Dinner Bookings

This page we'll look at the ins and out of doing dinner bookings or bookings in public with clients. These are unique because they involve you both being seen in public with your client, so certain etiquette is needed and you'll need to take some things into consideration to protect both you and your clients discretion. You'll also need to think about what you feel comfortable doing in public and where you feel comfortable going.

What is a dinner booking?

A dinner booking is basically what it says - a dinner booking! A dinner booking has to involve food and either being at a restaurant, at his house if he is cooking, or your house if you're cooking with him - it's not simply a measure of time. Some guys will be shifty and try and make a dinner booking and decide to keep you in their hotel room and get room service, or decide at the last minute to order take away food at their place if you're escorting, but that is not a dinner booking. A dinner booking is basically a booking that involves food being freshly cooked while you wait, during which time you indulge in polite non sexual conversation and non sexual physical contact.  It is important to differentiate between a dinner booking and a normal booking because quite often these days, ladies will discount on their hourly rate if it's a dinner booking.

The three types of dinner bookings

1. restaurant - you both go to a restaurant
2. he cooks - either at his house while you're escorting, or your house if doing an incall
3. you cook - you cook a baked dinner etc for him either at his house or your house

Restaurant Dinner Bookings Things to Consider..

1. Being scene in public
When doing a dinner booking at a restaurant you will be scene in public. If your family, friends, people you work with in your straight job or other escorts see you, you may be able to pass some gents off as friends or family, however MANY guys you wont be able to get away with this. Remember your client also may bump into friends, family or work mates as well. The key to being in public with a client is not to do anything that you or he may regret if scene by friends, family or work mates. It will absolutely be tempting to get lost in the moment / fantasy, but you have to remember you're a professional and must never lose site of who you are and what you're doing. It's your job to keep your feet in reality and keep your client safe from friends, family and work mates at all times. Don't get caught doing anything either of you can't talk your way out of if he was scene by his wife with you is the golden rule.

Many clients will do dinner bookings when interstate because it limits the chances of him being caught in public. Just remember you have a life in your home State, so if he wants to hold hands/kiss in public/bonk in public etc, think of what you're comfortable with, think of the risks to yourself and don't do it unless you can deal with the consequences. I always negotiate it with the client if he goes to grab my hand and be blatantly clear by saying "are you sure it's ok to hold my hand because I wouldn't want you to get into trouble?". If he says yup no problem and he is perfectly clear, then I decide on my comfort level.

2. Where to go for dinner

This can either be the fun bit or the torture bit. There are a few choices and they are.

i. Degustation
Think Tetsuya's, Altitude - This menu is where you have 6+ courses in a meal. Some restaurants such as Tetsuya's only have a degustation menu. This meal will take 3+ hours to eat and you will be offered the choice of having a wine matched to each course of the meal. If you are a

• foodie
• if your client doesn't spend all day everyday in fancy restaurants doing business deals
• if your client loves going to restaurants and having long discussions over candle light
• if time is of no consequence (ie. you are doing an overnighter or longer booking)
• if you can eat ANYTHING (there is no point in going to Tetsuya's if you hate raw fish which is the signature dish and only eat chicken)
• if you can make intelligent conversation for hours
• if you can handle being in very fancy restaurants
• if your client doesn't want to have wild sex afterwards (there is NO WAY a boy is going to be able to bonk for the 4 hours after he eats 6+ courses)
• if money is no issue for your client (degustation is generally pretty expensive as a rule) 

......then a degustation menu is for you!

When considering if you should get a matching wine with each course, think about how much you can drink, how drunk you mind your client getting and if you have to bonk afterwards. A glass of wine with each course is going to make him VERY sleepy on top of all of the food and going to make him slightly tipsy to say the least. Just remember you have to manage the consequences of this menu and wine when you leave the restaurant.

If you are looking for a restaurant that does degustation, simply Google it. Be sure to look at the restaurants menu because some of the restaurants I've been to, can have some fairly whacky options. I went to Quay restaurant once and had to eat pigs cheeks stuffed with pig trotters and pigs ears... made me cry to see the poor little pig all mooshed up.. literally I thought it was so sad I cried!

The other thing about restaurants who do desgustation menus is that they will generally have their acts together when it comes to desert. These fine establishments will usually have a desert tasting platter (or will make you one if you ask sweetly and bat your eye lashes) which is where you can have a single serve of every single desert they make - very civilised darling :) So even if you go to this restaurant and your client decides not to have degustation, you will still be able to get a desert tasting plate :)

Restaurants that serve degustation live to suck up your arse and take people's money. If you don't like a particular course, you can always ask for a vegetarian option. Asking for another option for every course or for the signature dish, is considered bad taste and bad manners though. These restaurants have an ability to make raw tuna taste like fairy floss though, so even if you hate a particular food in real life, I would always say try it at a fancy restaurant because it will taste nothing like you thought possible in real life and you may find you love it!

Dress code is you will need to dress to the 9's and he will need to wear a suit and tie or wear equally expensive casual attire

ii. Fancy Restaurant
Think Aria, Fourty One, Altitude etc These places the dress code is the same as where you'd go for degustation and often these restaurants will do a degustation menu. See above for who they suit, whats offered etc

iii. Mid Range Restaurant
This restaurant will be something that is a little more low key but you'll probably be sitting at a table with a table cloth. Think dress suit with no tie for him, you may be able to get away with jeans and stilettoes, although I would never wear jeans on a booking. Think fancy but no as uncomfortable as dressed up to go to a wedding.

A mid range restaurant would be like one of those restaurants down along the water front at Darling Harbour or on the promenade at Circular Quay (under Aria). Sorry for othe States I don't know your eateries/restaurants very well.

In these restaurants dinner will generally take 2 hours to eat at and will usually have a selection of food with 3 courses max. If the gent asks you to choose the restaurant, ask him if he likes seafood, steak, Asian etc, to narrow down the choice a little bit. Dessert is usually pretty shite in these places so not my favorite places to dwell :(

If you..

• don't think your client wants to spend $500+ on dinner
• are on a 4 hour dinner booking (2 hours at dinner and 2 in bedroom)
• need to bonk immediately afterwards
• don't have fancy enough clothes to go to a full on fancy restaurant
• are intimidated by fancy restaurants
• can't make 4+ hours of polite conversation
• are on a diet

...... then these are the restaurants for you and your client

iv. Low Key Shabby Chic
Think you can absolutely wear jeans and stilettoes, cargo pants and flip flops, summer dress etc and he can wear whatever he darn well likes. Examples would be local pizza shop, sushi train, Hogs Breath Cafe (aaargh), KEBABS (shudder in horror), basically those sorts of places you would take a real life partner. Guys who like to go to these restaurants include...

• Big Shot business men who spend all day, all their lives in fancy fancy restaurants, hate them, are over them, don't want a large credit card bill they can't wipe off completely on expenses
• Big Shots who are sick of wearing suits
• Big Shots who think it's cute/a novelty/living the fantasy of being normal and slumming it
• Regulars who want to spend time with you as a 'real person'
• Regulars you know VERY well
• Gents you are on 24+ hour bookings with
• Drunk clients
• the guy who took me to Hogs Breath Cafe told me he hated me and my feminist ways so he was protesting and teaching me a lesson by taking me to Hogs Breath... so people who hate you I suppose
• People who are completely unpretentious, yet not stingey with your fee
• People who don't have much money
• People who love saying "toot toot" as the Sushi Train goes around at Sushi Train like I do! TOOOT TOOOOOT I love Sushi Train TOOOT!

If you want dessert, you will have to stop off in 7/11 OR go to a Danish Ice Cream Shop, or go to City Extra 24/7 for strawberry pancakes, ice cream and maple syrup, or go to Woolworths to get Oreo's etc

3. Dessert

The question for me when someone is making a dinner booking is ALWAYS "can I order every dessert on the menu?". If the answer is no, I wont go on a dinner booking. It's not that I want every desert on the menu, but for me it's more like my screening procedure. If a boy says no, I know he isn't going to be any fun and more than likely someone who will order the cheese at the end of the meal and I NEVER like guys who order the cheese platter.

Now if you happen to want to get every dessert in a restaurant, suck up to the wait staff (even though your client will get VERY pissed off you're being as nice to the wait staff as you are him), smile sweetly, tell them their food is glorious and just pop out and ask it. Has worked for me every time :) I don't know why dessert is so important to me that I had o write a whole section on it... it just bloody well is!

4. Foods to Order

Anytime I get to a restaurant this is the trickiest bit. Every other lady I know who has done dinner bookings finds this step crucial as well. The issue is, what can you eat without wearing it?! Spagetti is a NO NO. Lobster is a NO NO unless in a fancy restaurant where they take it out of the shell. A sushi restaurant is a no no unless you can eat with chop sticks. Mixed leaf salad is a no no because you can never stick an entire lettuce leaf into your mouth elegantly. When choosing food think about

• what it will look like when you're putting it in your mouth if someone is watching you - slurping up spagettie is never going to be a good site
• think about what it will taste like to kiss you after you eat it (don't order garlic prawns)
• think about if you have to bonk after it - eating a medium rate steak and then having to bonk an hour later is not a great idea
• think about how much it costs - don't order lobster if you know your client has saved all year to be able to afford your booking rate and the cost of your dinner. It's not really good Karma to do that to someone who can't afford it
• research the restaurant and find out the dish they are best known for and order that
• nothing that makes you fart - I had a client who always use to eat Mexican before a booking with me and then want to do strap on stuff with me. I'll NEVER forgive him :(
• I always order the dish my client would have gotten as his second choice so he can have some of mine and have everything he wanted

5. Etiquette

There are certain things you can do that will annoy your client and get you a lecture or a very unhappy glare and they are things like...

• let him place the order with the waiter - I always like to order because I'm a control freak. Everytime I've done this however, boys get very cranky at me. Except of course boys who think it's very amusing I'm a nutter and laugh alot when I order. In general though, boys like to do the ordering, so let them order
• don't fidget
• don't spend to much time in the toilet
• put your mobile on silent and do not answer it in a restaurant or let it light up when it rings
• don't be overly friendly to the wait staff - every time I've been nice to the wait staff, cleaners, elevator men, guy who opens the door, guy who parks the car etc etc, the client has HATED it and I get a lecture about how I shouldn't be nice to the hired help pfft. Except of course the guys who like nutters and they laugh at me some more.
• don't under dress for a dinner booking
• don't get drunk
• don't eat like a bird and only peck at food. Guys take you to dinner bookings because they want to enjoy he food with someone who experiences it with them
• don't talk to loud so others can hear your converation
• don't complain about the food no matter how gross it is
• don't be boring - make conversation, it's your job to make and carry the conversation
• don't order the most expensive wine, food no matter how rich he is - it's ugly to be tacky and thoughtless
• don't order food that will make you taste gross eg. anything with garlic in it
• don't take your vibrator - it ALWAYS turns on in your bag and then your bag will start vibrating across the floor, and then it will tip over and your vibrator will go bouncing across the room.. very ugly moment that one and it ALWAYS happens if you have a vibrator in your bag
• don't eat his food - they always get the shits if you ask them to share their food
• don't forget to offer your food to him - they always get the shits if you don't share your food
• don't talk about other dinner bookings you've been on or talk up other restaurants you've been to and say one was better than the one you're sitting in right there and then
• don't be overly touchy feely

6. Difficulties of Dinner Bookings

There are lot's of things that could go wrong or can make you feel on edge in a restaurant dinner booking. They will vary depending on the client and where you go for dinner of course but the one's I've experienced and had other ladies talk to me about include things like...

i. Hating him as soon as you get to dinner - get to the booking and 10 minutes into the booking the guy begins saying incredibly insulting things and you want to stick his soup spoon up his arse. If he was at your house, you'd just bonk him so he'd stop talking, but in a restaurant you can see 2 long hours stretching out before you. An example may include a guy telling you, you shouldn't order the pasta because it comes with a cream based sauce and you look like the sort of person who has to watch their weight because your fat; don't talk to the cleaner in the lift because he is below you; wow you're a pig! I've had 2 nibbles on my entree and you've already finished yours; etc etc.

There are a few ways to handle this... either get up and walk out with your entire fee, stick the soup spoon up his arse, smirk thru dinner and stop listening to him knowing he is never going to get anything but missionary position with you lieing on your back when you get him back to your house, go to the toilet every time he says something insulting (if he's real bright he'll associate insults with your absense), let him know he is insulting you and you are going to be forced to tie him down and force your largest vibrator up his arse when you get back to your house if he doesn't stop.

ii. Bonking on a full stomach when half pissed - this is one of the major problems of a dinner booking! How do you bonk when you have a large medium rare 120 day aged grain fed 1/2kilo chump of dead animal in your stomach?! It is not pleasant shall we say?! If on top of that you add half a bottle of red wine to the mix, it makes moving and grooving around afterwards veeeeery tricky. Now for boys it isn't as bigger drama which means it will be twice the drama for you. When boys feel full and a tad pissed, all they will want to do is sit upright on the lounge, or lie on their back on the bed and have you bonk them because they are to tired and to full to move much. The trick for you then is to be able to do all the physical work yourself and as easily as possible so you don't throw up on anyone. This doesn't mean you have to eat salad and nothing but salad (because he wont like it if you do that), but it does mean you should only be eating something that you know wont make you feel sick if you had to get up and run a marathon immediately afterwards - think half a steak, fish etc.

If a guy is drunk after dinner, then they can get a few different problems including not being able to get an erection, not being able to cum even if you bonk them for 4 hours straight and pull out every trick in the book, not being able to stay awake, getting to honest (one guy told me I needed a breast lift because my boobs no longer resembled a 19 year olds and then began Googling Plastic Surgeons on his phone while sitting in the restaurant on his 3rd bottle of wine). I find it's a good idea to monitor how much alcohol is being drunk in a dinner booking just like you would if you were drinking at your place when someone brings you a bottle of champagne.

iii. Out of your depth / nerves - I've been to some restaurants that make me feel VERY uncomfortable which can mean I keep knocking over my glass of wine, knock forks off the table, say stoooopid things and the list goes on. This can happen for a few reasons including being out of practice of walking in heels so walking in heels in front of a bunch of fancy people makes me nervous and raises my anxiety levels; having to sit still with my ankles together and not fidget makes me want to jump around and makes me nervous; sitting in front of rich people makes me nervous because they all eat so elegantly and know how to get the lobster out of the shell without it flying across the room AND they know how to eat oysters properly - I'm scared I'll embarass my client and make him feel uncomfortable that I'm a fraud; nervous I'll see someone from my real life and get caught (not that it matters to me really); nervous my client will hate me if I can't make sophisticated conversation; looking at all the happy married woman with rings that cost more than my entire family and extended family will make in 2 life times makes me sad/nervous/pissed off/edgey.... and the list goes ooooooon.

Whatever your triggers are, you have to be able to keep your shit together and find ways to cope. These things may be...

• drink - have a glass of wine, but don't drink so much so you make a dick of yourself, fall over, talk to much etc
• if you're client is lovely, tell him you feel a bit edgey and he will think it's cute and look after you and be extra considerate and make you feel comfy
• breeeeeeeathe
• go to the toilet, look in the mirror and tell yourself 5 times you're going to be fine
• sneak out of the restaurant and call a hooker friend and ask them to tell you 5 times you're going to be alright and it's all a little bit hilarious and you wont be at dinner forever you just need to get thru the next few hours
• sneak out of the restaurant and have a cigarette (even if you don't smoke)
• ask the guy lots of questions so he is doing all of the talking so you don't say dumb things, g yourself up and you distract yourself in someone elses life
• know in yourself you've done way harder things in life and you deserve to be there and you can pull off anything successfully and it's all good practice
• order food that is easy to consume and you know how to use the cutlery for. I am shite at twirling spagetti in my spoon and getting it into my mouth; I am shite at using those lobster tong things; I am shite at using those snail poppers..... so I don't eat food that involves eating with cutlery that I don't understand which will make me feel more anxious if I have to use it

iv. No physical contact - one of the hardest things I find in dinner bookings is that 99% of the time there is no body contact. I am an extremely tactile person and I communicate alot by touch and talking in a certain way which is not appropriate at dinner. If you have never met your client before it can feel like you're at a polite business dinner rather than on a raunchy, lovely, intimate date. Actually they can be alot like a blind date in that you can feel awkward, the power is not in your hands, you have no control over him or your surroundings. In a booking at your home you know the guy adores you because he has a hard on and looks at you with yummy eyes, you dictate the timing of everything and the game is the tease. In public boys will completely control this and not look at you with adoring eyes, will not giggle and love to be teased... so it can make dinner bookings feel very awkward. To avoid this I try and have me as the entree and dinner as the mains... if he's really lucky and there's time left, he may even get desert! Let's face facts... bonking someone is a BRILLIANT ice breaker!

v. Run out of time - Timing is really important if you are charging for a 4 hour dinner booking with a reduced rate. You don't want to be at dinner for 4 hours, travelling for 1 hour (1/2 hour to get to dinner and 1/2 hour to get back to your place) and then have to do 2 hours back in the room, if you are only charging for 2 hours at dinner and 2 hours in the room. Basically it could mean you're doing 3+ extra hours for no rate at all and that's not fair on you or the other escorts you're undercutting (not that the industry respects that principal these days).

It's important when you make the booking you know where you're going for dinner so know how long to qoute the gentlemen it is going to take. If you are going for degustation, dinner will take 4 hours and then 2 hours in the room, so you'll need to change the rate or be aware how many hours your doing for your money so you don't get pissed off half way thru dinner. If you're at dinner and it's running over time ie. you're booked for 2 hours at the restaurant and you've already been there 3 hours and there is no end in site to dinner, then say the words "we need to leave now or my love we're going to have to talk about extensions". Remember it is up to you to maintain control at all times - you are the professional so if it goes pear shaped or over time, it really is down to you. Oh and don't order a souffle if you are on the 2 hours at dinner and 2 hours in the bedroom booking!

vi. Wait staff are rude and/or service is crap - this happens at many restaurants. Let's face facts, service and restaurant are not two words that go together well. If you find the service is crap, don't tell the waiter off in front of your client. Tell your client you're going to the toilet and sneak over to the head waiter / owner etc and have a quiet word with him. I went to Wildfire down at Circular Quay and they made my client and I sit outside on a freezing, rainy, windy night for 95 minutes before I snuck off and lost the plot to the Manager. During this time we watched patrons doing cocaine deals, had a drunk girl spill a drink on me and I turned purple from the cold. I've also been having a degustation meal and the waitress kept taking the plates out from under us before we finished. If they make you wait for your table, don't take your order fast enough, don't deliver the food on time, it will blow out your booking from 2 hours at dinner to 3+. If the service is crap, if the food is crap, if they bring the wrong bottle of wine that costs 3 times the amount of the one he ordered, it will mean your client doesn't have the perfect experience he has dreamt of. If anything goes wrong, I see it as my duty to advocate on my clients behalf without him knowing about it. Be sneaky, be appropriate, but get what you want, when you want it and don't take a restaurants shit.

7. Where to meet for a dinner booking

Make sure you meet you're gent either in his hotel room or at your place. Never agree to meet a man in a bar or at the restaurant because...

• you may end up at different restaurants because you both thought it was at a different place
• he may be making a false booking - the amount of ladies who have agreed to meet their client in a bar and he no shows is staggering. Some critters like to say they will meet the lady in a bar or at the restaurant. He will go there, sit and perver at her as she gets more and more frustrated that he is going to no show. Sure enough he no shows but was sitting there the whole time watching her getting his rocks off and having a laugh at her expense
• it's nice to meet behind closed doors so you can have a smooch before you leave to break the ice
• you can make sure he is dressed appropriately for the type of restaurant you're going to. If he is under dressed or over dressed, you may want to change which restaurant you go to so he doesn't feel uncomfortable

8. Who's name to make the reservation in

I generally make the reservation myself in a fake name. This is for his discretion so he doesn't need to divulge his name within ear shot of me when he gets there by having to tell the staff the name he booked it under. I use a fake name because if the client no shows, you can be black listed from restaurants in Sydney. Restaurants these days do keep databases and will look you up when you book, so if you have not turned up for reservations, then you wont get a booking next time you try to go.

9. Who Pays for dinner

Under NO circumstances should you EVER EVER EVER pay for dinner. Some ladies say they build the cost of dinner into their rates so they pay, but to me that is absolutely insane. If you do pay for dinner, don't tell me about it because it will give me the shits. Make sure you take enough money to pay in case your client turns into an ugly mug creep and refuses to pay.

10. How much to charge

Most ladies these days give a discount on dinner bookings and have packages for dinner bookings depending on length of time spent in a restaurant and length of time in the bedroom. Some ladies don't even charge for the time spent at dinner and fall for the line "but you should be grateful I am taking you to a nice restaurant you wouldn't be able to afford to go to, so you shouldn't charge me for time at the restaurant". If a guy says that to me I hang up in his ear, exit the chat room, delete his email... he's gooooone!

Whatever you charge is your business, just remember you're in public so taking risk, you're entertaining someone, you're being perved at, you're being professional, you're taking time away from your friends & family so CHARGE for it. People pay for your time and how they choose to spend that time is up to them. You shouldn't be penalised and asked to work for free if they choose to spend that time at dinner.

To work out a price you are comfortable charging, have a look at what other ladies are charging to get an idea of what the going rate is. Then have a talk to yourself and work out how much you'd feel comfortable with charging. Never ever base your rate entirely on what everyone else is charging. My dinner booking rate is my full rate, I do not discount which is very rare these days. Your time, your body, your business, your decision :) The consequence of not discounting is you may lose bookings, but I'd rather lose a booking than spend time with someone who does not respect my skill, my professionalism, my time, my need to pay rent and me.

11. Who gets picked for dinner bookings

[1]

In my experience, people who get picked for dinner bookings have the following things in common..

• price point - ladies who do packages
• more mature / older ladies (33+)
• ladies who market them - ladies who talk about their favorite wine, restaurants etc on their websites, will generally do more dinner bookings for some reason
• larger sized ladies - all the ladies I know who do tonnes of dinner bookings are all size 14+. Two BBW I know say it's because men want to enjoy the food and share the experience which they couldn't so with a size 6 - 8 girl who only pecks at food
• ladies who blog - prove they can make conversation and the guy already feels like he knows them well so they want to spend extended period of time with you doing things you'd do if you were friends.
• ladies with regulars
• ladies who market to overseas / Interstate gents - most men do dinner bookings when travelling because they don't know many people in the State they are in so wont get caught in public
• ladies with larger boobs - don't ask me why, but every lady I have met with large boobs does shit loads of dinner bookings!
