It’s great to have the longer social interaction. Plus with the right person it can add a flirty public element that makes private time even better.  But you also have to manage the time. When it’s time to go, it’s time to go. Like you said, end of day you are seeing her first and foremost to get her in bed. Make sure that works for your expectations.

But I haven't experienced this, since I'm inactive at the moment. If this is actually a trend, perhaps it's the result of TER being dormant. So now maybe things will rebalance. I certainly see no reason to change my rules for this game
1) I love social time with the right girl but won't pay for it. My rule here is "I am happy to pay for your meal but I will not pay to watch you eat it."  
2) I don't do overnights for a similar reason but also because I see no value at all in sleeping next to someone, and morning sex doesn't appeal to me. The principal is similar to 1): "I will not pay to watch you sleep."
3) The longest date I'll do is 90 minutes and most are 1 hour. So no problem there.

I find one hour just a bit rushed, but two hours also runs a bit long. I cannot see paying for going out on "dates" or paying for sleepy time. In civilian life the only reason for dates was to get them in bed. If you already have them in bed why go retrograde?

Perhaps ask the ladies you're interested in if they have any option for remaining BCD for the entire date?

I myself have a "lunch date" option which DOES require some public time BUT it's slightly less expensive than my standard multi-hour rates.  So if someone wants to remain in private for the duration, that's great; it's simply at my standard rates for that amount of time.  

I'd guess many others who have "dinner dates" and other social date rates posted would also be happy to stay BCD.... for the right price.  

PS:  For dates longer than 4 hours, I will usually tell the gentleman we must make time to eat but it doesn't need to be in public.  

I didn't have a problem providing a deposit for extended dates (6-8 hrs) since the provider was blocking out that much time for me and could lose income from turning down clients if I had to cancel.

It's returning the deposit that's a real pain in the ass as I've recently experienced where my personal info was compromised and given to someone else to return the deposit for the provider which that in itself is an entirely different issue. Needless to say, I won't be providing either things in the future.

I've had many 3 hour dates BCD with MSOG and it doesn't bother me at all. Any appointments 4 hours or over must include a meal or I tend to lose steam!  You just need to find a provider who doesn't mind being BCD for a spell!

Did she waste time trying to avoid going back to the hotel?
Did you two have a great conversation that you both forgot the time?
Did you take 1hr to complete once?

Next time get 2hrs and see if it is worth doing a longer date with her later.

I've had to learn the hard way about "social time". One key thing I look for is MSOG, so glad TER is back for that reason.  When I first started hobbying it was a given that you'd get MSOG if you booked for the hour, especially 300 and up.  I started noticing around 4 or 5 years ago that that model was outdated.  Since then Ive had several hour long appointments with 20 to 30 minutes of unsolicited chattering.  To each his own, but I'm just not that interested in talking for half of a paid session or paying somebody to sit and eat a meal with.  For that reason I tend to stick to girls I know that are all about action.  Not saying I'm a porn star and can just screw for an hour straight, I just don't like to feel gamed.  

You might, but sometimes I don't ask because I don't want the man to feel like he isn't pleasing me if I ask to go again, but he can't. Then sometimes people will wait until the time is up to mention it, and at that point it is a no.

I'm glad you posted this, because this is a code I can't crack. Like you're on a date, it's going all personal like a real date, (which is how I like to run it,) and then I say, "You know you can have multiple pops."

I might subliminally mention something to that regard, but how would you personally like someone to express that you do have the option for more sexy time without it feeling like you're at a parlor or something?

deposits, msog

Look at from the gals point of view for a little sec. I understand you gentlemen go through some shit with some providers, however us gals go through it too. Probably a lot more than the guys do. Deposits I totally get especially for a 2 + hr appointments. I cant tell you how many guys tell me they are on there way and NEVER show up. Dont even bother to call text nothing, and when u reach out they are still on their way ! Its pretty funny how some guys think that our time is not as valuable as theirs. those are the ones I try to stay away from .  Im actually beginning to think its a new fetish, however its bullshit. I dont agree with the msog. If your booking 2 + hrs with me,  we are gonna do it whatever  you want with in that time frame. if it goes longer I should be compensated for the time. The most important thing is to make sure that your having a good time no matter what your doing. This should be a fun pleasent experience for EVERYONE involved. !  just my 2 cents grom a gals point of view . thanks
