I plan on going to a meet and greet in the near future and was wondering what are the things not to do or say? I was also wondering if people introduce themselves by their TER handle? Thanks.
Usually you have to be invited to these things, and there is usually a host. So why don't you contact the host who invited you and ask him/her?
Not all meet and greets are the same either. Different parts of the country, different hosts, different particiapants, some are little luncheon socials, some are big events. Some are in public places, some are in private. So that's even more reason to ask the host, or particiapnats in the particular one you are going to.
have fun
And the previous post is incorrect. You're only invited once you've attended one. Check the M&G board, the host announces the date of the M&G and usually the host will set up an email address for you to respond. Most hosts/hostess do NOT like pm's sent to them. You will be screened by the host, so in the email, put your references like you would if you were contacting a provider. The host will respond back to you and let you know if you're references checked out. If so, normally the day of or sometimes the day before you'll get an email letting you know the location.
Once you've been approved and attend the M&G, when the host holds another M&G you'll get an email letting you know the date of the future M&G. All you have to do then is RSVP.
M&G are like cocktail parties, so my advice, dress like you'd be going to an upscale cocktail party. You can't beleive how some hobbyist dress for these things, total slobs. The ladies will be dressed from sophisticated looks to hooker looks. As far as when you meet a lady I usually introduce myself with my handle (since I write reviews and am active on TER) then I give them my real name.
As far as discussions, depending on the provider, I'll discuss all sorts of topics. And yes I've even left a M&G with a provider. It's sometimes frowned upon, but it's often done. Go have a good time enjoy yourself and don't get there to early. As you know as most women run late to parties so do escorts, so if you show up late don't worry, matter of fact I usually show up an hour late to the M&G's I attend.
I don't believe I was incorrect.
Sure, only people who have been to a meet and greet previously will get an 'advanced' invitation, but all new people who want to attend, need to contact the host, and get screened and approved, then they get invited. It is still an invite in my book. I have never seen a m&g advertised that was open to the public.
An invitation only party one way or the other.
I was also under the assumption based on the wording of the OP that he/she was already invited to a meet and greet, and was just trying to get information on what to wear and what to expect. Of course I could be totally wrong. But when I read “I am planning to attend my first m&g,” I took it to mean the person is already going to one.
I was also assuming the OP was a provider for some reason. It is kind of hard to tell with a newbie since it doesn't say. “reviews xx,” or “see my TER reviews, ” under the handle. For some reason, “rily” seemed like a provider name to me. That and maybe the fact that several of the latest threads were started by providers, had me in provider mode.
Not all m&gs are cocktail parties. Some are rather high end. Some are simple lunches. I have heard of costume parties, backyard barbecues, pool parties, even picnics. All of those would call for different types of attire. Also in different parts of the country, different types of attire are common.
All the above reasons would point to my advice of contacting the host or participants of the particular m&g the OP is planning to attend, to answer his/her questions, rather than asking on a nationwide discussion board.
I didn't say anything wrong.
You could have provided your additional information to the OP without bashing my post.
Have a good day.
PS
him/her your reference information.
Dress like you would for an upscale cocktail party, not a ballgame. Some guys make plans in advance to see a provider after the M & G, others play beforehand during the afternoon, after the M & G, or the next day. There is no "right way" to do this. Sometimes it is a good idea to have some extra cash just in case you end up doing a double.
M & G's are often held in private settings but not so private that it becomes a grab-ass event. I have heard that M & G in Vegas are somewhat wilder.
Relax and enjoy. It will be like being in a candy store because the ladies are dressed to impress.
it was great! As a newbie provider, I had a preconception of hobbyist/provider as such and such, but it totally changed my fear about them.
People were so nice to me and it was fun! The only thing I fear is that if it's a big party, I might run into somebody I know since I have a double life(I am a grad student and I know many people socially). I don't want to meet my future employer!!!
Are there anybody run into people who know you at those parties?
So I made a date with a provider that I had my eye on for a while, had asked in advance if I could go with her, and afterwards we went to the party together. She was introduced me around a bit to some of her friends. I soon lost my nervousness and began to feel comfortable and more at ease. My "escort" came over to me periodically during the evening to see how I was doing. It was a very nice way to enter the M&G world and I am glad that I had her companionship to ease the way. I have been to a few since.
Good luck!
