Posted last week about verification and everyone recommended p411.  I signed up...painless.  Hopefully it's a good way to minimize risk.  Thanks to everyone that reached out to give a newbie a hand.

You made a good first step, now go out and have some fun.

Thanks!  You in particular were helpful.  Mind if I pick your brain again?  I am wondering about tips...whether to give and when?  Putting it in with the donation seems premature, but when to do it afterwards?

The best tip possible is to see them again.

Most say tips are appreciated but never expected and best tip is a repeat visit, she'll make a lot more if you see her again vs leaving her a few bucks. If you choose to tip it only makes sense to do so after your date, just drop it on the table or dresser when you are leaving and don't make a big deal of it.

People in those lines of work and others where you tip depend on those tips for most of their income.  An escort can always set her rate to what she wants so I view them as completely optional.  As the others have said, the best tip is to see her again.

as always Vorlon, you called it EXACTLY what it is.  Servers and bartenders get minimum wage+tips.  Everybody knows that and figures it into the bill most of the time.

Went to see Portia once. Have  now "tipped her" four or five times. Never left thirsty, never had to wait, always left with a smile.
