There is a provider on bp I been thinking of checking out but I havnt seen any reveiws yet. I sent an e mail got a respond searched the e mail and the pics on website matched

I am also a fairly new provider with no posted reviews.  (3 guys have tried but none posted yet).  Does she have her own website?  Google her phone number.  If I were in her shoes and you asked me for a reference I would be willing to give you one.  Of course you are planning to give her your screening info. right?  What about Datecheck?

I can't speak for everyone, but I am just getting established on the web. So, I don't have any reviews. I would say to go with your gut. That is what my mother always told me, and your gut will never lead you the wrong way! I practice that in my every day life and it has never put me in harms way!

as a fellow newbie i have to say dont' go with anyone with no reviews.  just too much downside when you can get a sure thing with a well reviewed girl.

paranoid is not always bad...  

I'd mark this one hold, pending reviews & put in my to do future file.

anyone seen Ms. Who?

Well, your gut, sure. Who would follow your gut? You've got a nice gut. I wouldn't trust my gut as far as I could throw it. I'm not even speaking to my gut. I wouldn't even piss on my gut if it was on fire.

Wait. What were we talking about?

Oh yeah. Providers without reviews.

I've decided that providers who have no reviews because they're still getting established, like Courtesan21 here, are probably worth the risk. Their rates tend to be reasonable and they're eager to please.

Well established providers who charge premium rates and still have no reviews because they are, supposedly, above such things, should be avoided.

Same deal, just getting started and there's an obvious lack of ambition to see new providers without reviews or anything to back them.

I dunno.  As the provider wanting new business I say go for it.  As the pragmatist I say wait until she's got something posted on her before you take a chance.

Go with your gut, that's the fallback.  Talk to her on the phone or in email if you can and if you're feeling bad about it or dodgy, don't do it.  Gut instinct is usually right.

After a few dates, a guy devolupes a spidy sense when things seem ok or not...  we do this by having some successful dates so one out of the norm stand out.  Experienced hobbiests can get disappointed too...  but we know & accept our tollerance for risk (TOFTT) or we don't do it.  

Before I found TER, I had some disaapointing dates.  This doesn't happen anymore.

It is good that you're learning to search & check before jumping into things.  Did you search reviews with stage name & phone number separately?  A lady's name is her reputation & reliable providers value theirs like gold.  Phone numbers not so much...  more often changed for security reasons.

I would suggest you find some well reviewed ladies to break in with.  Check the new reviews heading to see who's active in your area & then check them out.  You're bound to find someone if you check occasionally.

Thanks for sticking up for me again!

Sometimes you need to take one for the team. But using your gut is a great idea
