Advise on if I should work with a provider?

[Veles]

I been in the hobby for over 20 years since my divorce. Never really dated since. This is to say that I appreciate the hobby for what it is, and I appreciate and have a great deal of respect for some of the amazing providers I have met over the years. Having said that, if you been in the hobby long enough we all eventually run into a low life or two, or met a provider who you admire but turns 180 on you. My apprehension from the beginning is that if I start working with this girl and one day when it comes time for payments for services, what if she goes, "do it for free or else!" If you been in the hobby long enough you met a provider or two who flake out on you on the flip of a coin.

I don't regret my decision.
