I had my first time last night... as the provider, of course.  It went amazingly well and since I know he reads the boards: THANK YOU!!!

He was amazing.  Sweet, patient, very willing to just help me along since I had no idea of the rules or etiquette.  I mentioned this in a post on the general board but I wanted to make sure he sees this one.

Hon, you are really and truly awesome.  Thank you for a wonderful night.  I had a really good time and I feel so much better about this now.

He sounds like a very lucky guy! Congratulations on your entry into the business Sascha.  Glad it went so well for you.

I wish you continued success. Be smart, stay safe!

Glad everything went well for you, this is just an entry for you, things will come more naturally to you as time goes on!! Have fun and be safe!

was a success.  Please do not let your guard down regarding screening.  Most hobbyists are great guys but there are wierdos out there that you need to avoid.

Stick to your business plan and you will be successful.  Good luck!

Aw, thank you Key.

As to the screening, it's a bit hard to do it right now but the responses I've been getting are just as guarded as I am.  Still in the Catch22 somewhat but it's getting better.

I appreciate the warm words both cautionary and otherwise.

Sascha

Sascha,
Congradulations on getting started.  Even though intended for the guys, you can get a lot of tips from the Newbie Manual...  at the top of this board.  I dare say there are a lot of questions that you might have...  reading back a few pages on the Newbie board and at least scanning the others will help you greatly.  
YOU must always be discrete.  Keep a low profile.  Change rooms daily.  Use a separate phone.  
Best Wishes,
skb

I do like that manual, SKB.  I've learned so much from it but I'll be honest, I'm way better face to face.  Sit me down, talk to me, tell me what I'm doing wrong and I'll make sure it's right.  I think that's why I like these boards, it's like having a conversation with someone.  The ladies here are very helpful as well and I've been building my acumen every day.

My gentleman was also extremely helpful.  I may do as he commented and put a suggestion box on my bottom, heh.  I just don't know what to hang it from.  

most important thing is be yourself and be relaxed no matter what guys will honor you for that.  You'll do fine ... like you said you read up... but theeeeeee best experience is learning as you go.  I have to stress being as I am bi... just be honest and you will build a customer base.

Thank you, Amber.  I'm trying.  I have to say, you ladies have been awesome with the tips and advice and I really, really appreciate it.

I know I will make mistakes.  I'm sure I've made one or two even on these boards, but I'm learning FAST.  It's amazing how much you can glean just from reading what you all have to say.

Again, thank you.
