Just met a new provider -- already set second date.  I'm not really into quantity, would rather stick with one girl.  Say I want to see her once a month.  Is it proper to approach her with monthly support arrangement instead of a pay as you go?  I would think for the lady that it would help her lock in a part of her calender and give her a base of income, also eliminate time spent on screening, risk, etc. Would appreciate your thoughts.

I prefer pay as you go, less bookkeeping! I've been seeing my atf for 2 1/2 years. I  compensate her at her normal rate, I just get some very nice fringe benefits. This plan seems to work best for both of us.

In my opinion, it would be best to stick with donate per meeting...

You never know when changes will happen in your life and you can't get together, and I have heard too many tales of gentleman who set up this arrangement and then suddenly their calls go unanswered when it is time to get together to square the deal that they have already paid for.  

I hate to see people get screwed over and end up jaded for the rest of us to deal with.  

even with a regular lady / ATF...  you can get taken for granted & quality goes down.  A prepaid arrangement totally entitles her to the cash with no consideration for your needs.  

There are benifits with a regular or favorite...  she's comfortable with me, knows what I like, no wasted time with nervious intros.  She knows I'm not LE or a jerk & that her correct donation will be there when we're done.  Don't expect any discounts unless she moves in with you (and then you're really going to pay.)

or you getting the itch to see someone new, there will not be a financial consideration getting in the way.

Most ladies like regulars and often provide extra benefits if you see her once or twice a month.

The only sort of relationship I am strongly interested in developing is the ongoing one. Any "discount" comes in with the length of time in which one visits me. Consider a 4 hour dinner date, in which each hour of such is well less than half of my hourly rate. Or the first day of my travel rate, of which each hour is only 20% of my hourly rate.

As a monthly visitor, you are certainly in good company, but I'm afraid that at that unless you are requesting multi-day travel dates once a month, you probably are not going to qualify for a discount in the eyes of most ladies.

I didn't mean to imply that I am looking for discounts, or freebies...although if we look at this in the most finite sense, we are buying the ladies' time.     That said, there should be some preference/consideration as opposed to having to compete with all the other 1st timers.  
      Here is what I miss....during the prelude to the first meeting, there is certainly an expected amount of communication, excitement, teasing.  However, after the first meeting, once the 2nd, 3rd & 4th etc are scheduled...the communication has pretty much disappeared (kinda like marriage!).  Are we being taken for granted?  Or is it just the norm?
