I know when we're in certain moods this all goes out the window probably for every one of us, but try to use your big head. I would also establish a few good reliable repeats for times of slim pickings like recently. As great as it is to get more notches in your belt, it's not always realistic for normal people who have a functional life to keep up. I see it as a positive if they initiate and ask if I'm affiliated with LE. I've been fortunate that I have only been ripped off in dreams in terms of providers not doing what I asked, but there are real situations that are far worse out there. Part of how I keep myself out of those situations is to study up on the reviews and learn from others. This hobby is definitely more time consuming that I originally thought. I feel if you were to find all the gems in the rough, this could easily become a full time job. If someone repeatedly gets bad reviews over and over then it's very likely not going to be a dream you want to remember. We got a good team here that is willing to spill the gory details.
Also, personally I think some of the donations thrown out there are far too high. If it doesn't go how you'd like (which is an easy what if you think with your big head about, not so much with the other head), you will regret it and sets you back that much more. But that one is more of a personal choice. Plus pre covid Europe (Germany specifically) was so much better value than the US, there was no comparison IMO. Not sure about now.
There's still good providers out there, but it only takes one bad situation (LE, violence, disease, baby, etc) to really screw things up for you.
[QUOTE=BigMacDaddy;5426710]That's all correct.
Don't carry anything you don't want to lose. The casino rule, I call it.
Don't take detours to pickup drinks or cigarettes for the girl. Don't be an errand boy. I've canceled dates in the past while on the way after they kept begging. Use whatever excuse you can.
When you arrive, they should text you their room number. No crap question like where did you park, what kind of car do you drive, etc, and certainly not giving them a ride.
