impoverished 643 Report post Posted July 12, 2013 Hi, I'm new here and looking for a bit of advice. I'm considering booking an sp through an escort agency and the particular agency I am looking at is asking for either a reference or a work #. Obviously, I can't provide a reference, as I have not hired an escort before. I could give them the phone number of my employer, but I have some concerns about that... first and foremost being that my employer would seriously frown on this sort of behavior were they to know about it. Furthermore, there is no way that this agency would be able to contact me through this work number, as I work on an on-call basis at various locations throughout my city.... and for the icing on the cake I am a seasonal employee and am in between contracts right now (so technically unemployed until September). I'm wondering how common the practice of asking for references and/or work number is and if anyone has any advice for a person in my situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted July 26, 2013 Providing a reference is for a lot of ladies an industry norm. Most of the ladies I see require full verification/screening, including real name, board handle confirmed by PM, phone number, email address. Now if you don't have a reference because it is your first time, you can provide a work number (although I understand why you could be reluctant to give that out) Explain that to the lady/agency they may have other screening methods One come to mind right away, they are verification sites, there may be others as well but the two I know of are Preferred 411 and Date Check My advice, give out full information (name, board handle confirmed by PM, phone, and email) and explain as of yet you don't have a reference. They will work with you from there, or should RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveyK 4311 Report post Posted July 26, 2013 In most cases, the refernces are nice to have, but not necessarily a must. If you contact your choice of one or more of the lovely ladies on this site, not an agency, they should be able to work you through the process. All the checks and balances are for the ladies safety, but they will work with you to provide services, as they are independents. If your handle implies your situation, you will probably have a hard time finding someone, lmao 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyRushton 253377 Report post Posted July 26, 2013 As someone who asks for a reference prior to meeting a new guest I will suggest that you are as upfront when booking as you are in this thread with your situation, the agency may have another option for you.

steveyK 4311 Report post Posted July 27, 2013 I guess we were replying to no avail, you've already had your first encounter and judging by your reco, you had a good time. I suppose you got around the 'references' problem. Good luck the rest of the way... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was also curious about this, and can only assume there are other people that are new to this who are interested as well. So by all means, keep answering all our noob questions :) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hedly411 110 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 I agree with GC1968... So of us are still gathering the information (and possibly nerve) to make that first encounter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunaterium 140 Report post Posted August 9, 2013 Yea, the reference issue certainly compounds the "working up the nerve" part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
