Specifically look for ladies who indicate that they are "newbie" friendly. State, in your initial communique to ladies with whom you are interested in visiting, that you have no prior provider references and ask if they have alternative means of verification. Be prepared to provide significantly more personal information, including full personal name, name of employer, employer website, cell phone, etc. than you might otherwise be required to do if you had a more extensive record of provider references and/or reviews. You may also wish to seriously look into verification through Date-Chek or Preferred 411. Many ladies place a high value on membership in these services since it reduces the "legwork" associated with documenting potential clients greatly.

Call P411 and get registered with them.  I recommend this agency because most providers accept p411 for most (but not all of their requirements).  Also, you can call P411 and they'll work with you to get acceptable info in order to register.  Then you can look up providers on P411 who are "newbie friendly," though they may ask for additional info.  Also, please read the newbie manual and as many pages on this board as you can.  Once you've been with a provider who's on P411, have her give you her "Provider OK."  Then you're on your way.  There are other ways to do it, so let's see what others say, but that's the way i did it.

They know you don't have a reference; they often serve as your first reference. I've heard that some who list themselves as "newbie friendly" aren't actually, so if you run into one of them, look at the next lady. Just keep trying until you find one.

I'm newbie-friendly, but I'm clear over at the other end of the country.

Check out Date-Check.com and Preferred411.com. Once you become a member, you will find ladies who indicate they are Newbie friendly. These work great when one travels and is in a new city.

First, consider joining a screen service like Datecheck or RS 2000.

Second, search for a newbie friendly provider who will take a chance on you.  You will have to be forthcoming with lots of personal information.  Once you've met her ask her to give you a reference for future meetings with other gals and you should be all set.

You need references from an established provider, but because you are new you can't get in with an established provider to even get a reference.

There are ladies who see newbies, some mention it on their websites, some don't. It doesn't hurt to inquire. There are always alternative methods for screening. Yes, the verification sites help, even if you have been "approved" on those sites, some ladies require that you still have actual references on those sites. So its the same thing.

Do your initial homework on the "hobby", and learn the in's and out's. Learn the do's and don'ts. Get yourself established with the verification sites if you can. Nothing is ever 100%, but it usually helps. Find someone legit, well established, well reviewed, that sees newbies, and begin a dialogue. Ask her what information from you she would need to feel safe. Usually employment info is required, minimum. If you are comfortable with it, then give her what info she needs and let her check it out to ensure that at the very least, you are who you say you are.

Its hard getting in the door, (at least when you are dealing with an established lady) but once you prove that you are who you say you are, are safe, not LE, polite, on time, pay the correct donation, understand hygiene, etc then there shouldn't be a problem....

Good luck!

We've all been there. And yes, it sucks to be you. You need to get verified by 411 or rs2k. There are plenty others out there as well. Do that and it will save you alot of frustration. Good luck

Thanks for all the responses. I found someone who decided they would see me based on a recommendation from someone I have seen before. She gave me an A+++++ recommendation!!!! Hopefully the new girl will feel the same way. Hopefully I will have the two recommendations will help me in the future.
