I responded to a provider's ad which placed her in my side of town.  She has several positive TER reviews from long-time members but has not been around long.  During our discussion, I found out her home/incall location is within a few blocks of my home.  My first thought (little head, obviously) was this could be convenient and made an appointment.  Soon after, my cautious BRAIN kicked in gear and I called and politely canceled.

I've thought of several pros & cons, among them being that  she would inevitably see me around the neighborhood at some later date, find out where I live... and all that potential can-o-worms.

Your opinion?  (I apologize to those who may have addressed this issue previously.  I did a keyword search and failed to identify pertinent posts.)

I did some of my wifes friends that hang around my house all day and told my wife about it both before and after. I would go for it. But my situation is a bit unusual as I don't need to hide the fact that I hobby as my wife actually wants me to P4P. It is a risk reward thing, and only you can make that call.

and if seeing a provider who lives closer to you than you like makes you uneasy, then don't do it.

As a practical matter, there is probably no great problem as providers know to never reveal a confidence and if they were to see you at the supermarket or similar setting, they would just pass by without a glance.  Hobbyists should also take note and be just as careful.

Hot ass lady, dynamite fuck, right around the corner? Fuck!

The only thing to decide is would it be an in or outcall.

The neighbors I'm tight with know I hobby, and I'm a fucking degenerate, selfish prick that's totally into myself. Shit, they take care of my dogs when I fly off to get my dick wet. And I'm talking the hubby and his wifey. Part of my charm.

But anyway, they would not be surprised, if they were out watering their yard or watching their kids ride their bikes up and down the street, if some hot lady came walking down the street and up to my door.

They'd just look at each other, have a chuckle, and wrangle up the young uns' before they get a chance to hear the antics eminating from my casa!

I am between Tampa and Orlando. I don't mind driving an hour to see a special lady. Hell, the anticipation is a big part of my enjoyment. Since I am an admitted closed hobbyist, as some wise hobby guy once told me, don't play in your own back yard. Guess I need to go back to school to learn how to be " The Complete Ass-hole", There I supplied the title, all you need to do MP is supply the pages. I constantly marvel at guys that are able to pull that off.

Called a young (21) provider. I live in a very quiet little complex which is sort of difficult to find you're way around, so I suggested (as I regularly do) that we meet by a nearby bar and drive to my place. No problem. Great session. A few days later, I called her again; she said she remembered how to get to my place. She arrived and I complimented her on being able to find me. Another GREAT session. When I walked her downstairs, I realized her car was not there. She said she walked since she lives in the building across the street!!!!!!!!!Long story short: We so,metimes meet walking the dogs, we have been to lunch and out for a drink together. We are friends. When we have sex, I pay her her regular rate but she forgets the time limit.Usually, it's like dinner and two-three hours at my place and I walk her home ......... $200 .....Scary sometimes, but it's working great. She is in college and was very low volume. She hasn't posted in weeks. I think I am (at least very nearly) exclusive. She told me early on that with scholarships and her parents, she just needed a little extra money. I've met her parents; nice people.

I fucking live alone with my dogs. I've been a drunk for almost 30 of my 43 years. I pay my bills, late sometimes, and don't give a flying fuck about people that don't give a fuck about me. Simple.

Just wanna have fun, brother. We go thru this shit once, and I want to make it count. I wanna be smiling when I know I'm getting ready for my dirt nap.

You guys amaze me- THIS IS A BUSINESS! Not a stalking , or some kind of social call! I see people all the time all over the country! I dont say a peep! I dont even SMILE!  Whether I am (home area) or on tour I may and I do see people Ive dated walking around, but guess what? We ladies have our own lives! We are not gonna run up to you and your kids and say "HEY BOB! YOUR COCK WAS HOT LAST FRIDAY- WHEN ARE WE GETTING TOGETHER?!"  dillusional - fantasy- crazy

Whenever I see new people moving onto my street, I say 'please let it be a hot fucking lady!'

I don't care if she's married or not.

Wouldn't be the first time!

otherwise someone might see your car. If your married you'll be thinking on your feet about a reason to be there.

but if said provider became a Favorite, the easy access could drive you into the poor house in short order...  
Seeing a provider whom you know, outside of the profession should be no big deal.  You act as strangers, give a polite nod as you would someone who gives you room on the sidewalk & that's it.  You never address them nor they you, no way to know who might be within earshot.  
That said, I have been in my ATFs home (4 years) & had her adult daughter arrived.  The session was over, we were fully dressed & we were chatting about computer programs, had my laptop on her kitchen table...  She is unattached so no repercussions.  

I have a SO so hobbying locally is asking to have my car seen & all that would entail.

I wouldn't mind having a well reviewed provider as a neighbor.  Very convenient, to say the least.  Most providers that I see are very discrete when it comes to maintaining ones privacy, so I wouldn't be too concerned about her finding out where I live.  The only thing that I'd be concerned with is that if she became a favorite, I'd probably go broke from seeing her too often ...LOL.

Clearly, I need do better at providing details; perhaps these will help explain why I had 2nd thoughts:

1.  The provider has 4 reviews, admittedly all positive.

2.  Her place is within easy walking distance of my home on a street often traversed by pedestrians.

3.  She appears to have started advertising only in the last 2-3 months, infrequently; her professionalism is not established and I'd rather not find out that she provides good service but can be tempted by circumstance to play power games - a trait not uncommon among young humans (early 20's) regardless of job/profession.

If I found a provider with numerous positive reviews distributed over at least 6 months in similar proximity, I'd be more confident.

Thank you all for your feedback, I'll be thinking about this a while longer.

Very fucking lucky to have gotten that arrangement. You definitely rock dude!

I am one provider who is local to the airport area so understand quite a few of my clients work and shop almost everyday around my incall. Have things really gotten that bad that girls are not seen because of the potential of accidentally seeing them in the street later. Really???? U must be married.... As I type this I am looking out my window at one of my clients who barber shop is very near to my incall.....So you think Im going to go bust his bubble and tell everyone or say two words to him until he is ready for me again???? Convenience is first and half of why my friends come and see me and my consistent service is the other.

YOU have MANY positive reviews spread over nearly 1.5 years.  A hobbyist has a good reason to believe you to be both talented and professional.  Having a provider like you within walking distance would... probably result in me filing bankruptcy in a short time...  (drat!).
