I've seen a lot of websites for providers who offer a dinner date option. A lot of the gals describe it as an hour on the town and an hour of BCD activities. I have a problem with this on several levels. First, a dinner at a nice restaurant is going to take more than an hour. Unless you consider McDonalds romantic, I consider a nice dinner to take at a minimum 90 minutes-- and that doesn't include travel time to and from the restaurant. I think the only way this would work is if eating at a restaurant that is literally a 2 minute walk from where BCD activities will occur. So, it might work in Manhattan but not in suburbia America. Second, I think most clients can't afford to be seen dining or in public with another woman-- particularly one who is most likely to be very attractive. Talk about awkward moment if you bump into a business colleague or worse-- a friend of your SO. Even if hobbying out of town, you still run the risk of being outed. Third, I find this to be more costly. You not only are paying a multi hour rate (for which you only get 1 hours BCD), but you as the client will most likely be paying for the provider's dinner as well. I'm sure there is a segment of hobbyists that this would appeal to, but I doubt the average hobbyist will indulge. The closest I'd come to doing this is to book a multi hour date and if a time out is needed to re-energize, I'd call room service.

I think you are making a number of erronious assumptions.
One, ANY encounter runs the risk of bumping into someone you know. A cover story is always a reasonable precaution to have, and explaining being at dinner with someone is far easier than explaining the woman coming out of your room.
Second, most dinner dates are indeed discounted. Not all, but most.
Third, most "dinner dates", regardless of the stated time, run long. Generally the 3 hr listed time is the most common I've seen, not 2 hrs. And even an hour and a half is not much for a good meal with an interesting lady. But what I find is however long we spend at dinner, the private time tends to be about the same length--often going well past the stated 3 hrs. Of course YMMV in this, but that's what I have generally seen. In many ways it's quite explainable: the more we are enjoying the dinner and each other's company, the more likely the clock will run slow back in the bedroom. Quite often they seem to run so long that the sun comes up before the time is up.
Dinner dates are not for everyone--I would certainly not claim they are. But it sounds like you are judging something you may not know.
