Last night I went alone to a wine bar that was connected to a hotel. My boyfriend was working late and I was just trying to wind down, so I try to put myself together a bit even though it was just a Tuesday night. I sat down, looked around and was reading the wine list when someone sent me a drink.
A little later, an older gentleman walked over and introduced himself as Gerald. He asked me if I would like to join him and his friends and gestured to a table of four older gentlemen. At this point, I still thought it was just drinks, they probably saw me alone and wanted some female company, so I accepted. I sat down with them, flirted a bit, then they lowered their voice and asked me what my rate was. I was confused, then shocked and didn’t really know what to say. It wasn’t my best look so it felt so flattering an a turn on that they thought I was out looking for clients.
