Last week I was at a strip club with a friend and was shocked when the stripper I bought a dance from asked me out. I played it cool, but said yes. We're meeting for dinner on Wednesday.

I'm a little uncertain how to escalate. This is a girl who has already rubbed her tits in my face, but we haven't kissed. Also, the strip club environment is very sexual, much more so than a restaurant. So what should I do to pump her buying temp?

There's a big age difference between us - I'm 43 and she's 23. I don't plan to even mention it, but I'm wondering if there's a way to play that to my advantage.

One other thing: she used to dance in Vegas but said she didn't like it because too many people treated her like a whore. Tips on how to bring our her inner whore without treating her like one would be appreciated.

Update

Thanks all for the advice. Here's some more info for context. I originally posted it as a comment but thought I'd summarize it here:

I was with a friend at the club and we mostly ignored the girls for about 80% of the time we were there. We were talking business stuff. We didn't sit by the stage and shove dollar bills into garters. (We were definitely different from all the other guys there.)

One girl did try to put her hooks in (and she was very hot), but I wasn't really that interested and could tell she was play-acting. It's funny how stripper game is so similar: lots of kino, pretending to be interested in me etc.

I had chatted for a while about business ideas with the one who asked me, but she never tried to sell me a dance. I didn't tip her when she was on the dance floor either. I always maintained eye contact and didn't ogle her. I did NOT talk to her about her job as a dancer, focusing instead on her "real" life. We mostly talked about how to market her side business. I also DHV'd by talking about how I used to to perform in a dance group myself, and still play and dance samba as a side hobby.

(However, my friend did ask her about her job. He also bought a couple dances from her before I did, but she didn't ask him out. He's also very successful. FWIW he thought she was the best of the three girls he bought.)

She may be playing me for money, but if so she's very cheap. I only bought one dance and no drinks. I've spent way more than that on strippers that I had no expectation of seeing again. That's why I was surprised when she brought it up.
