Andee 220524 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 I have had clients travel a few hours to Ottawa because they specifically wanted to see me. I won't mention any names, but let's just say the (mostly lyla members) who traveled 1-3 hours to see me, have been the more reliable and pleasant gents I have encountered. So that tells me that if someone has a desire to see who they want to see, they will make the effort. And to me, that is true compliment. I am always open to travelling to seeing a gent who is outside the greater Ottawa-Gatineau area as long as I can verify his location and he agrees to a my out hour rate plus travel. I receive at least two to three requests a month to travel to locations an hour or more from Ottawa but often have to decline because I cannot verify their location or they are not willing to compensate my travel time. Sorry, but if it's going to take me a hour to travel to Cornwall for example, and see you for a hour (minimum) and have to spend an hour travelling back, that is 3 hours of my time. I cannot do that for my regular chez vous one hour rate. If a lady has to spend more than 30 minutes to travel to see a client, I do not think it's unreasonable to expect a surcharge for travel time. Also, it is very tacky for a gent to expect a lady to discount her rate because he has to travel to her. I have heard "it's going to take me a hour to travel to you, so can you cut me a deal?". It doesn't happen often to me, but the issue has come up. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacklyn7 200 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Hahaha, you don't have to try very hard to impress me! You're probably not the least bit impressed when I tell you I am coming from Whitby (to Etobicoke) to see you then. Did I ever mention that I mean Whitby England? No, I probably left out that part... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tongue twister 842 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Being from West Ottawa I have traveled to Orleans and would again. The furthest I would travel to see a lady would be Kingston. Timing would have to be right would be at least a 5 hour round trip for a hour. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Jessica Lee 43328 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 I've had gents drive from the city to see me in paradise. A day on the water, hot sun, cool drinks, bbq.... I've even tucked some into bed rather than let them drive all the way home. ;) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Prine puts it: I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin' Just five miles away from wherever I am. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
