Nope ...I prefer to pass on providers who require deposits. Although, I did make an exception for an ATF several years ago, since we were planning an extended vacation together. That worked out fine, but I don't want to a chance when seeing a new provider.
A lady coming to town whom I am most anxious to see, informed me she requires a %50 deposit. I sent one lady two or three years ago a deposit at her request and one thing after another, the meeting never occurred.
Aside from hat bad experience. I have never been a no show and of I every did have to cancel at the last minute, I would certainly pay for the session since she had tied up the time.
I just don't feel right about being asked for a deposit before she would book the time. I don't want to be unreasonable and am anxious to see this particular lady, but it feels wrong. What does every else think?
OK, so I exaggerate a little...
I would consider sending a deposit to a lady who has previously been my companion several times over.
But for a first timer? Fuggedaboutit...
p.s. I too was burned once, fortunately it was little money...

deposits for longer engagements but not for 1-3 play times. Providers you have seen and built a trusting relationship would be excluded.
and I can see it when a gal is coming specifically to see you as opposed to just touring the city.
But I'll admit, I've gotten skunked a few times doing deposits.
One gal I see offers very steep discounts, up to half off depending how early you send in the deposit. I've seen her a dozen times and she has always been as good as her word.
It's a crap shoot however
...I suppose if I were going out of the country with a lady I already knew then something up front would be appropriate. Otherwise no thanks. Too many other fish in the sea.
Most of my dates are two hours and it's never come up in that context. Even for my rare longer dates, up to five hours, there has been no request for a deposit. I can understand it for an overnight, 24 hour date, or a "fly me to you" date, but you don't seem to imply that this is your scenario.
In principle, no. In practice, once.
Always struck me as a bad idea. But once on a lark I went ahead and did it. Stella Southerland. Worked out great. Never had cause to regret it
The lady contacted me to say she was coming to town. She told me the times and I asked for a 2 hour appointment. She finally wrote me with the exact times she'd be here and with the general location so I could plan my day including travel. Then told me when she comes here and is going to see someone for the first time she wants %50 in advance. I have refused tho I would sure like to see her. It starts out with a lack of trust on her part and complete trust on my part. I am not really afraid she will not show, just don't like the whole idea.
There are plenty of ladies who will see you without a deposit. This provider must have too much business. Either that or she will soon have too little.
in narrow circumstances... Your case is not one so NO.
In this case, Joe, it seems to be a case of Golden Pussy Syndrome.
along with asking for your Driver's License.
except if you are asking the lady to travel to you or to tie up a whole weekend or to get painful vaccinations for travel with you to endemic Cholera areas or to buy an extensive costume wardrobe before meeting you the cost of which you promise to reimburse

And it depends on the situation. I think 50% on a two hour date is excessive. But that's just me. I usually reserve the right to ask on extended date packages when I'm travelling. A lot of variables go into asking for a deposit for me. They are my own and are private.
I've never asked or 50% before though on any date, regardless of how long it is for.

Of course nothing goes wrong for you, since you're the one receiving the deposit.
If they had a problem, they would have passed or at least let me know they were feeling queasy about it. In fact I have one gent who likes to sent part as an advance on an upcoming date. Go figure. Things could go wrong on my end, like having to cancel because I ended up not being able to make the trip and having to get the $ back to the gent. Never happened.

have had hundreds of appointments with scores of ladies, almost all very top end. Never asked for and would never do
I can understand the impetus for requiring a deposit. When a lady is traveling the financial situation changes. There are expenses involved, and a limited amount of time available. All it takes is a few no-shows or last minute cancellations to ruin her day, financially.
I understand that it's off-putting though. An extra step that can raise safety concerns. I guess losing a client or two along the way must be worth it to her, in exchange for the assurance. If I was doing it, I would specify that I would return 100% of the deposit if I had to cancel.
