I have had 2 great experiences due to this site. For everyone that takes care and helps keep the hobby alive I want to give you a hug and a sincere salute.

now here is my dilemma.... When I call a provider what are the first words that should come out of my mouth ?

also how do you ask for a special price ?

do most providers do ymmv ?

Might I  humbly suggest that since you had, said "great experiences due to this site". That you put up reviews of these fine ladies.Not only does it tell "us" ( us - being guys that do reviews) what kind of lady and experience you prefer. But in this particular instance , it gives"us" the benefit of knowing we are not giving info to LE.
Mr.SWIM  and his associates always suggest VIP , then they suggest doing your research and seeing well- reviewed providers...But there would be no well reviewed providers for any to see if "us " did not put up reviews.
Now to your answers...hi my name is--- ,I saw your ad  on-----btw your very pretty-----
Do you have any specials that I might not be aware of?
As to the ymmv(your mileage may vary) it is a term used by "us" to denote that "us"  feel because of any number of factors that our experience ( that we are sharing , )could be different for the next  guy.
If you have submitted reviews already ..then tyvm

...If she has a choice of another guy who doesn't inquire about specials and a haggler looking for a deal, which one do you think she'll choose?

A provider isn't like a restaurant that has specials which aren't on the menu.  If she has specials, they'll be in her ad.  By asking for a special, you're really just asking for a discount and she'll think you're a cheapskate.  She'll be right too.  If you can't afford what's on the menu, go to a fast food restaurant.

Discussing price is a big NO NO.  You should start with TER's most recent ads & your research should work back to her ads & reviews.  IF & ONLY IF you see find an ad with a Special Advertized you can inquire if it is still valid.  I discourage it.  In most cases, Specials are packages which are for shorter times or lesser included services.  Until you are alone together it is hard to ask about an ad you have seen.  Be very careful or the next thing you hear might be a "click" followed by a dial tone.  Never discuss acts.

In my own experience, I have been offered several "off the menu" type items; often only after knowing the gal for some period of time.

You should not ask about them, especially on the first few dates, and you should always be as respectful of her boundaries as you can.

Only then may you enjoy the benefits of YMMV.

thank you for the advice.
yes I have posted the review however the other one coulld not be done since I saw her about 2 years ago. She is still being reviewed and she is a great provider.
