Guys, how do you proceed if you come across a new provider on TER with no reviews on here but has piqued your interest. Believe it or not with as many reviews I have on here and as many sessions I have had I always tended to stick to well reviewed providers. Any advice for an old vet like myself on how to proceed?

I never meet someone who has no reviews.  There are just too many great choices who have them and too much risk when they don't.

Agreed but what about being on 411 and other sites? I have never once used those sites so I don't know if they are reputable or not.

..If you have the money to spare then go for it. IF not then pass. It always comes down to money and how you want to spend it. In this game you just never know until you are there.

yes, but I have emailed twice with no reply so not feeling great about this

I just started this world a few weeks ago and had no reviews. As a provider it has been very frustrating to get some gigs and get my very first review up. I would ask the girl for an email of a client for reference or relish at the thought of giving her first review! I wouldn't shy from her but maybe just have a good back and fourth dialogue before hand.

Good luck!

..definitely let it go. Same thing happened to me recently. emailed twice. No response. End of pursuit.

It may work to your advantage for your enjoyment to not have built up expectations based on reviews.

I'm confident you won't have to wait long for reviews to start pouring in.

I don't recommend taking one for the team to someone who is new, because they don't have the experience to do so safely.

Sure, there is always an element of risk with someone unreviewed, but if you've been around for a while then you probably have a feel for when someone is new, vs. when a situation is dangerous.

If you want to see her then maybe it's worth a shot.

If you don't feel like you are good with that kind of intuition, then move on to the next, reviewed, lady.

I'm the brave soul who saw Elspeth Sinclair before she had any reviews . One of the smarter moves I've ever made . As you'll see from the review of her I wrote, I hit paydirt. Plus it was my first chance to do a first- ever review of a  brand new lady . That was pretty fun in itself ! Elspeth , you will be rocking this corner of the world in no time .

What other advice can we give you?  TOFTT if she's tickled your fancy that much...
