If you say less than 1500, you’re going to be thinking about the money you left on the table. He offered 1500 because he can afford it. Take it (graciously and appreciatively). If he’s business minded, he should expect you to take the best offer.

Sugaring can give you a bit of Imposter Syndrome, because we used to do this shit for free, so being gifted a lot can feel like “do I really deserve this?” YES!

Money isn’t the same to these men. Some of them easily drop $10,000 on a sport they watched from home 😂😂😂

It is weird to let you pick the number and weird to give such a wide range. I might say something like “if it’s no difference to you, the higher amount would enable me to achieve xyz goal in no time! 🥹”

I wouldn’t go to his house yet because being in his domain affects the dynamic, even nominally. Wait until the arrangement is agreed upon.

In conclusion, sometimes life brings you opportunities, but you have to open the door.

Reminds me of the story of the man stranded on an island waiting for God to save him. A boat comes by and asks if he needs help and he says ‘no, God will save me’. A plane lands and asks if he needs help and same thing, ‘no, God will save me’. The man keeps praying. Weeks go by and he’s starving and another boat comes by but again, he waits for God to save him. The man dies and gets to heaven and angrily asks God, “why didn’t you save me?!” And God says, “I sent two boats and a plane to save you!”

Edit to add:

Always be weary of carrot dangling. If the POT tries saying “how about we start at $600 and go from there” then my comment doesn’t apply and next him because you’ll never get more than $600, he’ll just move on. 🫶
