I'm a newbie at this, and whomever I set up an appointment with will be my 1st time with a provider. I'd prefer to do outcall, as incall seems a little too "clinical" for me, at least for my initial foray into this.

I have a myriad of questions, so here goes:

- When making the hotel reservation should I use an alias or my real name? If an alias, I'll obviously have to pay cash. But if no alias, is it adviseable to pay with a credit card?

- Same question with regard to the provider: give her an alias or my real name?

- Is it a general practice to call up the provider during the middle of the week to set up a weekend appointment? Or do they prefer same day appointments?

What I'd like to do is set up a weekend appointment. Once that's confirmed, reserve the hotel room, then give the provider my hotel info. On the appointed date I'd give the provider a call once I check in, giving her my room number several hours ahead of the appointment (I do not own a cell phone, so I'd be calling her from my room phone...whick of course brings up the whole blocked number question, discussed in an earlier thread).

BTW, I plan to make an appointment with a CL provider who by all accounts seems legit, although no TER reviews yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

1 Buy a throw away cell phone it's not traceable back to you ie Tracfone A lot of ladies will not see somebody that doesn't have a cell
2 Unless she is a whaked out crack whore you are going to give your real name and employment info enough that make her feel comfotable,
3 Stay off CL 90% bad news
4 Most professional indies don't do same day appts I know but I said most.
5 The hotels I stay in usualy want an imprint of my card even though I made and paid at Travelocity I don't know how you can keep from usyng your real name
6 I have used the get a room call with number system for over two years now. Works for me
7 IMHO outcalls are much safer than incalls

what is a CL provider and y should i stay away from them? and y a throw away cell phone?

Just a few thoughts:

I don't make outcalls to properties unless the client is from out of town. Maybe in your thoughts a hotel is safer for the client but definitely not safer for the provider.

I also don't make outcalls to every property in town (*I know specific security people with specific properties and feel safer there*) I only mention that because the provider that you are seeking may only frequent specific properties as well. ~You might need to ask her~

Also.. if you do decide to get a hotel room and the charges are an issue... You can get cc that is not tied to your SS or reflect on any credit report if that is a concern.

In regards to the cell phone... not sure, I verify and set a comfort level before arranging an appointment time, so I am not always trippin' (*worrying over*) a call back. I guess I screen a little more intensely than most, so I guess that varies. (I definitely would go through the hassle of getting a non traceable cell phone)

As far as using an alias with the provider, I would hope the provider is screening a little more serious than that. If not "red flag"

Mostly...Do your homework, read what is available and if you need to then back channel (or private message) other hobbyists with questions about specific providers.

"I plan to make an appointment with a CL provider who...seems legit, although no TER reviews yet.

...O.k., you want help?  Well, you need help and you need to re-think a few things.  First off, you should NOT be seeing a CL girl with no reviews. Period. If you're a first-time newb, as you've indicated, then double exclamation point!!  If you've got more money than sense, then set aside your bail money with a lawyer.  Secondly, don't be so set on outcall.  Find the right provider first....One who has MANY solid reviews from reviewers who have written lots of reviews.  If she prefers outcall at a nice hotel, then fine.  If she prefers incall at a nice hotel, then that is fine and YOU'RE NOT PAYING for the room.  If she's an agency girl and she offers incall at an apartment or house be wary.  This could be a high volume location that has attracted the attention of LE and could get raided.  Likewise, if she's an agency girl and she offers a cheap MOTEL (with the doors opening directly outside), get there early and scope things out. If she's a well-reviewed indy and her incall is a house or appt., then you should be o.k.  Finally, don't discuss money or the nature of her services.  You'll know what to expect from her reviews.  Now, if the little head keeps steering back to the hottie from CL, wait.  Wait until you've gotten some experience, and hopefully by that time, someone will have reviewed her.

jjackflash has some valuable info here.  For those new enough to not know, CL is Craigslist, and while there are some good finds there, most are not.  It's not a place for the untrained eye.

This question is an example of how newbies get in trouble...hot picture; no reviews; little head gets WAAAY too involved in decision making.  I'm not bagging on you...we've all been there, and that's why we play on TER.

Good luck...

I offer incall and outcall but believe that incall is VERY safe if the gentleman reads reviews and sees other reviewers' comments about the lady's incall location.

But doesn't somebody have to be first?

I know, that somebody does not have to be me.

Is the biggest concern about the review:
a) chance of bad service
b) could be LE
c) chance of it being a set-up
d) all of the above
e) all of the above and I left a few out
