Should I go out with the massage guy?

I would proceed with caution. Massage Therapists have to meet people somewhere, after all, and the benefits of a boyfriend who gives good rub should not be underestimated.

He might be a wierdo, but he would surely not last long in the profession if he regularly harassed clients.  For both of your sakes, keep it safe and light for a while. Don't give out too much personal info, meet him in public places, etc. until you get a better idea of his personality. Whether the date goes well or not, I think you need to find another masseur.

I know we have a couple of LMT's on the board, they may have a better take on the ethics of him asking you out.

Oh so many good points,  thanks guys.

I think I will go have dinner or coffee or something easy like that.  Well he was going to call me anyway so will wait and see if he actually does first I guess.

will keep ya posted.

I say go for it...and everyone had great points!  Definitely do NOT see him both professionally and non-professionally at the same time.  If it works out, you won't need to FIND a new LMT because you'll get FREE massages!  And if he was a creep he wouldn't have a job.  Those were my two favorite points and I agree with them!

I am determined that I need to marry an LMT someday...would be SO useful!

What Jen is so eloquently trying to say is- hit it.

Holy crap....are you kidding me?

This is a no brainer.   GO OUT WITH HIM!!!

Ever see the Seinfeld episode where he dates a masseus but can't get a massage?   Enough said.

I was just going to post that one of my best friends is a LMT. She was dating a guy who was a chef. I told her that it doesn't get any better than that. She said he cooked the best food she had ever had. I asked if she gave him massages and she said "No" Not when I'm not working. Needless to say they broke up.

morey1 - 2005-10-21 10:02 AM If it doesn't work out, can I go out with him OK, JUST KIDDING...not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Another Seinfeld reference. That masseuse episode was a CLASSIC.

Exactly! Jerry went nuts trying to get a freebie. Massage. Best laid plans...

As the sole voice of reason on theis site I feel it is my duty to throw some cold water on this happy dance... Does it not accur to any of you that he was thinking about you sexually while he was working? Did you happen to feel any inadvertant "bumps?" While you were sitting their, eyes closed and getting your massage, he was sneaking furtive, nasty little peeks at your partially nude body and, while I suppose it may be somethgin of a complement that he clearly liked what he saw, I'd have to wonder how many other partially naked clients he liked enough to "risk" asking out. My guess is you are not the first.

He could like you enough to risk his job, or he could be habitual. Hell, this could be the 5th place he's worked at over the last 2 years...

Be careful.

Of course you are. I'm very proud *sniff, sniff* that you think so highly of him-I do too.

Oh yes, I wouldn't go out with my massage guy. Thats creepy.
