First, be sure to obtain VIP on this site, so that you have full access to reviews, and the ability to PM other members.  Second, do your homework.  While you may be able after some time in the hobby to have an intuitive feel, you won't as a newbie.  Third, the ladies you should be aiming to see should be those that are well reviewed, and been around for awhile.  Make sure that you are cooperative with their screening processes...failure to do so means probable rejection.  Avoid using sites such as Backpage and their ilk, and be very careful with Eros and Cit Vibe.  While there are plenty of legit ladies there, there are just as many that are not on the level.  Also, if they have a presence on TER in discussions on the boards, that's a green flag.  Last, trust your instincts and use your head in the hobby, as you would with anything else in life.  Seeing well reviewed ladies in addition will minimize your risks with encounters with LE and other assorted BS, but these are never zero.

Get rolling, bro.  Use the big head when just starting out, and you'll learn how to play the game.  You're little head will be thanking you...
