Re: They are looking to sleep with a governor. Did you say . . .

you were from NY or SC?

i always ask.  really, i am just making conversation, getting to know my clients.  usually after they tell me what they do, i'll ask some more questions about it.  then if i see them again, i can ask how work is going, did you have a hard day at the office, etc.  i ask other questions too, but that seems to be the first.  no one has ever been offended by it, most clients love to talk to me about their lives, and i am truly interested.  the better i know you, the easier it is for me to please you.  that's how i look at it.  and i think my personality makes it easy for people to tell me things, cause i'm super laid back and just easy to talk to.  but if you are really uncomfortable disclosing your profession, just say that.  or change the subject.  i think she'll get the hint.  

What information to share?

Some provider and/or agencies will ask you for a provider reference, i.e. who have you seen in the past.  

The rationale, despite its flaws, is for them to verify you are not LE or some that has violent tendencies.    

Some have this detailed personal reference form that is very comprehensive -- and, asks you for your birthday, work place address, work number, work email address, etc.  This is where you need to be careful for a number of reasons.

First and foremost discretion goes both ways.  In this instance, id the provider/agency is not willing to share more information about themselves pass.  

Secondly, all email correspondence is stored on mail servers and despite you or the agency destroying the email; it still resides on the mail server until the ISP does a sweep.  This could be anywhere from 3-6 months.

Besides, meta data associated with email exchanges can easily help LE to reconstruct the dialogue.  And, not only that pinpoints both your exact location!

Some agencies maintain profiles about clients.  Make sure you ask them whether or not they do. And, if they do what is maintained.  
In the event of a bust, you want to maintain your annoymity.  

Thirdly, ensure whatever information you offer up doesn't incriminate you in anyway.

Best way to schedule an appointment is by phone.  Be brief and direct.  

Hope this helps!
