New here and just  3 forgetable encounters via wackpage. Help a guy that  will  be a quality reviewer and kick ass host to providers as I do not do incalls mostly if  not ever. Im in a really Nice room frustrated and might just give up but hopefully someone here assists and I I will reciprocate with in my reach... cheers.

fyi 31, slender, clean light complexion successful professional and verifiable all over the internet if I see I too can disclose without drama.. win win situations are  the way I operate.. tks..

Have you read the self help center? Do you have VIP membership so you can read the juicy details of the review? Many will tell you wackpage isn't the place to shop, and for newbs I would agree. But if you insist shopping there make sure they have reviews, and just because the ad says well reviewed don't believe it. Try shopping on the regional ad board, if the city you want to hobby in has a listing.

if you read the regional ads it will give you an idea of who is in your area and then you can read the lady's reviews and contact her regarding what you might need to set up a date.

waiting til the last minute usually does not work out well btw.  We are not like ordering a pizza, you can't call and expect delivery in 30 min or less.

I don't think you started out giving yourself much of a chance.  

Here are some suggestions, get VIP membership here.  Read reviews, that's called research.  Stick to well-reviewed providers.  Read the self help center.  Join one or more of the 3 large verification sites, depending on where you are.

Stay away from backpage.  Go back on this forum and read some of the threads devoted to how newbies should begin, there are plenty of them.    You say you have a light complexion, does that mean you are a light-skinned black man, or just a fair-skinned white guy?  Most quality providers won't care about that, except those that will not see black guys.

Preferreed411, a verification site, does let their provider members indicate if they are newbie friendly, that's a good place to look.  You can search  on here for newbie friendly providers as well.  You also indicate your age, and many providers will not see guys under 35 or so, that is something else for you to look for.

Hope this helps.  If you have questions, feel free to PM me, I am the host of this board.

Your research should include the boxes performed as promised, real pictures, accurate pictures.  Follow the links to her ads & pictures.  Then read the full reviews.  Mere presence of reviews does not mean they are good.  Sometimes ads link to the worst reviews!!  
Part of this is searching your area...  by location & area codes this gives you a good idea who is working in your area.  
But Newbies should see "well reviewed" providers with 6-10 reviews & some by experienced reviewers...  this should avoid most of the scams & poor performers.  If you've already had 3 poor dates...  you've spent more than the cost of VIP!
