Almost 21, a college student, and quite frankly lonely.  

Seriously considering trying an escort service. But too nervous I will get robbed, in a sting, or worse.  

Don't want to risk my life/future for it.

Any advice for a contemplating newcomer in this business?

I'm a fairly new person to the hobby as well.  My first foray was off a provider listing, and I regret it. I should have gone off of the reviews I've read here.  That's the advantage to selecting a provider through TER; you can take a look at a potential provider, and know what to expect.  

That said, keep an eye open for providers in your area, and the reviews associated with them.  Also keep in mind how many reviews a potential escort has; more could mean that they see a lot of clients.  Another thing: Unless you're a TER VIP and can see the specifics, know that there are rules that some escorts have -- no kissing, no barebacking, no fingering, etc.  If you're looking for something that intimate, keep an eye out for providers who offer GFE's -- GirlFriend Experiences.  

Again, take it from someone who's only had two experiences thus far;  I'm sure some of the more seasoned hobbyists can provide far more info.

Now that you've found out about TER, utilize the site to help you make a well-informed decision.
You won't get robbed if you're seeing "well reviewed" providers.

Also, you mentioned being lonely.
Seeing a provider is only a temporary fix.
You'll feel great for hours, days, maybe weeks.

Advice for you: do not text/email a provider endlessly before and/or after your date with her.
Providers don't like that.
Don't fall in love, don't develop feelings.
It's a paid arrangement.

There's a lot FAQs there to help get you started.
Also, go back couple weeks and read some of the posts on this board. You will see lots of advice on getting started.
Get yourself verified (P411, Date-Check, etc).
Purchase a TER VIP membership (at least 1 month) so you can search provider profiles and reviews and you will also be able to contact other TER members (clients and providers) directly by Private Message (PM).
Look for a provider who is "newbie friendly" and has lots of recent reviews by active reviewers. Visit her website to find out about her rates, screening requirements, etiquette, etc. After you have done all this contact the lady. Use her web screening form or I prefer emailing her with the info she requires and your date request. (Note: some ladies do have an age preference which may be stated on their website).  Just be polite and do not mention anything about money or specific "acts" in your email.  Best of luck to you.

But, I feel compelled to point out that IMO, seeing escorts is NOT the cure for loneliness.  A lonely man is far more emotionally susceptible (especially a lonely young man), and more likely to mistake the emotions of the moment for more than it is.  It can relieve your horniness, it can even help you gain experience and become more comfortable with ladies in general.  But if your primary motivation is just because you are lonely, I would advise extreme caution.  Not necessarily trying to dissuade you, it's just that you need to be fully aware that P4P is not dating, even though that euphemism is often used.  Just my 2 cents.

With that said, if you choose to go forward, read and follow the advice given by the others, prepare yourself, and have a great time!

They are a good way to get comfortable with etiquette and be assured as you disrobe and lay naked in front of a strange woman - at your age with likley limited sex experience, you should take it slowly.  You don't need references, and if you pick ones that have been established for a while (and have reviews), you won't get robbed;  You may only get HR at first, but particularly if you repeat with engloish speakers, you'll get comfortable conversing, touching them, being polite and respectful, and then when you see a full escort, you'll be a ot more comfortable and get a better experience for your money.

I started off at AMPs and MPs back in the 1970s and 1980s.  But lately these places have become lightning rods for LE and immigration, busts are common.

I would instead go with highly reviewed providers and avoid the risk of getting busted at an MP.

Gotta agree here. I started with AMPs/body rubs and while it was a "gateway drug" it was also kind of a waste of time, risky and stressful. These days, if I want a massage, I go get a great one for $60, and if I want the full escort experience, I pick a great lady on TER or p411.

An intermediate solution is the K-girl agencies, but their screening is notoriously difficult.

My suggestion for starting is to get p411 and send emails to a couple of well-reviewed newbie friendly providers.
