you'll be beating them off with a stick.

There are many ladies in the Twin Cities who would offer you a memorable experience.  If you have specific interests I could make some recommendations.  In addition, there are several ladies I would recommend avoiding, but I need some specifics from you to offer advice either way.

Just some tips for newbies that I've picked up through experience and listening to other people:

1.  Check out the newbie board; lots of good info there
2.  Get the VIP membership so you can see the review details and have access to the PM system
3.  Spend some time learning how to use the search functions for both reviews and the discussion board so you can identify ladies you would be interested in seeing based on the criteria that matter most to you (ex: looks, menu, rates, etc.)
4.  Figure out what kind of verification the ladies you would like to see require and how you can meet those requirements.  Some ladies are very particular.  Others are more flexible.  It's OK to contact them about it if you are not sure; just remember to be discreet.  Any  explicit questions will likely get you disconnect or otherwise ignored.
5.  Some ladies advertise here or on other sites that they are newbie friendly; keep an eye out for that.
6.  Consider joining a site such as P411 that pre-screens potential clients.  Some escorts will accept membership in such sites as satisfactory verification.
7.  If you are still puzzled by something after having done research, please feel free to ask questions.  I think for the most part we are willing to help out so long as we think you are not just freeloading on what others have learned.
8.  Develop a bit of a thick skin; some people are going to be jerks regardless.
9.  If an ad or offer looks TGTBT, it's probably TGTBT.
10. If you find yourself in any situation that doesn't feel quite right, trust your instincts and walk away.
11. As a newcomer, stick with well-reviewed ladies.  It's harder when you are inexperienced to figure out who the legit providers are from the fakes and scammers when they don't have reviews.
12.  Google is very useful.  Searching on a phone number or other info from an ad in Google can sometimes save you a lot of grief. Google Image Search is another very useful tool to search for other places where pictures in an ad are being used.
13. To help uncover ads that are using someone else pics Google Image Search and Tineye are useful tools.  Much better to find out ahead of time that the girl you are thinking of calling is using the pics from some porn star or model or that the pics have been used in ads from one side of the country to the other.
14.  Get an anonymous hobby email that is not through your work, school, or anything connected to your real life (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc.) and use it for all your hobby email activity and for nothing else.  Be sure you include nothing that identifies who you really are when you create it.
15.  Get a prepaid phone that you use for nothing else other than hobby phone calls and pay cash for it and whatever refill minutes you buy.

Check the Friday Shill threads that are posted here every, well, Friday.

Can't go wrong with just about anyone on the list.  In addition to the previously mentioned Poppy, Victoria Sloan, Whitney Cohen, etc., Portia Eden is universally highly recommended.

You say it will be your first experience, so I guess you won't have any references to give. In that case, many of the ladies mentioned will be a very long shot for you. They are successful enough to be picky about taking chances with their own safety, and meeting someone without references is inherently less safe. So start contacting ladies right now to see if you can make someone comfortable enough to see you. If you dally, you will likely be frustrated unless you are willing to resort to backpage. A willingness to give up some personal information will increase your chances considerably, but don't let the little head make you give up more than you are comfortable with.

In addition you should consider Portia Eden, Mindy, Jillian and Kimberlie.
