Because she's a high class escort, a discreet one, and sees you as one of her social circle. Escorts are human, and they need a social life just like anyone else. Of course, the only way to prove that she's an escort 'beyond reasonable doubt' is to catch her in the act of a transaction. Perhaps you should hire a PI, or get a friend to approach her as a client, rather than a prospective boyfriend.

She probably has a totally separate personal account that she only shares with family and friends, under her real name. Look on the bright side @Cameroni - at least she didn't reject you as a person. It was just a business decision.

She's writing to dozens of customers at the same time, so might be using a bit of copy and paste here and there. Why else would she have over 1000 farang blokes on her Instagram? It's not rocket science. Your analytical legal mind should be on top of this subterfuge.

Dump her. Block her and get out of there.

Count yourself lucky that you found out now, before you lost more than a few days of your time and a modest amount of heartache. You can forget about her and find someone who is honest about what she is and does.

Thousands of ugly farang men on her Instagram. Five star holidays all around the place with no obvious income. Keeping you dangling. Abrupt cancellations of meetings with you, only to pop up in distant beauty spots all dressed up. Photos of wads of cash. Boasts about male generosity. Lies, lies, and more lies. You're a lawyer. You should be familiar with this kind of thing.

You didn't come on to her like a paying customer. As you say, it would have been better if you had done that.

Escorts might entertain the idea of going on normal dates sometimes, just as you might do pro bono work, but billable work comes first, especially when there are big bucks involved.

She could be a high class escort. They wouldn't post photos of their clients for obvious reasons.

You might also want to backfill your pipeline from more traditional sources, like your professional and social network of real people, whose circumstances aren't a secret and who are living within their means.

@NickyLouie, please debate the subject politely and refrain from attacking other members, or you will be removed from the conversation. Thank you.

An off topic post concerning events in Lebanon was removed.

Indeed. Only in Thailand could a 54-year-old incurable romantic have the time of his life with pretty women half his age, like you seem to be doing. You dodged a bullet with this one though. Work on your pipeline some more.

Cameroni comes across as such a decent, successful and positive man, and he certainly knows how to treat women well. He just hasn't met the right one yet. Every rejection is a redirection, so the old saying goes. He'll meet someone much better, once he moves on from this time waster.

She probably feels sorry to have let you down, but went ahead and did it anyway, sadly.

She tells lies like one.

Not exactly the description I'd have used. She's telling you lots of fibs, that's for sure. You should ask yourself why she's doing it. Perhaps you'll never know. Perhaps you don't want to know....

Adding to the mystery, the waterfall image comes up as Tad Mok waterfall in northern Laos

Google Lens thinks it's Pino Latte coffee shop, located in Khao Kho. Adding to the mystery, the waterfall image comes up as Tad Mok waterfall in northern Laos.

Refusing a date that you'd booked in a nice restaurant, with a tentative offer of a late night KFC is poor manners, made worse by not going into detail about these errands, and why they were important enough to waste your time.

If I were you, I wouldn't hang around on the off chance she might grab a KFC. Apart from anything else, it makes you appear desperate. Cancel and invoke a Plan B for the evening.

Drink a couple of bottles of Red Bull half an hour before your date. The caffeine and sugar might pick you up a bit.

Feel sorry for them both. Airlines these days seem to take delight in enforcing petty rules to the letter. Discretion doesn't come into it.

Off topic quarrelling removed. @Prubangboy / @Harrisfan please discuss the topic and stop attacking each other, or you will be removed from the conversation. Thank you. Please note that asking to meet people in person with any kind of threatening intent will not be tolerated.

Off topic mockery removed. If you don't like the topic, or have nothing sensible to say, then please move on to another topic. Thank you.
