Having only recently moved to the area from a very small town, (where escorts are not an option) I am extremely unfamiliar with the concept of escorts. I've seen many sites (CL, Eros..) but for whatever reason haven't been able to get completely comfortable with the idea. I guess all I'm looking for is a little reassurance and maybe some insight as to where I should start.

First, get your TER VIP.

Second, Do your research on TER.   There's a variety of factors you can key in on based on your interest (location, age, measurements, etc.) Find a lady you think you will like. Also check FAQ for Newbies Board.

Third, read her reviews. And then post, asking for endorsements or warnings about her.  Be aware, however, that without any history here, you may not get a response.  With a TER VIP you can PM other VIPs for more information and have a better chance of getting an answer.

Fourth, join a verification site like Date-Check.com or preferred411.com if you think verification is going to be a problem.

Fifth, make contact with provider. First timers especially should stay away from CL.

I appreciate the response. I was afraid that having no history here at TER would result in my post being ignored. I will definitely take all the information you have given into consideration.
