Question for you more experienced SDs
My question is simple, but as with most simple questions the answer most likely is not.
Question. I'm a married monger looking for a decent / reasonable short term stay (hotel / apt, etc) to host a sugar baby that I've just met; any thoughts or suggestions?
A little more background.
I live and work near East Lansing, MI; I've been reading the posts in this forum for the past couple of months and have garnered valuable information to get my feet wet as a SD. My dilemma is one that has been faced by many a married SD I'm sure. My guess is there is no easy answer, but I hope that someone may have a creative solution that can work for me so thanks in advance for anything you can share.
Since I am married, I cannot reasonably host at my home; discretion is also important so most traditional hotels aren't an option, ; and notels, well are just not someplace to take a regular SB.
Earlier this summer I met a SB through CL; she is 24 yr old MSU grad student and she could host so this was great; for a variety of reasons, not the least of which has been a change in her ability to host, this SB relationship has gone to a holding pattern.
Today I met with another potential SB; she is a 21 year old senior at MSU and she can't host because she has roommates but is more than ready to consummate a reasonable SB / SD relationship if I can figure out the meeting arrangements.
Any help or insight any of you can offer will be most appreciated; please post or pm as you prefer.
All the best, #4025
Words of wisdom + an update
[QUOTE=Revvo; 1858318]There are a couple of things you can do and has been covered on many posts on here.
1. You can let your baby make the reservation at the hotel and then you can pay with cash.
2. You can get yourself a separate credit card that your SO does not know about.
3. You can also get a Amex gift card at most drug stores and put cash on it and pay with that.
Are you afraid of having your name on the room? You can also use a different name just a little out of sync from your real name on the reservation. Like joe Houston instead of joe Hudson.
I am sure you will hear many more ideas.
Revvo[/QUOTE]4025,
I often go to nicer, boutique-type hotels, which can be booked mid-week, when I prefer to play, through hotels.com or other similar travel sites for a fraction of the rack rate. I use a green dot card with about $25 on it to secure the room (most sites will let you do this, with the understanding that you will pay when you arrive) , then use my real name but a fake "business" address when checking in. I also make a point of saying to the clerk that I don't want any snail mail, email or other correspondance being sent to me. I am still leaving a "trail" but a minimal one which unless your wife has hired a divorce lawyer already, will probably not come back to bite you.
That said, in my 3+ years in the Bowl, I have never had even a tiny scrap of paper trail follow me home. I do make a point of avoiding chains where I have reward memberships, like Hilton or Marriott. But that's why I like the boutique hotels.
I agree with Nando that the babies mostly don't care, but some do, and I love a nice hotel room, so at the very least I'm booking it for me AND the baby.
I never check out at the front desk, just leave the key cards in the room and go. You may be apprehensive now, but start out practicing with Motel 6, like I did, and soon you will be booking the honeymoon suite at the Ritz, if there even is such a thing anymore.
Like Rev and Fred, I urge you to read back through the Club Journal. This has been covered many times, with lots of invaluable advice. At the end of the day, the Bowl is not without its risks, but we brothers share to help minimize them for each other as much as possible. Nothing can replace field experience, however. If you're not willing to get burned at least once, don't even pick up a lighter.
In other news, my current ATF, with my encouragement and help, applied for and was offered a fantastic job which will unfortunately mean she will move to NYC on the 9th of September. The company is in its infancy, but is a phenomenal concept that I am convinced will grow exponentially, and she is one of the people responsible for launching it in new cities across the country, and eventually intercontinentally. To say I am severly depressed would be an understatement of the greatest magnitude. I imagined us growing old (er) together, my brothers, but that now seems like a distant dream. Fuck, fuck and double fuck!
I am attempting to dull my all-too-real pain by fucking a hot AA spinner tomorrow, but I know it will be bittersweet at best. As I have said many times before, be careful what you wish for. The heart wants what it wants, and we are powerless in the face of its will.
As my BFF Magic said to me, I have been through this before and my next ATF is waiting out there for me, but from where I am at this moment, she is awfully hard to see.
Onward, and Brother 4025, don't forget to write!
Peace,
Scott
Dropping SB, Who is the Boss
Well, my all time favorite SB in NY / NJ area, seen her 3 times. First date- nice one, afternoon to late night. Second, same. Third, overnight in the resort. But. As it turns. Out, it became like she is the boss, and I am getting allowance. This was 2 days event but started with too bossy. Everything was like you did this. Or don't do this. I felt like there was complete disconnect. I just decided to make it a 1 day trip instead of 2. Learned something, it is I am paying for hotel, expenses, allowance. SB yes, I respect but they can't just be on their own. It has to be mutual agreement. So. This SB. Is gone. I decided to cut loose. I am happy in the local Virginia now.
Well, on the other hand. I think this is a art. I learned so many things in last 1 month. I had 1 potential SB texting me. That she need to make a car payment and can I wire / MO money using WU. I said no. Found out on twitter that she is at redskin pre-season game. She doesn't know that but. Guys. Be lookout on social media- FB, Twitter pages for your SB.
Guys, what do you think about SB who writes on their profile that they don't smoke. But in reality, found on social media, she is smoking weeds and other. Hmm.
WOW. This world is crazy.
Just don't know if I can find a regular SB who is to good to be true. For my likeness.
