Indy’s can be a great option as well, agency doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get better service for your money and probably won’t be low volume either from what I’ve heard from other SP’s who have worked at agencies. Also when booking with an agency the provider has no idea who they’re seeing as they’re not the one you’re talking to so all they know is a guy is coming at such and such time and that’s pretty much it. If you’re booking with an Indy provider generally speaking they’re the one you’re talking to so you can get a pretty good idea if they can provide what it is you’re really looking for, you just have to make sure you’re polite, clear and concise about the type of experience you’re looking for and definitely look up reviews for any potential lady on Perb and you’ll be less likely to get ripped off or catfished if they require a deposit or some form of screening.
I also disagree with booking something short like a 30 min date, you won’t have time to chat and feel comfortable as 30 minutes flies by really fast. I’d recommend 60-90 minutes and ask if the option to extend is available if you feel you need more time.
I’ve had 2 bookings in the past week with gentlemen who had never been with anyone ever and they both stated they were more than happy with the choice they made and how comfortable they were after just a few minutes because they informed me ahead of time and I was able to adjust my service to cater their needs. It’s all about you taking the time to communicate your needs and not rush into anything without doing your homework first.
Happy hunting!
