. (For Clubber, she's the goth Japanese girl with a Russian accent so you can relate to how hung up I am on her!)
When does patience turn to obsession?


I had one like this that I cultivated for a while thinking that I could overcome her OTC opposition. It was a very similar situation -- she delivered as much as the club wound allow which was good but not great and refused OTC. She was smart and strong willed, and spent many hours with me in the club whether I was spending or not. I gave it about 4 months until it became clear that nothing more was going to develop, and then I moved on. Only you can judge when that point is reached, but your post makes it sound like you are probably there or close to it.
I still play with her in the club occasionally when I don't have a better option, but I completely given up on an OTC or more involved relationship. Admittedly, having the DS made this a lot easier but it was the right thing to do regardless.
