What First-Time Clients Overthink (And What Actually Matters)

Meeting a London escort for the first time can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Most new clients overthink the same few things that, in reality, don’t really matter. That’s easy to see after a few dates, but when you don’t know what to expect, it’s common to think there’s a “right way” to talk, act or even choose an escort.

The truth is that escort dates are much less complicated than you probably expect. That’s why we’re going to look at the three main causes of overthinking for first-timers and what you should actually be thinking about instead.

1. The First Booking

For many of us, the nerves start before we’ve even picked up the phone. This isn’t such a bad thing, though. It shows that you care about the proper etiquette and the privacy of everyone involved.

Still, going around in mental circles about what language you should use, whether you can ask for what you actually want or needing to sound “charming” from the start doesn’t do anyone any favours.

When you book, you’ll most often speak to a receptionist first. It’s their job to help, so remember that and treat it like you would any appointment. Here’s everything they need to know:

The date and time you’d like to book
The escort you’d like to book - If you’re not sure, you can ask for recommendations based on your budget and desires
Where the date will take place (e.g Your home, a hotel, the escort’s home or a local bar/restaurant)
How long you’d like the booking to last
Any special requirements or extra services you’d like to book

2. Will it be Awkward?

Many first-time clients worry that the session will feel awkward, especially at the beginning. They conjure up images of long silences, not knowing what to say or worry that their date won’t find them interesting.

In reality, professional London escorts are highly skilled at helping people come out of their shells. If you’re worried that you’ll be shy, it helps to know that you’re not alone, and escorts know how to put you at ease without you even realising it.

Take this review of one of our London escorts, Andrea: “I was incredibly nervous upon meeting her, but she was thoughtful… enough to make me feel at ease. My worries quickly disappeared, and the rest of the evening was one I’ll never forget. What a woman!”

So if you’re worried your date will be awkward, just take a step back and remember you’re dealing with a professional whose only goal is to make you feel comfortable and happy.

3. Overplanning the Date

Lots of first-timers think they need to plan every tiny detail of the date, down to the topics they talk about. This almost always leads to disappointment. You’re so focused on the plan that you don’t give yourself space to enjoy the authentic and natural moments of connection that come when you’re spontaneous.

Then you get clients who try to fill every nanosecond of their booked time with some activity. Dinner, drinks, a show, bowling, dessert, salsa classes, then back to the hotel to find out that you blinked and the booking is over.

Don’t worry, though, there’s a healthy middle ground to be found. If you’re booking an outcall date, we’d suggest picking one or two activities to begin with, and don’t overcomplicate it. Dinner and a walk, or drinks and a gallery, for example. That gives you space to slow down and actually appreciate the moment you’re in. Being present is the number one way to make sure you get the most out of your date.
