Hello there!
No worries, everybody starts out somewhere, so no worries at all about your situation. Some small suggestions, if you will.
First, you’ve taken the right first step. Starting out, I’d highly suggest calling upon a well established regular lady on Lyla than a random ad on Leolist or another site. I'm not knocking LL at all; just, starting out, you’re so much more likely to have a great time from an established lady from here. Remember that when you communicate, be polite and don’t be graphic. Nothing wrong letting them know you're new to seeing escorts; most ladies will be exceptionally understanding and go the extra effort for you.
I'd start by looking in the forum "Nova Scotia - Schedules and Announcements". See if anyone interests you, and check their profile, look at their pictures. Many have websites and/or twitter accounts; research there as well. You can also check out the recommendations thread, to see what other people have said.
Each lady has different levels of screening to their comfort level. Once you make you decision to whom, contact them and see what theirs is. Some may request a reference from another provider. Some may request a copy of photo ID. Some may request a deposit; sometimes, that’s a warning sign of a scam, but the Lyla ladies are 100% legit and you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Take the screening in stride; these ladies are placing themselves in a state of vulnerability with an unknown stranger, so understand their caution. They’re not out to cause you grief, they’re looking out for themselves. I would be VERY hesitant providing any information (or deposit) to a lady contacted at random from Leolist, but you really don't have that worry here.
You’re going to be nervous as the time approaches, that’s expected. Here’s the thing... IF you get cold feet and back out, DO NOT ghost the woman waiting for you. Text (or call) and let them know about your anxiety. These ladies have cancelled their plans for the evening just to meet with you, and it’s wrong on so many levels to just not show up. Again, these ladies are awesome and can help you through your nerves.
Show up on time; If you arrive early, hang out nearby (though not on the doorstep!) til it’s your time, don’t show up 15 minutes early. Shower before you head out, brush your teeth. Manscape a bit (no one likes a jungle), and shave (or trim if you have a beard / mustache).
I don’t know your financial situation, but I'd suggest get at least an hour of time with the lady. I’d even consider an hour and a half or two hours, if you can swing it financially. You'll enjoyting yourself tremendously. Respect their limitations completely; if you’re unsure, simply ask once you’re there. No means no, it doesn't mean "what if I offer you more money".
As for who... there’s several options.
There literally is no wrong decision if you pick any of these (this isn’t by any means an exclusive list!).... if it were me in your position, I would think Kylie Jane would be a no-brainer decision as one of the best ladies to visit. Charlotte Quinn is a sensual woman who would absolutely rock your world; I've never walked away from a session with her and not been exhaustively ecstatic. Ms Manda has a stellar reputation and would give you a night to remember for the rest of your life. If you prefer the girl next door type, Melanie Rose is breathtaking and such an amazingly nice person, and quite possibly the best "girlfriend experience" I've ever had. Stephanie Mystique is energetic, fun, and sensuous and definitely put the effort into making your time memorable.
Re: Covid, the ladies on Lyla are as concerned (if not more so) than you are. Most advertise that they are double vaxxed. Many have cut their client intake down because of the situation. Most will require you to sanitize on arrival. I share your concern as I am equally concerned with Covid (I have a person who is immune-compromised in my inner circle); I would have zero concerns with any of the ladies mentioned above. They have a high level of professionalism; it's their health as well as yours. I would not have the same level of trust in a random person off Leolist.
Any questions, shoot me a message!
