Weddings All Round

This is quite terrifying. I'm getting to that age where my friends are starting to get married off... I'm far from being the last singleton left (I'm only mid 20s, don't panic), but it is slightly daunting having to face the fact that I'm well and truly a grown up now. Weddings used to be something that only happened to my parents friends or to distant relations; now it's my own friends, my own age group, the faces I've seen grow from pubescent awkwardness into confident adults.

I always used to joke about moving to London and marrying a millionaire. Even when I got here, that seemed like a future pipe dream, not something that would click into motion straight away. Now I actually do get wined and dined by some handsome millionaires, even ones who are looking to settle down and find a good woman... but do I woo them? No. I run a mile. If I meet them as an escort, I'm completely confident and will let them take me out as often as they like. But as myself, I slowly back off until I'm at a safe enough distance to tell the story of how much fun it was when I went out with that millionaire.

Please don't make me grow up. Don't let me get old. Who knows the way to the fountain of youth???

Save or Splurge?

I'm lucky enough to have got myself into the financial position where I could just work 2 nights a week and live quite a comfortable lifestyle. I do enjoy being a lady of leisure... but I still don't own my property and I'm a bit too good at spending my money.

Over the last 6 months I've whittled my clients down to just a handful of regulars who I know and trust, plus enjoy their company. I do occasionally meet new guys to keep things interesting, but I haven't advertised myself for quite some time. I'm just wondering whether I should be planning ahead and saving some proper 'grown up' money; I can't really do this job forever, and I'd like to stop when I settle down and get married. Realistically, that could be in the next 5 years so I need a life plan! I've even considered getting myself a sugar daddy, but that could get too comfortable and I'd forget to live my own life.

The client I saw last night has asked me a few times whether I'd consider being his full time mistress. He's in a dead marriage, but works in the city and only sees the family at weekends. If I wanted to, I could have a nice flat all to myself with everything taken care of and have the weekends free to do as I please. But it would also mean no boyfriends, being at his beck and call during the week and pretty much doing as I'm told. I think I'm too independent to take on that lifestyle.
