Tipping is NOT required, but as the ladies say "always appreciated"

No you don't have to be an "upscale gentleman".  Just be respectful, follow the rules of the lady, show up on time, be "fresh" ( just showered works and fresh breath)  and get the donation correct.

You can say anything you want but it's not standard to discuss services and rates on the phone. For example, you would NOT say "I'm just making sure I can get a bj for $150." That's a no no.

It's appropriate for me to ask about her looks and figure since there's a lot of bait and switch out there. If you're not into heavy girls, you have a right to ask about her weight. This saves your time and hers.

Onto your second issue is getting hit for additional money. This is a typical agency scam. Personally, I avoid agencies and only deal with independents who rarely pull that move.

It's standard practice that the rate posted in her ad is the rate. Meaning, if she posts "full service" for $200/hr that means you're having sex for $200. It's rare that she takes your $200, then says that's "for my time" and it's another $200 for sex. That's a scam and be avoided by only seeing well reviewed girls.

When she arrives, have the money on a desk or in the bathroom. She'll want to spend a few minutes feeling you out to make sure you're not LE. Just be yourself - which is hopefully nice, polite and funny.

Q:I need to know etiquette for calling and arranging time. What do I say, what do I not say.

A: Call and politely ask her if she is available at the date and time that you are interested in seeing her on. Tell her how long of an appointment you would would like.  Do not discuss specific sexual acts.  If she has not advertised her rates clearly you can ask how long she charges for the amount of time that you want to book but do it discretely.

Q:Is tipping required? Will I think I'm paying so much money for the hour, but she tells me she needs another 200 in addition?

A:Tipping is not required.  The situation you outlined is an "up-sell". Legitimate providers don't do this.  If you have done your research and chosen well this should not be a problem. Stick with well-reviewd providers with a track record as a newbie.

Qo you have to be an "upscale gentleman" if they are asking for that? I think I'm of average looks, and if I have the money, does it matter?

A:  You have to be a gentleman. Don't haggle with her, treat her rudely or over-stay your welcome. The term "upscale" is really fairly meaningless.  If you pass screening and conduct yourself in a polite and respectable manner you will qualify.

Q:What kind of etiqutte for when she arrives?

A: Have the donation in plain site. Do not make her ask for it.  Be showered, clean and polite. Don't ask her to do anything unsafe. If it's an out call you could certainly ask her ahead about what sort of beverages she prefers. Always have them available in a sealed container.

Treat an escort the way you would treat any woman that you are seeing for the first time.  The big difference of course is that you already know that you are gong to get lucky!
