I can't see me charging anyone to just go out to lunch or dinner and watch me eat. And I am the worlds slowest person to eat, promise.I need to start hanging out with Berkleigh
I've gone to brunch and dinner, had drinks and even night clubs or other events off the clock.
That comes with building a rapport as mentioned.
And being screened.
I did just recently offer a 4 hour Dinner/Drinks & Date in my recent AD and Showcase.

And I definitely wouldn't pay an hourly rate for dinner. I like to eat at nice restaurants and sometimes dinner can run long. Am I to pay for another hour just because the kitchen screwed up our order? Nevertheless, if I were to ask a provider to dinner only, it would be one that I was very familiar with and would probably plan for it to be a day that she had nothing going on or the week she's out of commission.
I understand that a girl's time is valuable and while she's there she isn't making money. And the girl is also providing a service by being with that person and giving them the attention they're looking for. But I feel that some providers going rate for a night out is a little ridiculous. Which is why I could only assume that many of them don't actually get asked to dinner with no assumptions of service. If I'm paying your going rate, we're not spending the time chatting and eating... Well at least not eating dinner.
However, this all still begs the question of why not just ask a non-professional to dinner and save what seems could be 100s or 1000s of dollars?
