Welcome to the hobby may it treat you well!

Some tips.  First and foremost, use the search feature in the forums to locate threads of pertinate info.  This is a big help.

Two don't discuss specifics on the phone.  Most girls will either have rates posted on their web site or ads or will bring it up themselves.  Don't talk money and activities in the same conversation.  It should all be pretty easy to figure out, but if in doubt, ASK.

DON'T discuss money in person.  Just bring it in an envelope (not sealed, she's going to open it) and leave it on the table or whatever.

Tell the provider you are new to the hobby as it might make a difference in how she does things.

If you don't have references (which you won't till you play) tell her honestly.  Some providers will not see you until you do, others (me) have other ways they screen new guys.

Please take a BATH before your date.  You wouldn't believe the conversations we girls have privately regarding this...

And if you have to cancel or reschedule please CALL her as far ahead as possible.  If you cancel at the last minute a reasonable consolation gift would be in order since she may have turned away other clients to see you.

With that, have fun, play safe.  And if you ever get bored with the regular girls...

Hugs,
