Just out of curiosity, have any of you ladies been requested to play to play the role of a temporary/fake girlfriend at social functions (family reunions, weddings, high school reunions, etc.) or been introduced to your client's family?
If so, how did you navigate the social interactions of the night?
I've had a few clients over the years who enjoyed social dates, and even accompanied them to work parties, benefits, social events, etc. But I always drew the line at interacting with family members. Just seriously uncomfortable for me.
As far as everyone knew, I was just his date... didn't have to come up with much false history, background story, or anything like that. It was just like attending with someone I really WAS dating.
A couple of times the guy's ex-wife showed up unexpectedly and I just got the hell out of there!
Which is exactly what I would have done if I'd been on a real-life date with the guy. 
Well, except for the fact that we kept getting those "looks", especially from women. Because this was back when I was in my 20s and each gentleman who I actually "escorted" in this fashion was 25+ years my senior. But other than that, there was no real awkwardness or anything like it.

Being myself, a polite and supportive girlfriend that was interested in learning about his friends and family. If I am asking the non-intrusive leading questions in a conversation, then the light shines on the other person. I don't have any funny stories about this kind of meeting though.....I guess that is a good thing!
mmmmm- I did cover the 'hooker' tattoo up with theatrical makeup though.
It was kind of fun, actually, and a real nice wedding.
I was also another gal's uncle in a RL work related matter, but that's a real long story.

...while providing her a service, or was it OTC, ?
I should have gotten a Obie nomination, in any case
That's what friends are for, after all.

I haven't tackled meeting anyone's family yet, but I've definitely taken the GFE experience out of the bedroom and into the ballroom. Personally, I find it a breeze to be someone's perfect girlfriend for a few hours!
Get your backstory straight, agree on how much public affection you're going to engage in, and smile, smile, smile! Also, be sure to ask lots of questions in conversation. Not so much that you're interrogating anyone's coworkers, but enough to make them feel like you're fascinated by what they have to say and (more importantly) keep them from asking too many questions about you. The less you tell anyone about yourself, the less you'll feel compelled to lie
..Mainly because as a foreigner with a British accent and mannerisms, everyone converges around me and wants to know about me and the whole time I have to try to keep my story straight in line with my client's version! Even better is when the cover story the client makes up ( I have some that are real jokers) is really elaborate and funny and I can't keep from laughing as the other guests swallow it in amazement! The sad part is when a celebrity or someone important that I meet at such an event, invites me to something that I would love to attend or to do, but can't, since I can't give out my real identity. All in all they are my most memorable experiences in escorting....I should get an Oscar for some!
My client is someone I've seen a number of times so I know him fairly well. We said we were introduced by mutual friends. I also attended Barrett Jackson auto auction with a client I didn't know well. We told people we were neighbors just hanging out together for the event. How to navigate? Just be your best, charming self.

I think it would have to be reasonably age appropriate...
...and I had a lovely time on all occasions. It took a little rehearsing and a bit of finesse, but turned out nicely.
Assuming you aren't comfortable giving out legitimate details about yourself, as even the gentleman you are with may not know you that well, I would say rehearse a story. Most definitely your name, how you two met, how long you've been together, what you like to do together, etc. Who knows, it may even make for some delightful pseudo-role playing!
As far as I how navigate these kinds of things, I would say be your lovely self, and maybe don't engage others too much, as they may expect to be seeing you again.
I thought escorts just got hired by guys all the time to pretend to be a girlfriend at company Xmas parties & weddings. LOL I actually wish someone would hire me to do this because I think it would be really fun. The closest I've ever gotten was a guy who hired me for a series of dates so he could practice what to do with "real girls". He was a late bloomer in the dating scene & nervous.
