I've had my eye on a provider's pictures listed on an agency website for while.  Good reviews, great pics, looks to be my type but with the very common blurred face to obscure the woman's identity.  

Recently as I've  scrutinized the pictures I realized there is chance I actually know this person.  I think I may have worked with her about 2-3 years ago.  

We didn't work closely as my company is fairly large, but we were definitely aware of one another and our paths crossed periodically.  I was always physically attracted to her and even fantasized that we might hook one day but was disappointed to learn that she had left the company under somewhat unideal conditions.

Obvously I cant be 100% certain it's her, but the body type, skin tone, and vague facial features I can make out through the blurring certainly make it a possibility.  Even the stage name is kind of loosely similar to her real name.  

The idea that I might know this person from my past is both enticing and frightening me off at the same time for obvious reasons.

What does the board think?

It's foul to show knowing you may know her real info.
The only thing I can think of you probably won't like.
Give her your real info. If she remembers you, the ball is in her court.

go for it...if you give her your real info she might realize she knows you and chose not to see you but nothing ventured nothing gained

Despite all of our secret fantasies, the odds that someone you work with is a secret escort are pretty small.  It's probably just someone who looks similar.

However, on the slight chance that it is the same person, then seeing her would be, essentially, invading her privacy away and exposing yourself at the same time.  

For me, that would be too risky.  You might be so enticed that you prefer the risk.  That's fine.  Everyone makes their own choices.  You could always contact her generically as a prospective client and use your place of work for verification info.  When she finds out where you work she might decide not to see you and that would be that.

Its her job to verify you and your not 100% sure its her anyway. Good reviews and great pics? Do it! Maybe there is some embarrasement at the beginning if it is her and hopefully she will still go thru with it. Thats a hot time and a great story you would be potentially depriving yourself of and...you will ALWAYS wonder..."what if".

On the matter. How would she feel/react. That might help guide you to your decision. Personally, I'd HATE to run into someone from my 'civi' life.

Yes' def ho 4 it!

Or starts calling you at home?

I would guard my privacy.

Assuming you can contact her directly since she's an agency gal, perhaps you can contact her via email and ask if she'd have any issues servicing someone from your industry (no need to name your company). This would give her a little hint and give her an a way out. If you've been thinking about her then it will be hard to get her out of your mind and the "what-if" scenarios will plaque for months to come.

Could be a very special meeting if your hunch is right, and, if not, you on a normal playing field.

call agency explain situation and ask if her initial of real name is this. do not say full name or evn first real name of the lady, as she may have not disclosed this to the agency but go by initial. if initial match then forget it, unless you wish for troubles of course

good luck

If you are married or in a relationship (or in a position where she can use it against you), I would pass entirely.

If you are single and you have nothing to worry about, then proceed.

Her pics are posted on an agency website, so I have no way of contacting her directly prior to our meeting.  I should have mentioned that in my initial posting.

I like serena vincente's idea of contacting the agency with initials of the person I once knew, and see what type of response I get.  

The idea of hooking up with someone in this field that I had once fantasized about in my personal life should probably stay just that, a fantasy.  

If the initials match, I wont proceed with the appointment.

I'd be horrified! Even if it was someone in my life I was attracted to, I wouldn't even open the door. It's never been something I fantasized about except as a worst-case scenario.

The difference between the men's and women's viewpoints is interesting, to say the least.

She is available as an ESCORT persona...a PERFORMER. The OP doesn't want the escort persona, it is the REAL HER he wants. For that reason, I agree that she very well could view it as a breach of privacy.

I don't know of any working girl who would give advice to go forward with this.

...upon letting the gent in the door and THEN realizing she knows him. There are many women I am sure would still go thru with the date. At that point, he already knows that you are an escort, and he knows you know he sees escorts. So you both are on an equal playing field, so to speak. Of course there would be some additional added awkwardness, but they both could survive it. Hell, he might even turn out to be a great client too! And remember the way the OP posed the scenario. The pics RESEMBLE a girl he knew, but he wasnt sure. It would only be a breach of privacy if he KNEW it was the same girl.

You could always make this inquiry:

"X-provider looks remarkably similar to a coworker I used to have in X-industry a number of years ago-- someone who I was quite attracted to.  I'm titillated by the resemblance and it has been evoking an old fantasy I used to have about spending some quality personal time with said coworker.  I wondered if X-provider would feel comfortable indulging this fantasy for me?  I would love it if she would wear insert-request-here."

Would you still be interested if she wasn't your ex-coworker but still looked remarkably similar?

This seems like a good approach to me.  It's one that initially protects your privacy a little more, while offering her the opportunity to decline the appointment if your fantasy hits TOO close to home.  Maybe it is her, and maybe she'd be interested in doing a session with you anyway.  Only one way to find out.  And this kind of inquiry would definitely clue her in that there is a possibility that you really do know each other, especially if she actually worked in X-industry a few years ago.

Arrange to meet her in a public place (hotel bar because your elevator is key operated, or some other explanation). Make sure she wears something recognizable.

You get to see her from a distance and determine if it's the person you know or just a look-alike.

If it's just a look-alike, go ahead as planned and have a good time.  Problem solved because there is no problem.

If it's the girl you knew from work, you can decide to back off and call the agency to cancel, apologize profusely and figure out how to pay the penalty or whatever.

If it's the girl you knew, walk up and pretend that you were just in the neighborhood and do NOT know about why she is there.  She'll tell you she's busy or something, I guess.  "But hey, let's get in touch some day when you're not so busy!"

If it's the girl you knew, 'fess up and see if she's still willing to see you ... 'cause maybe you'll just be driving her to extreme embarrassment and despair.

Cut! That's a wrap! Strike the hotel bar set and set up the bedroom scene!

I like that idea of checking her out from afar. Assuming she's willing to come out to meet in public.

Ugh, do NOT put her in the position of driving somewhere to meet you without knowing that the two of you might know each other.  That is a dick move and will get you nowhere.  Besides, haven't y'all learned that putting someone in a high-pressure situation like that without their knowledge is creepy and coercive?  Or do y'all who are suggesting these courses of action just not care if you act creepy and coercive?
