obviously, most agree that the safest, best way to hobby is to go with a well-reviewed provider whose reviewers have multiple reviews.

but like most men, sometimes its hard not to want to make an exception for a particularly appealing provider that isn't well-reviewed.

in this case - a relatively new girl on cityvibe. she has one review on TER, from someone who has only 4 reviews.  the review seems legit, but that doesnt mean much.

i know craigslist is notorious for rip-offs or LE - is cityvibe any different?  does it matter that she has photos from a studio that seemingly does a lot of other (well-reviewed) girls' photos?is it worth calling her just to get a better sense if she's legit? my main concern is avoiding LE.

thanks for your thoughts!

How new are you at this?

Have you developed some sixth senses yet?

For what it's worth, I have seen a couple of gals from Cityvibe and they were fine, but they did have several TER reviews as well.

It's always good to ask on the local boards also.

Good luck with this and let us know how it went.

i'm not overly new to this - but my limited past experiences have been with known agencies (its been years though, before i knew about TER).

we'll see how my instincts are once i talk to her.  i'll definitely be looking for any red flags (if she doesnt screen me, or discusses services, etc.). we'll see...

...contact the provider's one reviewer via PM and ask him about her.  If you don't have TER's VIP status, you can't do this.  So step 1 may actually have parts A) & B) to it.

Step 2:  wait a bit...let the hard-on subside.  Process the info you've gleaned from your PM, if you've gotten a reply.  If you've got no reply, then waiting makes all the more sense.  And by waiting, I mean SEVERAL DAYS!!!  Have any more reviews come up?  Or, has another girl's review(s) come up, that now look as (if not more) appealing?  All kinds of possibilities can present themselves while waiting.

Step 3: (concurrent with Step 2) inquire about her through your local boards, and check other escort review sites.  Something may reveal itself.  Steps 1-3 are your basic homework.  Now no homework would be complete if you didn't do an extensive search on TER to make sure she didn't already have an old Profile Page laying around (probably with shoddy reviews).  So do a search under her name & then her phone number, to see what comes up.  Perhaps she used to go by another name?  All the more reasons, steps 1-3 are important.

Step 4: after you're satisfied that you've done steps 1-3 and there's no red flags telling you to move on to another, then you can contact her.  Follow her preferred method of contact if it's spelled out on her website.  Even if it's just email, you should get a sense of what she's like.  Another reason you should get steps 1-3 out of the way before step 4 is because once you contact her, things may start to progress quickly.  She's not going to want you to himhaw around with her.  In fact, your first contact with her should include you letting her know WHEN you'd be interested in seeing her (be sure to give her adequate time).

Step 5: provided everything in steps 1-4 have gone well,... TOFTT!!!

Step 6: write a review on TER!

your only experience in the hobby is the two reviews you have written, then you might want to search again for a more established lady.
