What do you consider "LTR"? (ladies and gents)

[Utanks]

I may not be a newbie hobbyist, but I'm still ramping to all the dang acronyms that I swear I still need to whip out the (escort) dictionary to know some of them!

Anyway, my question regarding "LTR" has nothing to do with an economics question, so I'd like to avoid any of that in this thread. This is more of what experience is that going to provide?

I'm going on a standard definition of the acronym as Long Term Relationship, which in a "real" relationship that's moving from dating to being a serious couple; however, in the voodoo that we do, what exactly does this service mean? An all inclusive weekend package? A business traveler who wants a provider as a travel companion?

Or are we talking more like the Pretty Woman scenario where Richard Gere essentially rented the provider for a week to be available 24/7 as his "beck and call girl"?

Or are we talking about a lady indicating this as an indicator that she is willing to entertain Sugar daddy/sugar baby negotiations?

Or any other scenario I'm not thinking about?

Discuss away!

I think one minute past my half hour session would make me feel like a LTR couple

Hmmmm. Well, in my case much of my retirement is what I would consider an "LTR" type of relationship.

In my case-I was approached by a very very nice and generous gentleman that wanted a more exclusive and serious kind of arrangement. Basically-we mutually enjoy one another's time and felt like the arrangement was mutually benefiting.

To me, it more a matter of connecting with someone and them with you and deciding mutually to be exclusive based on the fact that both of you are happy spending time with one another exclusively. For some, it becomes dating, for some it becomes a sugardaddy/sugarbaby kind of arrangement, for some it becomes and intense friendship, it just really depends on the 2 people.

If you are considering this type of arrangement I would advise to think considerably about it. Make sure for certain that the other party is willing and wanting to carry out their end of the bargain and that you, yourself are very into the lady and want her company exclusively and that the 2 of you are on the same page. This type of arrangment requires a huge amount of trust, communication, understanding and ability to communicate.

Utanks, you will find the definition of LTR to be many things to many people. At one level, it is a relationship of two people seeing each other frequently and extending their time together not necessarily in a sexual time frame only. Meeting for coffee, meeting to work out together, then scheduling an appointment, etc.

On another level, it can be a "pretty woman" scenario; I just recently returned from Europe having been gone three weeks, one of those weeks was with a provider I have known for several years.

A long term relationship means something different to everyone; there is no set answer; as Devynn stated, both parties must communicate clearly and objectively to make certain that all expectations are met by both individuals.

"what experience is that going to provide"? whatever the two individuals decide....

Just my experiences and opinions.......

Thanks for the responses so far. I do have a comment re:

"A long term relationship means something different to everyone; there is no set answer"

Well, sure if we are talking the agreed general meaning of the term itself and when thinking in regards to non-P4P relationships; however, I'd like to get a better understanding of its purpose when being listed in a "menu" item as well as a provider's decision to list it.

So my question is not just about "what" is provider A offering by listing it, but is that "what" the same as the interpretation of "LTR" being listed on provider B's menu? And for the ladies who don't do "menu lists" in regards to svcs, does the hobbyist assume that an "LTR" inquiry is a valid ask? Does a random provider even know what would be a baseline assumption if a hobbyist solicited sans any menu item reference?

All our crazy acronyms come with a baseline assumption (e.g. GFE has it's many variations but it still carries an expected baseline regarding a certain level of affection vs a non-GFE provider isn't expected to), and I'm not sure I know what that is regarding "LTR" in this arena.

Anyway, that's some what's in my head regarding this subject, but I'm really more interested in finding out what's in y'alls thoughts so please keep the responses flowing.
