I say that if it feels wrong, or not comfortable, don't do it. There will always be other clients and always other situations. But only ever 1 YOU. When you have instincts, and you deny them (regardless of how prolific a hobbyiest he is on other boards, etc), you can only cause harm to yourself. If your instincts say no... I think it's best to follow them. Remember you're the master of your domain! He might have requested the outcall to his residence but power always rests with you. You can decide that you don't or can't do that anymore and so other, more comfortable arrangements need to be made.
You have the power, and never forget it. And your comfort matters most of all.

So, let me preface by saying that I'm new here, and many aspects of the hobby are much different than where I am from. Also, let me add that I was prior, an incall only provider. I'm new to providing outcalls, done a few, but not many.
Ok, so the scenario is:
I've got a client who wishes to see me for an outcall to his residence, however he states that he has nosy neighbors and wishes to meet me at a nearby public place, and then "usher me in" undetected. He mentioned something about his son's car having tinted windows. I got to thinking, and was like, wait, he wants me to get into his car with him and drive to his place? I'm not so sure about this, but I ask, is it commonplace here? My firm instincts tell me, of course, to never get into a car with a client, period. But in this much more fast-paced arena, maybe that is something people do. Just seeing what you guys on here might have to say.
Now let me say this client is registered on a popular board, and has submitted many reviews. I spoke with him on the phone, and had a pleasant conversation. He lives in a nice part of town, in a gated community and has stressed that discretion is a big deal for him. I completely understand that, but who is asking too much? Him for expecting me to get into a car with a complete stranger, or me for refusing to comply with that request, even if it means losing the sale.
What do you think?
