I have seen serveral agency girls throughout the years and point blank asked them if we could skip the agency step. Over 50% I would fairly say (no, I didn't keep count) would give me a way to contact them personally. Many did refuse... but said they would self-contract after I saw them a couple of times through the agency.... which I never did because I only use agency in a pinch. You know, 2am. wake up horny and wanting to bust a nut in a hottie.

Maybe she just wants to tip you off in advance to the increase so that you aren't too put out by it next time.

I think the best way to have handled it is to have said something like:  "Is there any way I can be grandfathered under the old rate?"  That is a common practice, at least among independents.

Then if she wanted to make any point about meeting independently, the ball would be in her court.

Very few agency experiences

However i did enjoy one young lady enough to share with her that i would see her again but not within the agency. She took my number. NEVER CALLED!!! Guess i sucked? Or not enough? LOL

I've only seen one agency girl, and she gave me her number on the first date and told me we could skip the agency the next time. That works a lot better than being vague.
