If she smiled, you'd have your answer. If she simply looked at you cluelessly, then no harm, no foul, simply change the  subject and move on.

BTW The last time I did this, she just looked at me blankly when I mentioned TER, I took my own advice and changed the subject and moved on

Now of course not all escorts/hookers know about TER so it's quite possible she could still be an provider and not know a thing about TER, but it's an easy segue without coming right out and asking "are you a prostitute???"

A few weeks ago I was returning from a business trip on a Sunday evening.  Much to my pleasure I was seated next to a reasonably beautiful woman, 30-ish, blond and dressed casually.  We talked a bit, she was friendly but also oddly distracted.  Something about her just made me think she was a provider.  I imagined that she was returning home from a tour to some other city and I really wanted to know if this was true.  If we were both living in the same city I would have wanted an appointment.  Of course, I couldn't imagine any way to ask that would have resulted in anything other than a slap.  If she was a provider why would she admit it to a stranger on a plane and if she wasn't, well, we all know how that would have ended.  So I just sat there next to her fantasizing the whole way home.

Well maybe if she sat on my face..
No guarantees though.

The Op's handle is artrides (art-rides) not Atreides, the lead character in the "Dune" trilogy.  Fooled me at first, too

She had "retired" from providing and actually lived a few blocks away.  We smiled at each other, said "hi" and continued on our way.  I saw her around the neighborhood for years afterwards but never spoke again.  Just a smile as we passed.  This was back in 1996.

Yesterday I was very concerned about a couple of things happening on this board. I had things to do, but also time waiting for others, so I was coming back on line periodically to check things out. Also, to complete setting the mood, I had a late-night date with a civvie. So I was thinking about the hobby.

I was traveling for business on the left coast and it was check in time at the hotel ~3pm. I got into the elevator along with a woman who looked a lot like Tricia Helfer from waist up but whose caboose was larger (not fat, just a wider pelvis) and on somewhat shorter legs. Not model material but hot enough.

Nope, no signs, just recognized her face.

I was certain she was a provider or not. Even if I knew, how the hell would she know who I am? And why would she care or want to converse about it?

and no, I wouldn't start by offering her money, but if I asked her out for a drink and it turned out she was a pro, no problem. If it turned out she was just a horny civvie, even better, and if she just flat shot me down, well no biggie, that's why we have TER. No guts, no glory.

Sorry, but even though I am not a hunk either, I just don't find it that odd that a hottie would want to talk to me. I might not be GQ cover material, but I am not quasi moto either, You'd be surprised how often women will "lower their standards" when traveling. lol

But if you are in an airport on a Thursday afternoon or Friday morning and happen to pass by a flight headed to Vegas you will see an unusual amount of really hot looking ladies. Coincidence?

and if she is still talking to you after "busting" you, even if she really interested, at least you know she's not a prude and might be a lot of fun, even if you don't score.

You know another great thing about the hobby, you can go have a great time with a hottie who doesn't have the slightest interest in you sexually and it's still all good. You go out, you have a great time and then when all you get is a peck on the cheek at the end of the night, (end of the night with her at least), you call up a provider that looks just like her, and everyone is still happy.

Seriously dude, you sit next to a beautiful woman and your first line of thought is she must be a hooker and your second line of thought is how can I work this into a conversation?

I posted on the ISO board for providers who could fly, but I couldn't find any.

Discretion is paramount in the hobby both for her and me. I've seen a provider that I had been with in the lobby of a hotel and I kept walking, we did make eye contact but that was it no hesitation. We discussed it the next time we saw each other and we both thought the other might cross the imaginary line, but we didn't. There are so many scenerios that could be taking place, she or I could be traveling with family or either could be traveling for business and it could be uncomfortable to have to explain. I think she was more impressed that I didn't react,.

I  guess he could, but then I would only be telling you what's right for me, and not for you.

but speaking now strictly for myself, and not trying to influence anyone else to do it my way. I love the uncertainty of the "hunt" but like you, I like knowing the fact that I can walk away from any woman at any time and go get "to the point" as you put it, with a pro at anytime I want to. It also helps living in a big city where all is not lost if a civvie date goes nowhere and you find yourself with your dick in your hand at 1 AM, with one phone call, ok two phone calls and voilla, your dick is no longer in your hand, but in the hand/mouth/pussy/ass of some beautiful woman.

That you could pay her for sex instead of getting to know her ? How'd you hide your boner n wet spot ? You ruined a good opportunity , and she was or wasn't a provider but a woman ....next time treat her as such and perhaps you flight and hers will be better for both of you ...

I'm no hunk either but I can be pleasant. I have hotties that are friends (but without benefits). So I have no problem talking to a beautiful woman if I'm in the mood for company. If she is traveling for business on a Friday..... hmmm.... why not offer the drink and some business chat. One can be pleasantly surprised.

Hell I'd love to have found out. I kinda thought about it for a moment because she busted me bad watching her walk up to the gate. You know when a chic busts you and you're almost embarrassed? But again, the whole discretion thing. Oh well it's all water under the bridge now.

Just not on that subject matter. Like I said water under the bridge.

I immediately recognize it if a provider has pubic hair.  

So first one I posted  
Man as you are met woman in public and looked very desirable for him so he tells her  
- girl I ll give you 200 show me your boobs  
She did
He then asks her  
- lift skirt show me your panty I have you other 300
She did  
He become so aroused and asking her :  
Girl how much it be to F you ?  
She says :
- as always 250  
Seems all women pretty women for men in states are providers  
You can have any woman if you bold not fearful and ready spend money  
Or it is not possible to buy American woman ? Haha already is a joke. A ?  
I become gooooddddd American woman now .... Strange that I not become happier one day I will move back I seems. Too bad job hold me here kids hold me here  
Other joke by the way  
We told about USA. So tourists in states encountered a problem that all women are for sale he can t get laid ! So he is asking local s :
- all women are for sale ? Do you have some which are not for sale ?
Americans tell him - o yes of course  
But they cost really big money  
So it is why hobby is sooo popular here ? All women gone to business if she is a bit pretty  
As to me I easy pic up men in public and tell them my price if I wish. Sometime we go right the way to his place hotel sometime he says It is a lot sometime he becomes a lover for long long time ! I always meeting my cleints when I fly oftnen as may be five times

I'm not a person that enjoys the hunt anymore. I get all the idle conversation I need at work, especially when I'm traveling for business. Yep no hunt for me, I want the feast. I've earned it, I've done the marriage thing and I've gotten myself to a comfortable enough position financially that I can have my cake and eat it too. The hobby is a wonderful life, let's get to the point, ahem pun intended.

Why are you so shy around women??
I broke my shell after 3 or 4. I am always a little nervous around women though..
I embrace it... Being nervous for me... Ups my senses.. You know? I kinda like it..
I also know for sure.. When I like someone..
It is a blessing to be able to tell these things..

Yes, exactly, the gal I "knew" and I both lived in Astoria, Queens at the time.  It always gave me a little thrill to see her around the neighborhood for years afterwards knowing I had "hit that", but I never bothered her or anything.  She was (and is, I guess) a human being, like all of us, deserving of respect and dignity, not any sort of stigma, he'll, it took two to tango, I was there too and I was kinda glad she didn't "out" my business to the neighborhood either.  Almost 20 years later I still think about her from time to time nostalgically mostly due to the fact that even though I only "saw" her once, I saw her dozens of times in passing.

If you met a regular on the street, why not just say "Hi, how are you doing?" and treat the accidental encounter like you would if you were both civvies who had met at work or a party or something innocent?

he clearly wanted this creepy guy to shut it and leave her alone. My advice to this man is to never solicit a woman because all she has to do is call the cops and he will be taken away in bracelets. Saw it happen on the subway in T

I talk to women quite a lot. But I don't come on to them, they want something like security they're professional goldiggers. Nope I'd much rather see providers, I know how much it's going to cost and I know exactly what her motivations are

Perhaps you really were the prescription that he was looking for.

No biggie, I don't do anything, I act normal and keep it moving.. I would hope they would do the same thing if they saw me.  
 I used to run into a local regular at Duane Reade all the time, we smiled and  both went on with our business, he usually called the next day to set up a get together

because he talks to woman in the hope to  find out who she is and how he may have her?

Years ago during a personal growth workshop I attended I came across this lady that seemed quite familiar to me. I approached her and asked if I knew her from somewhere and was told no. Later I approached again and asked if she had been in some spiritual ceremony I had taken part in...and was told no again. I'm not sure when it hit me (it definitely wasn't that day though) that I had seen her photos on an agency site that had been busted months before. That could've been reaaaaaallly awkward lol.

Ever want to see you ....your old .....!  

If she doesn't slap your face it could be the start of a very interesting conversation, but it could also be the start of a very, very long plane ride instead.

and just where the fuck have you been? You know you are supposed to call  your parents to check in if you are to be late coming home. You do realize that Turd Ball has almost twice as many posts as you now, this job of yours seems to be interfering with your social time, we may need to have a talk about that. lol

Where the fuck is my Sugar Mamma?
Dammit!

If you took you and me out of the equation our two favorite crybabies would have as many posts as the rest of the top ten put together, most of them it seems, are posts whining about other posters.

You don't really plan on allowing a couple of whiners to take your title as TER's biggest blabbermouth, do you? I would hope you would at least give them a little cheese to go along with all that whine.

So lets see, how many posts can you get in during a three hour break? I do remember friends of mine who worked at GM that could suck down a six pack of beer and smoke two doobies during a twenty minute break, so I bet you could make dozens of posts in three hours if you put you mind to it.

You are projecting YOUR paranoia onto the general population because you've spent a lot of time with hookers. Don't be so naive. She was probably distracted because she did not want to be stuck sitting next to you, and wished it was Johnny Depp.

I have a 3 hour break today, then won't be back til next Wed. but will make sure to keep up with your post count.

you just emailed  me and used  fake TER Support Gmail .. you actually reported to TER  so you to know ..

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm nope not me sorry , keep dreaming that day will come when I'm so desperate I'd e mail u ...lol. Putin I'd go gay before I saw u ..........and I'd ask out nky and curly , they got better legs than u , lol

It is by the beans of Java that my thoughts acquire speed,  
The hands acquire shakes,  
The shakes become a warning.  
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
