Here we do not have as many of these functions, at least not that I have heard about. I know there are quite a few around Christmas time but otherwise it is pretty much reserved for major events in a company when a company can indeed spend the $$ for such an event. I think perhaps this offering might be very popular for those without a partner during the Christmas season to goto the annual Christmas Gala perhaps.
I am glad you found something that works for you, that is great. I think that perhaps an exclusive amount of ladies with the right mentality could in fact pull it off and have good audience for it. Personally, it is probably not for me. Why? I would be nervous around my guests friends/family/co-workers, afraid that I might say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing and cause embarrassment to my guest. That would keep me from attending a public event in which people who knew my guest would be. Then the explanations would pain me. So alas it is not for me.
Kudos Lina, on finding something that works out well for you...

Hi Guys!
I'm traveling a bit and very much enjoying the opportunity to wine and dine out on the town. I posted something on the DC board which got a bit of attention from admirers and detractors alike (surprise!) about the fun of going out to dinner with an escort.
As with everything... there are pros and cons!
1) You could be seen... then again some people enjoy risk, and having to "think on their feet" if a situations comes up. Trusting your dinner date to be discrete helps, however! Maybe explain you don't want her to show up at a five star restaurant in a bink bra set visible under her thin white t-shirt and barely-covers-her ass skirt...unless you want that! Hey, you have to sit there through dinner too! LOL
2) You will spend more. Not only for her time, but for dinner! Then again, you will have more time to flirt, talk, and anticipate any other fun activities you have in mind! To each their own, but bless those guys who both can afford and enjoy treating THEMSELVES to an extended date with a sexy woman who is all thiers both in mind and body for their time together. How many of us crave that in our daily lives?
3) You may have to sit the entire meal. Well, there is not much I can say about this. Baseball scores only work so well! Be careful what you ask her to wear! But the advantage of this may be an even hotter time later when if you get behind closed doors!
4) Even less-than-dinner dates can start outdoors...but arrange this in advance. Ladies traveling or with incalls at a hotel may NOT want to be seen at the local coffee shop every hour on the hour! If she declines, probably just accept this without asking more questions. Longer dates this should not be an issue.
5) Following up on number 4, I guess, there are ladies that don't WANT longer dates! Check their rates. See if they have any longer date reviews. Likewise, if you are setting up a "dinner date" but expect that dinner will be "in-the-room" it's polite to make that clear in advance.
I know dinner dates are not for everyone... either for budget or desire or both reasons! Have you ever done a dinner date that went well or not-so-well? Here's your chance to share!
Hope to see you soon!

ladies that I have built a nice connection with. I wouldn't schedule a four hour (or more) date for a first date with a lady. However, after an initial rendezvous (which is typically a two hour event for me), if there is a nice connection I would more than consider seeing her for extended dates (which is usually a four hour lunch/dinner date out). As you point out in your post that if you have little to discuss, this would be a long day. That is why I wouldn't put myself (or the lady) in a position that could be uncomfortable initially. Truth be told, I just met with a travelling provider and only set up two hours even though her reviews discussed her ability to converse. As I was nearing the end of our meeting, I easily would have been comfortable taking her out for lunch, but we both had other commitments and now I will wait rather impatiently till she returns to Chicago. As far as the additional costs of a dinner...well if you are willing to spend $$$$ for a 4+ hour meeting, what is the difference in enjoying drinks and dinner with a lovely lady that I enjoy spending time with?
I don't disagree that extended dates are not for every guy (or lady), and that $$$ can be a major reason why this is so. I also think that it can be a difficult time for a lady/gent if she/he is out for extended time with a guy/lady that is a weak conversationalist. Hence my rationale for meeting and testing the waters to determine if this could be a winner (at least from my perspective).
Lastly, many reviews here do not discuss the dinner date...but rather focus on the inside activities. As a TER reader, I would find it difficult to determine compatability solely based on a review. And if a review was attempted to be posted strictly discussing the outside activities, it in all likelihood, would never get posted. Good luck to you in Chicago.
The way we ladies structure our rate packages always reflects our attitude to longer dates.

Clock Free Dinner Dates is a concept I haven't heard of before. As a hobbyist this concept provides the advantage, especially with a provider you've met and would love to spend more time with, an option without the cost of a multi-hour session. Looking at it from a providers viewpoint, time is money and though dinner and drinks at a nice restaurant are enjoyable "clock free" equates to less dollars in your purse.
Chicago ladies what do you think?

I like the idea, however if you check these ladies sites they do make sure they are very well compensated for tossing out the clock. Lina for example has a Clock free dinner date(up to 7hrs) It is generous enough that it is worth her doing, as well she still does have a time limit and an exit before then would still be within her rights via her wording on her site.
My thoughts are that you will never be fully without the clock, the clock is what makes this a hobby. Without it we would just be taken care of mistresses. The idea does appeal but without any limit there would be some who would push a dinner date into an over night because they weren't done yet. Trust me there is always some guy ready to take advantage of a ladies generous nature.
As well, tossing the clock would make it harder for the common man. Rate could become out of reach.
I do quite a few lunch and dinner dates with time limits, but they are actually decent time limits that are the common time it actually takes to have the meal and a couple hours playtime. The gifting is about 1/2 Lina charges for her clock free dining experience. Not to compare rates, sorry Lina!!! I have to say I have never had a guest walk away less then completely satisfied with the experience though timed. However I am not a clock watcher so tend to make sure the experience feels clock free.
Again, sorry Lina I mean no insult comparing gifting.
However, there are many of us that are more then willing to specialize a package for you and plan an entire eve with things you desire. Perhaps a nice dinner, followed by the movie of choice(a naughty hand stroking your leg, the 3rd leg mind you), or maybe drinks after or instead at a local hangout, followed by a few hours of play. It would be a hot date!!! A customized package will assure you get what you want and the amount of time that is needed without comping for more or less time to where either party feels cheated. That is just my view. Keeping the clock will keep the gifting more reasable. Loosing the clock is more exclusive and tends to have a heaftier pricetag.
Licks all, Sage
Very well written and thought out post.
Before I introduced my Clock Free Dinner Date in NYC I did a lot of research and asked Gentlemen's opinions on the subject.
First response was "oh no I don't want the Clock free because what's to stop the lady to call it quits after 2h?"
So initial response was cautious. Hence I had to come up with very specific write up about what both parties may expect during such evening.
Clock free dinner dates in my opinion fill the niche between regular dinner engagement and overnight. Difference between 4h Dinner date and Clock Free Dinner date (in my case) is $200.
This is an option for those who wish to attend a social event, have relaxed meal AND get same playtime as usual dinner date would allow.
I am not sure about Chicago social calendar, but NYC is black tie central in fall and winter. This is another situation when a Gentleman may want a Lady to accompany him to charity event/dinner/dance and have private time after the event, once again without glancing at the clock every 5 min.
Possibilities are only limited by interests and desires of both parties ![]()

I know there are quite a few around Christmas time but otherwise it is pretty much reserved for major events in a company when a company can indeed spend the $$ for such an event. I think perhaps this offering might be very popular for those without a partner during the Christmas season to goto the annual Christmas Gala perhaps.

I read it at first as Dinner Daty and other pubic meetings....
Wendy,
I have done dinner dates and I have always had a wonderful time. In my experience providers are intelligent and interesting people to talk to and I've never had any problem filling dinner with interesting conversation. As far as your pro/con list goes, I don't see #1 as a problem. Chicago is a big place and I don't worry about being seen. Then again, I don't really care either. #3 hasn't been a problem, but my professional life often puts me in the position of having to carry on conversations with people I don't much care for. Like I said earlier, I have yet to meet the provider I couldn't converse with for hours. #4 is what it is. Like I said, Chicago is a big place. If you don't want to meet at the hotel Starbucks there is always something else on the corner. #5 I suppose there are. If so, just say so. I knew a woman who was a provider in Chicago (I never saw her professionally, we were friends) that was invited on a fair number of dinner dates. She was in her early 20s and not very "worldly" and had a terrible time with these dates. She never knew what to wear or what to order or how to act, etc. She would get her stomach in knots and have a miserable time. That having been said, I think she was the exception. I also had the impression her dates were stuffy guys that didn't do much to put her at ease.
That brings me to #3 and my only gripe on this topic. I've noticed a number of ladies will offer, for example, a 4 hour dinner date for four times what their hourly rate is. This just doesn't seem fair to me. I understand time is money, and any time spent sitting with me in a restaurant is time that could be spent with someone else making that hourly rate. But I find the 4 hour dinner date where the 2 hour dinner portion is at a discounted rate and the 2 hour "desert" portion is at the regular rate to be more reasonable. Just my opinion and I have no problem with those ladies setting up their rates however they see fit. I just doubt I will ever take any of them to dinner. Maybe that's why they do it.
I like the idea of a 3 hour date with 1 hour for a cocktail beforehand to get acquainted. I haven't seen that on many rates pages but it would be a nice addition.
