Most of what follows is common sense, but nerves make common sense easy to forget, especially the first time. Read it once and you will walk into the evening calmer.
Before the Knock on the Door
Writing to Us
Keep the first message short and clear: who you would like to meet or what kind of woman you prefer, your hotel and room, the date and time, and how long you want her to stay.
Courtesy goes a long way here. A polite tone in writing tells us, and her, what kind of evening to expect, and if anything changes, a quick message as early as possible is the decent thing to do.
Getting the Room Ready
Clear away clutter, put valuables and work papers out of sight, and dim the lights a little. A clean towel and a spare glass make a better first impression than any gift.
Shower shortly before she is due, and have something to drink to hand, sparkling water as well as wine, so she can choose.
The First Few Minutes
Open the door with a smile and invite her in as you would any guest. Offer her a seat and a drink before anything else.
Spend a few minutes talking. Ask how her evening has been, mention something about your day, and let the atmosphere settle by itself.
If you want to confirm the length of the booking, do it lightly and early so neither of you has to think about it again.
While She Is With You
The simplest rule is the oldest one: treat her the way you would want to be treated on a date with someone you like.
Respect the limits agreed beforehand. If you would like something that was not discussed, ask her kindly and accept her answer either way.
Stay sober enough to be good company. A drink or two helps everyone relax; much more than that rarely improves the night.
Keep your phone face down. Taking photos or recording without her clear agreement is never acceptable.
Be present. Attention, humour and a little curiosity about her as a person make the hours feel generous.
Small Practical Points
Rates are fixed before she sets out, from EUR 180 for one hour to EUR 1,250 for an eight-hour overnight, so there is never anything to bargain over in the room.
Keep an eye on the time without watching the clock. If you would like her to stay longer, ask early and we will check whether she is free.
Hotel reception may ask her name or which guest she is visiting; she handles it as any visitor would, and you do not need to come down.
Saying Goodbye
Give her time to freshen up and get ready without hurry, and see her to the door rather than leaving her to let herself out.
A sincere thank you is enough. If the evening went well, telling us afterwards, or asking for her by name next time, is the compliment she will appreciate most.
And if anything did not feel right, let us know privately; that is how we keep standards where they belong.
