great reviews doesn't mean they have to be a 9 or a 10..if you were very critical and hurtful NO, you probably won't get good references, but a reference only implys that they have seen you and that your "safe" and not LE  NOW, if we share any other info thats between providers, but you have nothing to loose by asking anyway.
There are plenty of girls on here that do their own checks if you have nothing to offer..but i do suggest Date-Check or Preferred411  they do the hard part ..Good Luck

I'd be curious to hear whether white list entries are actually helpful to anyone. I have a few but I've never had any provider look at them or use them to screen me. They probably aren't worth the time it takes to request them.

The more important issue is have providers give you references for new providers. In that case, you really don't need to ask the previous provider, although it would be polite. You can just give their names and contact info to a new provider and see what happens. Either they will give you a reference or not.

Re: how do you get references?

I agree with Jay. Go with one of the verification services such as Date-check or Preferred 411.

This way no provider in the future will hold up the show and cause you to miss your opportunity of enjoying someone else.
