I have one regular who has been comming to my club for years, much longer than I have been there. All the staff know and like him and for some reson, when I started there, he took a liking to me. Now every time he comes in, he asks for me, will have a drink sitting on the table for me when I come over and will spend the better part of the night either buying me drinks and talking or getting dances. I acctually kinda like the guy, but still, he's just a customer.
One night, he asked me how much he would have to pay me to go get a drink with him at a regular bar after work. After asking around with the staff (all who said he was a good guy, and I would be safe) I said yes, on the condition that I picked the bar (we went to one where I know the bouncers and most of the staff). Great. Things kept going like this for a while but lately, each time he comes in he spends less on dances and still excepts me to go for a drink with him after work, but he's stopped payng me for this either. I don't want to lose him as a customer but he seems to just want friendship more (he knows I have a bf). How do I explain I like his company, but only if he's paying, without hurting his feelings (i.e. pissing him off so he wont spend anything on me)?
To make things worse, he works at my local grocery store so I have to see him everytime I go buy food. Wasn't a problem at first, but I want to keep this as a professional relationship only - whichc he doesn't.
