Well, I am new to all of this... I found somebody I would liek to meet and they ask for references, what do I give as a reference? I mean I don't want other people knowing what I am doing... help please?

Hi!  Giving a reference is very common among escorts/companions.  As much as we would like to see you and spend time with you we must verify that you are who you say you are.  We must be able to protect ourselves just as well as you want discreetion.  A reference usually consists of another provider you have seen in the past...a phone number for her or an e-mail address.  If you have not seen another provider...it is your first time...then we ask for a work phone number...we will never let your job know the reason we are calling...all we ask is verification you are employed with them.  This question is asked by many different people.  For all they know it is a credit card verification, loan application, ect...So don't worry...discrection among providers is of the upmost importance!  Now....go and have fun without any fear that anyone will know whatyou are up to!  
Kisses,
Cassie

I have the problem of no references and disabled so no job.  The provider I was seeing retired and can't provide a reference.  What advice do you have for me?

I tried to schedule an appointment through an agency.  It was my first time attempting to do so.  The agency asked for some information, like my work #, occupation, etc., which I provided.  Then the agency asked what service I wanted.  I was reluctant to come right out and say it because I didn't think that I should say I want GFE, DATY and FS.  So, I just kind of said I wanted a massage and some fun.  The agency then said that they would call my work and if that was verified, they would set the appointment.  The call never came.  My question is--is there a code word or soemthing or is it ok to come right out and use the acronyms?

Some ladies are very strict regarding their screening methods, others are a little more reliable. You may just need to call around until you find someone who is willing to see you based on having a phone conversation.
I employ several screening techniques. If someone calls me who has never seen a provider, normally I go by my very well-honed instinct about a person. I will also sometimes use the meet and greet method. If I'm not 100% sure about someone then I will ask if they would like to meet for a drink publicly somewhere. This gives us the opportunity to chat a bit, I can verify that they are who they say they are, and I can tell if the chemistry will carry us through.
My best advice is shop around...it's true there are some ladies that you will not be able to see, but there are plenty of others that will see you. Happy hobbying. xxx Octavia.

It is really against all good sense to use the words you mentioned in a phone conversation... My advice is to do a TER search in your area for providers that have everything you are looking for. I personally think independants are a lot more accomidating than agencies though rip-offs do occasionally happen with both. Look for someone with good reviews and you should be fine though...
