I had a formal event to go to recently (with dinner and dancing afterward). As an older single gentleman, I tried to get someone to go with me and have some fun.

Hi Rock,

Did you offer to pay their regular rate, even if there was no sex?

.,,,, if a gentleman seeks a social, or social/event date, my gift is the same.

Look for ladies with a lot of these types of dates in there reviews. Jade would be an excellent choice sexy as hell and easy to talk to. Opera in Florida. Never been.

It is a sad shame that you couldn't find someone to go with you...I would have loved to accompany you.

There are plenty of us who enjoy and excel at longer engagements- from dinner to a night on the town, to an entire week's vacation somewhere- even cruises. You just have to look for us. Read our reviews, websites, blogs, etc. and you will get an idea of our personalities and whether or not we would be into an evening like you've described. Also, PM some of the gents who have written reviews here- they could recommend someone to you. Best of luck!

Hello luv, from looking at your reviews, or lack there of, it's hard to get a feel for the type of lady you fancy.
Rates are also an issue, it will clearly state on the providers site what dinner date donation is required.  
Florida during the summer is also a tough time as things are slow and lots of
Local ladies tour other states.  
Also, usually some pre-planning is required maybe weeks or months in advance. Last minute appointments of such a duration are rarely accommodated by me, with a busy personal life I'm not one to sit and wait by the phone.  

I do events like that all the time and am paid... I mean I obviously do more than that, but you pay for the public and private time. Are you saying ALL you wanted was public time and no play time? Can't imagine anyone turning that down unless you were trying to get the rate lowered.

Ok. So I guess your asking for more details.  

I'll try to answer in order.

I'm sorry too, but I didn't even consider you for (2) reasons.

And, no I am not 'friends' with Lacey aka Charity aka whomever she is going by these days. So funny about the cats though. I have not spoken to her since I left the "E' site then got an email out of the blue the other day. Kind of bizarre.

I was foolish enough to let her crash at my place for awhile and lead me to believe you two were GREAT friends. She moved in with 24 and OUT with 40. I heard she went back to THE school and completed her degree when she disappeared FWIW but now I'm getting off topic. I also need to do homework on you now.

That's right. Is was Ellie that offered. I'm having senior moments occasionally.

Awww! You poor thing! Maybe you just need to widen your pool of prospects. I do completely understand sticking with ladies you know well for something like this, though. But maybe you could start cultivating relationships with other ladies that you could ask to these events in the future.
