I have started checking reviews on here and searching ads on CityVibe and Backpage for my first girl to meet.  I have found several I want to meet on those sites and have started communication via email.  Most I haven't seen reviewed on here so it makes me suspicious.  They get back to me and ask me to join their website ([email protected]) for $1 OR send me pics and say they are very new at it.  When asked, they claim they don't want to be reviewed and are trying to keep it private.  I have a pretty good bullshit detector and it seems like a scam.  I don't want my first adventure or two to end up with LE involved.  Can I get some advice on these types of responses?

Responses asking you to pay are not LE, they are however a scam. Stay away from them.  Stick to well reviewed TER women for the time being.

Have u tried EROS GUIDE?
Lot's of well reviewed ladies!

With the search options here on TER, no need to look elsewhere.  If you don't have VIP, get it.  The cost is way less than one date gone bad.
