I've come across several providers recently that were reveiwed but didn't list their rates. It's my understanding that you never talk about rates with a provider (not on the phone and not in the room). So how do you determine what the providers rates are? At some point is it ok to ask about rates? I would certainly it would be ok to ask before meeting the provider.

Thanks for your help.

I see that as an invitation to all kinds of problems when we meet.

If she is reviewed, there should be rates listed on her profile.  Before the meeting, ask her if the rates shown on her profile are correct.  If you don't get a satisfactory answer, then move on.

I've also wondered what is the proper way. Last time I asked within our email exchange after I had been screened but the question was ignored so I went with the rate on review and was prepared to pay more if she had increased her rate. She did count it and didn't mention anything so it must have been right.
Now I'm yet again faced with the same question as I'm about to book someone for 2hr that only has listed 1hr rate.

What is the donation for your time? should suffice.  Like others, I do not like asking how much, so I generally avoid providers who do not have rates posted somewhere.  

Also, often times, she may have different rates on different locations, so it would not hurt to make sure which rate is the current one that you should use.  Again, a discrete question, like "Is the rate on such-and-such site the correct amount for your time"?  should suffice.

This is a common problem now that sites like Backpage and Escorts are deleting prices from ads, often without the provider's awareness. Sometimes, you just need to dig a little deeper. They might be buried in the text or back on the contact page of her website. Or google may turn up other postings where they're included. Another option is to PM one of her recent reviewers.

When her TER profile, which could be outdated, is all I could find, I'll put that in her envelope and carry a few extra bills in a pocket just in case. Then, I'll discreetly confirm the amount once I'm sure we're cool with each other, which is usually in a matter of seconds. You just don't want to walk in and lead off by raising a question about the money.

If you can't find anything online, then discreetly tell her you haven't been able to find her suggested donation and ask where it can be found. She'll either point you to it or, more likely, just tell you her rates. There's a chance she'll think you're a cop and hang up, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Personally, I've never made this a prime criteria in choosing to meet a girl. I also wouldn't book a girl I haven't already seen for two hours.

If a lady doesn't list her rates, then you have to ask, eventually. Don't lead with the question. Usually you can find some indication of rates. If she is reviewed, there should be at least one rate listed under cost of services.

In any case, there are sometimes where a rate is not to be found. In those instances, I ask how much is your donation for an hour of your time? No mention of sex. If you have exchanged a few e-mails, and have set up a date, then usually she is comfortable responding.

Just ask!

some mis-informed providers think that by not listing the rates are safe from prosecution..how silly that is??
