there are some ladies who are able to screen even a novice through other means. Most of the individuals I've shared time with have never been a part of any screening service. Then again, I have a bit of a reputation for being a strong screener, which may be why I am comfortable accepting individuals unassociated with verification sites.
The biggest issue our dear OP is going to run up against is his age. Johnnycat, I advise you to check with any lady you wish to see to determine whether she is comfortable seeing men under a certain age. Many ladies have age minimums; these are typically 30, 35, or 40, the first two being the most common. Sometimes this is written clearly on her website (always read her website), and sometimes it's something you have to check on with her. Ladies who do this typically cite maturity and comfort reasons. Conduct your behavior and email like an adult (skip the text speech, avoid pet names like "baby, sexy, etc," as well as the term "hook up," and in general avoid sounding like your replying to a Criagslist hookup ad), and that may open some doors that were otherwise closed.
The other issue with your age is related to screening. Younger individuals typically have little or no working legend on the internet. They're in too low a position in too massive a company for even a great screener to pull up anything on them, they have no (legal, public) activity in their city that's verifiable (leaving some of the specifics vague here to protect my screening methods), and if they have a very common name, forget about it. So, sometimes alternative screening methods work with someone your age, sometimes they don't.
I simply wanted to point out that verifications sites open doors, but they are not the only method, and some doors simply won't open due to your age. All things to consider when proceeding....

Hey people!
As you read from the subject heading, this is a newbie question...
I'm looking to contact a provider for the first time. I've never done this type of thing and to be honest, I'm not really sure what to expect. The whole thing is kind of scary haha, but a little exciting.
I was wondering if any of you folks can recommend someone who is kind, gentle, and accepting of first-timers. I've read some horror stories and I'd like to stay away from "business-type" providers.
A little info if it helps - I'm 27, clean, and a normal guy. Just missing something and I'm hoping to find it here.
Anyone have any recommendations?
