Have fun. Know more. Make some money. Keep out of trouble.

What is Commercialized Quasi-Friendship  (CQF) ?

    Some people did stupid things simply because they were too bored.  Some people spent lots of time with some lousy friends for nothing or even for bad when they were actually in anxious need of clean cash.   Some quality people were suffering from loneliness because all kinds of reasons. 
    Can we use market mechanisim to adjust friendship as a resource for our well-being?   
    Friendship always comes with potential trouble when something emotional is involved or when some other people or things are involved.  That's why some people tend to avoid it for avoiding trouble.
    Can we extract the parts that might cause trouble out of it and fully utilize the pleasing parts for our well-being?    Yes, if we can make sound rules for the game.

    Here are the rules:

1. Currently, we promote two categories of  Commercialized Quasi-Friendship:
(A)  Personal-Guide
(B)  Personal-Company

    Personal-Guide is an out-door service.  If you plan to have a trip somewhere, you may try to find a Personal-Guide for better understanding of your destination and more efficient time&route management.  A nice or interesting local amateur guide might bring much more fun into your trip.

    Personal-Company is an in-door service.  If you are lonely, you may try to find a Personal-Company to share your ordinary life, get more opportunity to know a new person and be-known by a new person.


2. Requestor and Provider should get enough genuine information about each other before bargain for a deal.  Provider has right to decline requestor without any reason.


3. Price is negotiable. Price is determined by market.
    If provider wants to improve a foreign language that requestor is fluent in, and requestor can help provider to speak more fluently during service session, requestor may get big discount.
    Requestor might also want to improve a foreign language that provider is fluent in. This is included in the service. No extra charge should be made.
    Requestor should pay provider 50% when a service session starts and the other 50% when the service session ends.
    Suggested price is 5$ to 20$ per hour, 4 or 8 hours per session. At least one session per purchase. 
    If expense occurs during the session, such as dinner or tickets, Requestor should pay all expense for provider.  This expense shall not be counted in payment.


4. No physical contact is allowed.
    If you feel that you like each other, please deal with your emotion after the commercial session.   Please keep in mind that might cause trouble to yourself.  


5. Always have a study of each other's profiles and links before making a deal.
    Because not everybody is good ( some might be very bad ), always let some friends or relatives keep track of you when you are in a quasi-friendship session, no matter you are provider or requestor.  Keep records and send your records to a trusted person by email before you go.
    In a word, try your best to ensure safety.  Don't be careless.


6. By default, quasi-friendship ends when service session ends.
   ( Set a standard expectation to avoid anybody being hurt. )


7. Immoral or illegal behaviors are strictly prohibited.
