New client trying to join community

31 posts in this topic

Hey CO, 

First, what a great website I’m happy I found this community to explore while in a safe environment for all.

Being a “noob” with zero experience or references, I can see challenges ahead trying to book that first appt. Rightfully so! Gotta be safe for providers and clients.

Any suggestions on how to make a provider feel comfortable in this situation? A paid coffee trip at a local public place beforehand? Something to break the ice and build confidence in this crazy world we live.

BTW, I’m just getting out there after many years in committed relationships. Not easy but figuring my way thru.

And thank you for your response.

It would be best to pick a lady that sees newbies, and follow the directions that she gives in her ad/profile/website. If she is asking for information that you are not comfortable giving, move on to the next until you find a method of screening that suits you. I have heard of ladies that will do a coffee shop visit, but it has been a long time. Not to be rude, but for most of us, if we have time to have a coffee date, we would prefer to go with one of our friends. Hope all works out well for you.

Be nice and polite and correspond with her in the method she requests in her ad or on her site. You'll be amazed how far just being nice and polite will get you. Answer her questions as best you can without giving out personal information.  Not usually an issue as I don't think I've even been asked personal information while being screened. It's unlikely a lady will want to meet for coffee without being paid for her time.  Nothing wrong with that, just work out that arrangement ahead of time.  Of course you need to do your research ahead of time, and the ads and reviews on this site are a good place to start. Hobby safe.

Another option is P411. They take some verification info and then destroy it. Then you can look for providers there that are newbie friendly as well. You can also join with two provider references and provide no info. If the latter, follow Mustang's advice above and have fun!

Also, be advised that first posts of new member are expected to adhere to anticipated standards....which yours missed. Standard expected first posts include, but are not limited to things such as....." Whats the going rate for a BJ?"......" Who is the creampie queen?"......" We don't need no stinking condoms"......"What is the standard discount for...." ....." Who charges by the inch, rather than by the hour?".......things in that vein.  Oh...and have fun!!!

Right? Where is the rude and condescending "I already know everything" attitude we have come to expect from a first post. The OP is all polite and asking for help. The nerve!!!

Thank you all for the responses and humor! Cheers

Sounds like coffee dates are out. I’m showing my age (45) and inexperience with that one. Scratch that :)

Being polite and upbeat I can definetly do. Good advice there, ty. 

I will look for providers who accept sane noobs. :)

I’m assuming if I can connect with a provider than I’ll have a future reference. Sweet!

Im trying, thanks for the help. Cheers

As a noobie myself, BadBoy hit that out of the park. Research, Respect, Reputation, Respect, and then finally Results. YMMV is huge too. It's business, but not all business. Be clean, be prompt, be courteous and you will be ok. I love that adrenaline and the experience myself.

I'm not sure about out of the park but he definitely has too much free time on his hands. :D

Well Badboy, I’m not sure if I can top that. I feel like someone should sticky that as a “How-to” at the top of the page and you receive some royalties from it. :) Thank you for taking the time to write that up. 

Now say after reading that, and I still F this up, well then maybe I should just hang up the skates (so to speak). Great advice from A to Z’

The providers I’ve been politely PM want reference(s). Hence the catch-22, but P411 looks like a potential fix to that. Although the Ashley Madison, who swore to erase all traces of members but didn’t, still rings in the back of my mind. I’ll pull up my big boy panties and make a decision there. I’m ready to have that fun everyone is referring to!

I like you are very new to this and have social anxiety. The providers I have met have been amazing. Like everyone has said research is your friend here. You First time will be a little awkward because you do not know what to expect but that will pass trust me. Welcome to the community. If you have questions people here are amazing at giving good feed back

This is the one activity that you definitely want to fuck up :rolleyes:

If something goes wrong (she is a no-show, you two don't get along great, etc.) under no circumstances should you hang up the skates.  Just fail forward and try again, nothing is guaranteed in this sport.  Be prepared for things to not be perfect.  When things are perfect in this sport, it's heaven.  When things go wrong, it's usually still a great time.  Bear in mind, you not only want to have a good time, you want to get a reference too, so be nice!

Welcome.  As a fellow “noob” all I can say is do your research, be polite, respectful, patient and follow her rules.  Also, whether you communicate by phone, text or email, use complete sentences...try to sound somewhat educated...it goes a long way.  I recently visited a young lady and we had some good laughs over some of the messages she receives.  

Have fun and be safe.

It is amazing some one asks intelligently and they get well thought out answers.  Enjoylife you should do just fine as you are on the right track.  When using the search feature "listing title" and entering "newbie friendly"  you will come up a couple of choices.  If you utilize the search feature "listing description" it only worked if I put "friendly" which then you will need to weed out  "not newbie friendly" or the Fetish Friendly.  It gives a 500 error if you enter "newbie friendly"  

Knowing the "not newbie friendly" is just as important. Save everyone from wasting time.   When contacting a lady that you have not been at to determine before hand if they are newbie friendly be forthright and follow the advice others have posted.

Happy hobbying

Any suggestions on how to make a provider feel comfortable in this situation? 

I would say, to read a lady's website/page to see what her protocol is and just follow that. Independent provider means every lady has a different protocol based on what works for her individually. So, don't apply a one size fits all protocol. After 17yrs, this is one misstep I see the most from potential clients. Follow the lady's protocol.

You've gotten lots of good advice and the responses reminds me the value of this community.  I just want to say, "Welcome" and I hope you find what you are looking for.  I've met some incredible ladies from the board.  I also think your first post is a fine way to introduce yourself to the community.  Have fun, play hard, enjoy fully and be safe.

Welcome. There is not much I can add to what has already been said. I chose to use  P411. Its a great verification service but also lists providers ads (for now). There are several providers that are newbie friendly on P411. Many more require "okays" on that site, and even references. I found one beautiful lady that was newbie friendly. She was offering a lunch special, lunch and a private visit.  As already said, politeness and respect go along way. TOB is a great community, you are in the correct place.

Good job of finding this thread and bringing it back out into the light.. There is a ton of great time tested advise. BB wrote this with very clear instructions that anybody should be able to follow. Thank you BB. I have been here for a while and I picked up some pointers.

I can echo that strategy! It seems to have worked well for me! 😎
