Thank you very much for the quick replies. I think I'll contact 411 tomorrow and see if they can help me out. I really am the worst demographic for hobbyist, inexperienced, young (24), and no big company job reference. On the bright side, once I book with a provider she might be nice enough to give me the future reference I need. Again thank you for the help.

Hi, I'm new to the board as well as the hobby and I was all excited and ready to book with a provider in the Los Angeles area, but upon reading the forums it seems like you won't get any decent provider to see you without a screening. Naturally that's a good thing because I makes it safe and secure for everyone, but in my case I make glass artwork for a living and sometimes I design websites part time. Both jobs are self-employment. That doesn't give me a solid job reference and I haven't been with any providers on TER yet.

I have only done this one time before with a provider from the LAweekly paper that didn't ask for any type of reference. Likewise I don't even think she knew about agencies and screening and all that stuff so I don't think I can ask her to reference me.

I know I'm not giving a whole lot to work with but I really really would appreciate any advise on the situation. I'm willing to give any information a provider ask for but I just don't have much to give other than my name, phone number and website urls.

with a verification site, P411, Date-Check, or RS2K, I'm sure those may help a little...

Many ladies will accept sites like date-check and preferred 411 as references. You might have some difficulties getting verified with them without work info, though. Still, might be worth a shot.

I'm sure most reputable providers will give you a reference. If you're in doubt, when you contact her initially you could ask, "do you give references to gentlemen with whom you've had a successful date?"

Obviously she can't guarantee you a reference before you meet, but I'm sure she'll be able to advise you of her policy in general.

Thank you Alex for the link to date-check on your site.

Search (upper right) for verification services.

Then, read the newbie manual and several pages here on the newbie board.  You will see that in a 3-4 page review, several topics appear frequently.

Us retired guys have similar issues.  Many ladies have alturnate screening methods.  It might take a little longer...

Try signing up with preferred411 or date check. These sites offer client verification to providers so they know you are who you say you are.
