I've had three encounters so far and every time I get so nervous that I am almost non-functional during the day, up to the point when I meet the provider.  Normally, I'm not the nervous type and these were very well-reviewed ladies - no backpage or TOFTT - and my private life is well-protected so there's no logical reason for me to be as nervous as I am.   And the nerves go away instantly once I'm in the tender grip of the provider, making me wonder why I was so nervous in the first place. It's very annoying! I'd be interesting in hearing from seasoned hobbyists if it gets any better.

It's probably more anticipation than nerves, but the result is the same.  I'm so bad that I can manifest these symptoms up to two or three days in advance of a rendezvous.  I'd suggest just putting it out of your mind, but I know from experience that's not necessarily possible.

I would make the suggestion that if you're not functioning very well the day of the appointment, try to make your appointments the first activity of the day if at all possible.  That's what I had to take to doing.

...but it's not as strong as you keep going. I still get a bit nervous sometimes even with providers I've seen before. Yes, it likely is just the anticipation as a previous poster said. The more you see providers the less it will happen. But I don't want it to get ho-hum so a bit of butterflies is a good thing.

If there is anything that you normally do to deal with any other time you feel a bit nervous try that and see if it helps.

When I get to do:
1. A long good night sleep (if possible)
2. A very light 20 min workout 3 or 4 hrs before appt.
3. Repeat visits ... same provider(s).

Hope some of this helps you!

...a nice backrub first and gently remind to keep in mind that accordingly the law of attraction, emotions are contagious.

I have been at this for over 27 years and I still get nervous and excited before every encounter. I mean I am 60 yo and I get to make love to beautiful women half my age. Sometimes they actually want to meet me. I am always amazed by some of the ladies that say they really want to meet me. I am either very honored or very gullible. I don't care which. LOL.

I am actually going to be seeing one of the ladies that I have admired from afar because she is so lovely and appears to be so sweet and sincere. I will feel like I am going to vomit for most of the day until I am there. Once I knock on the door and it opens, I will be all cool but until then I will be a nervous wreck.

For me it's anticipation. Will they like me? Will she be everything I want her to be? Will I be able to please her at all? Reality is I will probably never know the truth. Most of these ladies are pros at what they do. They can make the frog in each of us feel like the Prince. I for one am ok with that. When I first started out I was falling in love with every other provider I met. I finally had one look me in the eye and tell me to grow-up and realize it is an illusion. I still sometimes get caught by certain ladies who are so good at the game that I think they really care. It is always about the money. And I am ok with that too.

Try to relax! Have fun! Make every moment count! And thank God you live in Atlanta where there are so many incredible ladies of the night!

That's what I get, at least with the first visit with a new lady.

I booked an appointment with a new lady one week from yesterday. So, I've got 6 more days of feeling like a teenager going to prom before all is well once again.

I used to get like that before every encounter - and eventually came to realize that it was often one of the best parts of an appointment.  I never liked it when an appointment required me to rush to fit it in around life's other activities and distractions.  It was always nice to be able to have more relaxation time to simply fantasize and get ready for an appointment with a nice drink or even dinner/lunch.  Not always possible - but many of my most memorable appointments started that way.  However, as time has marched on, I have found I have less and less of this 'anticipation anxiety' which has actually led to less desire to hobby and simply more desire to pursue other activities in my life.  Just aging I guess - but do miss the excitement and anticipation of a good hobby adventure that was actually all in my head.

For me I think it's 50/50 anticipation and nerves when I meet a new girl. Most of the day it's mostly the anticipation and then the ride over there and especially the walk to the room is my nerves. But let me tell you.....I hope that feeling never goes away when I'm going to meet somebody new. When it does I may quit this hobby.....LOL......For me that feeling and even throw in a little giddiness is what makes this hobby so special. But now let me tell you about my ATF. I see this girl more than a few times every week. Of course there is no nervousness anymore with her but that anticipation of seeing her is still there every time. And every time on that ride to see her I get so excited it's incredible. You know but that's why she is my ATF.....I have met no other that excites me so much every time I go to see her. She is so exciting to me that every time I go to see her I have that excitement level of it being the first time......for me that's what this hobby is all about.

lol! same here. Actually wait, my problem is "heat of the moment". Sometimes, I get so excited at the thought of meeting my chosen provider, that I can't restrain myself from jacking off. Although, usually there's still enough fuel left for 1 go, but I could do much better with some self-control.
Like this beautiful, beautiful lady that is every man's dream that I am going to meet towards the weekend.
My biggest fear is that I'll not be able to hold off from spending some precious juice of love for at least 2 sessions with her.
