I seen this provider two times now who works for an agency in Houston, after my last visit she asked for my cell number and if I was interested in comming to her home for our next visit. I didn't give it to her but she gave me hers. She said she already discussed it with her man and he said it was fine. Doesn't this seem a little strange?

Seems so to me.  Certainly wouldn't want "her man"  coming after me taking objection.

Not necessarly...  but she's probably trying to cut out the agency.  You must assume, they'd not be happy with her freelancing with customers they brought in.  It might even be unsafe.

One of my Favs is married & he knows she provides.  Yes, he does work.  

You should not be using your personal cell for hobbying if you have a SO.  Get a hobby phone.  

Another Fav does see clients at her home.  She has a legit home business which explains the traffic to neighbors.  Still discretion is extreemly important.  One must know where to park & how to enter.  Home meetings carry more risk for her.  She does not have to split any income with an agency.  Since 2 meetings have gone well, perhaps she feels more secure.

My initial thought was " this is awsome" but I tend to over analyze everything. Then I started to think that " they" were trying to some how black mail me or even rob me. I have a pre paid hobby phone but I still don't like giving out the number, incase the "boss" some how found it. Isn't that how tiger got caught was his phone? What a dip!! I'm still undecided on what I'm gonna do.

Between the lady obviously trying to cut the agency out, and the simple fact that there is "her man" in the wings, should give you some cause for concern. There are a lot of ladies who have SO's, and they know what the ladies' do, but if you have any doubts at all, don't do it. There are just way too many terrific ladies to choose from to put yourself in any danger.

what would be the benefit to you anyway?

I have no issue seeing providers without husbands and boyfriends at their residences. Done it before and actually like the homely atmosphere.

I guess I have a different opinion here.  Clearly she is cutting out the agency and probably saving on hotel costs.  I have met MANY a young lady in her own home and find it the MOST comfortable.  I am a very cautious fellow (well, I try to be, my latest review which should be approved shortly would attest otherwise, catch it, I think it to be a stunning read) and feel that meeting in a hotel is MUCH riskier to the hobbyist!  Think about this, if she is setting you up, what kind of idiot sets you up from a traceable, connectible address!?  Depending on how bad she fucks you over, you could call the police and out her, or come back and freaking burn her house down with her in it!  No, I find it VERY unlikely that someone is trying to do you wrong FROM THEIR OWN HOME.  Your home?  Sure.  A neutral hotel room?  Most likely place.  But NOT their own home.  And as for there being a guy in the picture, I've partied with a hottie having a guy OUT IN THE LIVING ROOM!  As a rule, the lady has MUCH more to be concerned about in the world of safety, so many times, I'm quite willing to forgive her precautions even if they can seem weird.  This girl's seen you TWICE already and things are going really well.  I believe she has decided she TRUSTS you, and thinks you'll be a safe person to allow the knowledge of where her home is.  I say, have fun saving her money and don't abuse the trust, you might well be on your way to a new ATF.

If you do this...  you'll have to be careful not to let slip in a review or anything that she's working from home & especially that she's freelancing on the agency.

There are many valid perspectives, and it is a risk (toss a coin) if you take her up on it. Clearly there are motivations ($$$) for her to freelance, and many providers have boyfriends (ummm, and some have pimps).

If this is truly her home and her SO, then, as one pointed out, she would be crazy to risk her home to a ripoff.

I'd suggest getting the info and doing a little recon. If she's willing to go there... get her true name and check tax records, or do something to verify her as a provider would you. She should understand there is a clear risk here for you and be helpful. If she gets offended, then it just might be a B&S or ripoff.

Like someone else said no one is going to rip you off from their own home.Good gawd.and you do not need to know her real name or tax records.Thats pushing it.Now you sound like the dangerous client I would not see.Her provider info is all you need to know.i mean come on this girl has seen this man 2 times and is going to let him come to her home.she trusts him.A provider usually does not scam a repeat client.Thats bad biz.Especially at her home.WOW

would you give her your name addy and tax records without being offended?

It is not unusual at all for an agency girl to begin to strike out on their own. This is especially true if they are planning to cut bait with the agency soon. That is probably her plan.

And think of this; though she is trusting you, it is highly likely she is trusting you and MORE than just you. Others are being afforded the same arrangement besides just you. That is likely all part of her grand scheme to make the transition.

Have a blunt discussion. Communication never hurts to see where she stands and what her immediate plans are.

Again, with agency girls this happens all the time. Funny thing though is that it is more often the reverse where the hobbyist is asking for HER phone number to get around the agency.

but all I can say is if you are lucky enough to be friends with a provider in that manner, it is probably ok.

but the "her man" thing would make me wonder what gives.

reap the total donation rather than just a percentage.  Since you have seen her several times, she knows you are safe.
