I'm an occasional visitor to the TC (great city) and have met some wonderful ladies.  The past few trips I've had a dinner date with a lovely woman in her mid thirties.  I'm thinking of arranging an overnight but her website shows a rate that is out of my range.  I don't want to insult her by asking her to reconsider.  What is "normal" for an attractive intelligent lady, for a 7 to 7, or 8 to 6 type engagement?  I'm not a kid anymore and need my sleep too, so the lady need not worry about that.

Of course I can always just stay with what's working.

Advice will be welcome and appreciated.

Your history with this provider may help in allowing her to consider a discount. Be very honest with her on how you enjoy her company and would enjoy an overnight with her but that her posted rates for such sessions is beyond your means. Make it clear that you mean no disrespect in seeking a discount at that if she declines to discount, you still wish to remain a client.

in some instances, a lady may discount an overnight rate a bit depending on what you expect on that overnight.   Some overnights are easier than others.  If you have alot of down time (pardon the pun, LOL) she would more likely be open to negotiation.  Do not be insultingly low in your offer either.

Good luck!  and have fun on your return visit to MN!!

be clear up front what's expected--not just price, but activities.  Most ladies won't do 12 hours of non-stop play (which shouldn't be a problem for you, as you say that you need your sleep too).  But, the one overnight I've had, along with reading ladies' web sites, suggests that you need to agree in advance on a minimum number of sleep hours.  I've seen it range from 4-5 required to 8-9.  Be sure this gets ironed out in advance.

I've asked a few ladies--only those I've seen before--if they could discount me slightly, and most have said yes, though a couple have politely said no.  But, in my requests, I've bent over backwards to say that I'm ok with a "no" answer, that I value the relationship more than saving a few $$, and that I still will see her at the normal rate, or for a shorter time (to accommodate my budget), with no hard feelings.  Just did that recently with one of my faves: I asked for an extended session at X price point; she declined, so we went with shorter session, and it went great.

Look at her website again, most list their hours and expectations for an overnight.  You can ask for a discount, and may get one, it will be up to her.  You should also know that it could change her view of you as a customer and some will take offense to being asked.

Personally I would stay with what I can afford as it will certainly be more than the dinner date.

Something that has been done in the past. Client sees provider for dinner & playtime before bed for a couple of hours, they go their separate ways, and then she rejoins him for breakfast in the morning. Saves you from paying for a lady to sleep next to you if you aren't the type that wants to wake up your companion in the middle of the night... ie. 2-4 hours before bed, 2 hours in the am... is typically less than the cost of an overnight.

I did an overnight many many years ago (in another country where you would take a girl home for the night from the local "brothel", and which was only about twice the cost of an hour.  Woke up the next morning and she was gone, and my pockets had been cleaned out.  Even though I didn't lose much money, it could have been worse.  So if you do an overnight, make sure you either know her well, or other guys can vouch for her (via PM).  And don't have anything in the room you would mind losing just in case.   Personally, if I were to ever do it again with a regular provider, I would never pay all of it up front either.

Tell her you would like to do something longer than what we have done in the past.  Ask her what would she be comfortable doing for however much your budget allows.  If she doesn't want to do an overnight at that rate she can tell you what does work for her without the awkwardness of saying no.

Thanks to all for thoughtful replies.

My 9AM meeting means the morning session would need to begin between 6:30 and 7.  Would a top rated provider be willing to start her day so early, do you think?  Appreciate the feedback.  You are gorgeous, by the way.

...despise mornings. I love pulling the covers over my head until 10:30-11... But others could be early risers. You never know until you ask.
