I'm completely new to this, so maybe I'm a bit jittery, but I just contacted a provider, asked for a time, and was scheduled. She made no attempt to screen me, and from reading here this seems uncommon.  The provider is listed here and has a lot of positive reviews.  Should I be worried?

Thanks

men who have posted other reviews? Sounds odd to me too. But maybe your initial email to her was really sweet and had enough information. ? As I am still learning the ropes here maybe I should defer.

first of all, how many reviews is "a lot?"  Also, look at the reviewers' handles and check them out (by clicking on their handle), so you can see how many reviews they have.  Start to recognize the names of seasoned reviewers you can trust.  Finally, how do you know she didn't screen you just because she didn't ask you a direct question.  Savvy screeners can check a guy out and they don't even know it.

sometimes screening gets thrown to the side since the rent/mortgage are  due, car payment maybe as well. If her reviews are current and by veteran hobbyists, you should be ok. However, without knowing more about the provider it's really hard to tell.
Are you doing incall or outcall.  Are you a vip member? Did you read the juicy details of her reviews?
There's a lot more I could ask, but I think you get my drift. Good luck. And always think with the big head not the little head.

Thanks for the responses.  
There are around 30 reviews, some by reviewers who have written dozens.  As to the second question, it was maybe a 25 second phone conversation.  I didn't even provide my name.  Maybe I just don't know how things work, but I can't imagine a way that she could have gotten any information from our conversation.

Thanks again

Some providers actually don't screen, and some screen in their own way. Maybe she just had a good feeling from your 25 second phone call. It might be out of the norm, and of course everything you read here talks about screening and verification, but the fact remains that not all do it. Now if it were a new provider with no reviews, and no screening you should stay far away. But if she has 30 plus reviews, many by reviewers with lots of reviews, then you should be fine.

(And for all you know, she may have gotten information just from your phone number)

Do you have a hobby phone?  Or is your phone linked to your real name?  If it is, get an anonymous hobby phone right away.

On the other hand, if she sees anybody with doing some degree of checking, then she ought to worry.

Then again, some gals are very perceptive when they speak to someone over the phone, and that seems to work for them.  

On a few occasions I was screened with just a phone call.
