Newbie - FAQ
Thanks for the responses. I have been mostly comfortable asking the ladies my questions (it's my first post on this board and I've been hobbying about 2 months). But sometimes I don't want a question to give an impression that I'm trying to be greedy with time when I'm really just trying to understand the expectation. It's why I wished my question had gone up on the Vegas board because there appears to be a local custom and I just wanted a sense of that custom. Sometimes questions accidentally convey a sense of entitlement that they don't intend.
Before I meet a new friend for the first time, I try to avoid certain "transactional" details because I'm not sure how sensitive ladies are to that (and each has been different). I know there's a line and I try to stay well on the sunny side of it.
But, you're all correct, I should just address this with my new friends.
And, Robbin, thanks for the welcome to the board. You sure are sexy! I agree, being a naughty boy is better (and a lot more fun). But I have to be a good boy first or I end up being a naughty boy alone. 
I tried to post this on the Las Vegas board but it never got past the mod. So, I'll try here.
At home, my few hobby dates have been incall and I've met my new friend at the door of their hotel room or apartment.
I'm planning a trip to Vegas -- my first as a hobbyist -- and I've arranged a few appointments, two of which are outcall at my hotel room.
From reading the reviews of the ladies in Vegas, it seems customary for outcall appointments to meet in the hotel bar and have a drink. I know they meet there because most of the nicer Vegas hotels won't let guests up without flashing a hotel key to a guard just before the elevator. That makes sense.
I can't tell if stopping to have a drink with your new friend is expected etiquette or not. If so, I'm also not clear on whether the clock begins ticking in the bar or does your time begin when you leave the bar for your room?
Please let me be clear. I'm not complaining here or trying to assert how it should work. If it's customary to have a get-to-know-you drink in the bar because it makes the lady feel safer, then that's totally cool. And...I certainly don't mind buying her a drink.
I'm just trying to form an expectation of what is expected so I don't piss off my new friends by breaking the rules of etiquette. I don't want to suggest heading upstairs too quickly if a meeting in the bar is expected and I also don't want to assume more time upstairs than I have scheduled.
So, I don't seem to be able to post this on the Vegas boards. Can anyone here help me with how things work out there?
I just want to be good boy and follow the rules.
