You can also join one of the verification sites until you get some references.

I'm all for security, but some girls go too far. Look for newbie friendly or use an agency. Be sure to give reviews - tit or tat, pun intended.

First, LEARN the rules of the game, especially if you have been away for a while.  Read through the self help section.  Read back on this board...  review:
2 call system
hobby phone
hobby email
well reviewed providers (watch your local ad board and also recent reviews for your area, by city & by area code)  At this point you'll need VIP to read the full reviews.

Do not try to BS a provider.  (She'll sense it & be afraid of a sting or robbery or worse!)  State up front you've been away for a while.  Ask what she would need to feel comfortable seeing a Newbie.   If you can give what she needs, you're in.   I don't like the "forms"...  I email most of the same information but humanize it a bit.
As always, never discuss the donation & any specific activity.  Just request an appointment.  Give enough lead time for her to check you out but not so much that she forgets about you.  I find 7-10 days is a good target...  sometimes I've been surprised at the approval & ended up meeting in 3-4 days since I was available days.

As a provider, I agree with the responses given.  I would simply add show the lady some respect while you are interacting before hand and that will go a long way.  Also you will get approved for appointment much quicker in my opinion if you are a member of one of the verification sites like P411 or date-check.  Happy Hobbying.

I don't want to pay $12.95 a month and have another recurring bill on my card to prove I'm not a cop. There must be a better way. I just got turned away because my reviews on TER are for massages and not good enough for them. So bummed!
