if so what were the terms?

I would go to conventions either in Vegas or Orlando, and take along a gal I knew, or see a gal I already knew who lived at or near the place.  Usually for 3 to 4 nights.

but  I wonder if they'd entertain a non-sexual arrangement.

But are you saying you want escorting with no sex at a lower rate?  Keep in mind there's an opportunity cost for the provider's time.  If you're looking for a lower-than normal rate and there's no such rate published, you could ask her about it  but don't be surprised if she declines.

Time is money, and some gals love the sex anyways

The terms always vary.  From how many times they've seen you, to how good you are to them (not just financially), to where you're taking them and if you give them plenty of "alone time" which everyone needs. If you have some specific thoughts or questions feel free to pm me. Good luck

...with them first.

Don't do an overnight unless you've done at least an extended 3-4 hour dinner date, and don't do the latter until you've done a 1-2 hour date.

Mr. Fisher, if you were to write an article on the subject what are the five most important points that are critical to compatibility? How would you determine that between two people and how critical is that to a harmonious relationship whether it be platonic, romantic or commercially romantic as in the case of this?  These are questions that should be ask by both parties before considering a vacation or an extended time period together.  

I know this is the newbie board where we are supposed to be nice, but PLEASE just STFU already.

Gambler just asking for some general parameters that one should look for when determining a certain criteria for compatibility. Something that is critical when determining whether or not to go on a long term engagement with a woman. The more information you have the better decisions one would make with respect to psychological makeup, expectations and the unique dynamic of give and take during the extended engagement between both parties.  That is why I asked Mr. Fisher, to expand upon his reply further so one would have a base to extrapolate what constitutes compatibility.

Thank you!
Yes we are supposed to be nice on the newbie board, but there are exceptions to every rule. Fancy and dupy are definitely exceptions here! If ripmany starts posting here, he is another exception and I give anyone permission to rip him!

and it wouldn't be an article, it would be a weighty tome.

I regularly go straight to overnights or travel.  Never had an issue at all.  On my side or theirs

so far I've gone to Ireland, Tokyo and traveled extensively within the US with clients and it's always been a great experience for everyone involved.  

i was originally looking for someone who offers this option on her site but  i think  I will just ask my "ATF"

Yes. I have done it a few times with ladies that I have seen on multiple occasions. This is one of the best and intimate things you can do in the hobby, but you MUST make sure it's someone that you like and are very compatible with since you will be sharing a bed, meals and travel.
