This along with "What does (**fill in the acronym**) mean?" are the 2 most asked Newbie questions.

Check the “search messages” feature atop the page, and use the word “references” as a key word.

  Long answer short; Ya’ just gotta slog it out and get a few doors slammed in your face until you’ve established credibility.

RS2K and other verification services will eventually work for you, as there are many ladies who prefer this level of verification.  There are also many ladies that will work with you despite having no references, via the employment verification route.  Just be sure to have several candidates to be your first booking, and you will almost certainly have a successful first time experience!

I'm a fellow Midwest newbie, and I had my first time very recently. I wasn't interested in trying just anyone, but had a very specific lady in mind. Not only did she say that she required references, but she said she was being particularly picky in her acceptance of any new clients at all. I figured I wouldn't have much of a shot.

So I filled out her form and then filled out a follow-up e-mail. I told her who I was and told her exactly why I was specifically interested in meeting with her (why the details on her website and blogs matched many of my own preferences). I guess it worked like a charm, because we established a friendly line of communication and I got an appointment in short order.

I think the combination of honesty and sincere flattery worked its magic and made her decide to take a chance on me. We're still in touch and both looking forward to the next appointment.

This sort of thing may be specific to the lady I chose, but I suspect a similar approach might work for others as well. Good luck!

You should be able to find a lady on RS2K who will accept just that verification. Not all ladies require additional references. As suggested before, just make sure you have more than one candidate, and you'll do fine.

Good Luck
