I personally don't care if my name is on the envelope or not and I generally prefer that it be left either on the bathroom counter or in my Swimming Pool Fund pot he he he.

The reason why I say bathroom would be best is because at some point during the session she will have to run in there and it gives her a chance to check it discreetly.

bathroom and no name
on the 1st date
after that on the tv
or table or how ever
she likes it

I could care less if you put my name on it or not. Just so long as you leave it and the contents are correct. Where you leave it for me is another story. At my location you make an offering to the dragon. Have to keep those things happy cause I hear they are really mean when ya piss em off ya know..... LOL

Normally on the first time, Outcall, that I see a lady I label the envelope "Happy Birthday" and leave it in the bathroom.  Heard of lady that got pulled over and she still had the envelope with "gift" on it and was harassed a little.  Don't know if it's true but...

Second time I will normally leave the envelope in plain site by the TV.  If the TV is in a cabinet I normally leave it on a dresser or stand so she can see it as she walks in the room.

For incall - I ask to use the restroom to clean up and leave it on the counter.

I don't know who started the whole envelope thing.  I used to be able to go into a room and count the money without touching it or acknowledging it.
