I'm looking for a regular but I'm very concerned going into first dates…as opposed to civie encounters the consequences are huge. It's stressing to the point that I cannot really enjoy a first encounter. I'm about to give up, and lead a lonely life, ha ha. There's one I want to try, she's got great reviews, steamy twitter, how do I know someone is legit?

If she has multiple reviews, by veteran reviewers, chances are almost 100% she's legit. But nothing about the hobby is 100%

and hopefully some here will check it for you and explain how they checked so you can learn from them.

Yes, she has multiple reviews going back a few years, in the top ten of my city, and some of her reviewers are whitelisted as well.

If she is well reviewed with reviews by veteran reviewers, go for it, she is most likely very legit.  Just remember, this hobby always has risks, just do what you can to minimize them.  With any provider you want to see, do the research on her.

There are many threads that talk about the research on a provider on this forum.

Swim

if she's well reviewed and you have no references. Don't be too disappointed if you get ignored or turned down. It'll get easier once you get past the first two appointments.

I've seen maybe 7 providers and I pass screening but I'm not as reckless/naive as I was at first. How common is bumping into uncle Leo?
