Etiquette, the short version
Most etiquette guides in this industry are lists of obvious things written to fill a page. There are perhaps six that genuinely matter, and every one of them is about making her comfortable — which is, not coincidentally, what makes the evening good for you.
Be clean and be sober-ish
The first is obvious and still worth saying: shower, fresh shirt, brush your teeth. She notices within three seconds, and it sets the tone for everything after.
On drinking — a few is fine and normal. Visibly drunk is where evenings go wrong: judgement slips, boundaries blur, and a professional will end it. You will have paid for nothing.
The envelope
Cash goes in an envelope, left visible on a surface when she arrives — the dresser, the desk, the side table. She will not touch it while you are in the room and will not count it in front of you.
Never hand it over directly, and never make it a moment. The entire point is that it happens without either of you acknowledging it, so the evening does not start with a transaction.
If you are paying by transfer, settle it before she arrives.
Give her fifteen minutes
Nobody is at their best walking into a room having just met someone. Pour a drink, ask about her day, let the first fifteen minutes be ordinary.
Evenings that are rushed at the start are stiff throughout. Evenings that begin slowly tend to find their rhythm quickly — this is the single most reliable thing in this entire guide.
Talk to her like a person
She is not performing an interview. Ask what she is interested in, not what she does for other clients. Do not ask how many people she sees, how she started, or whether she enjoys it — those questions are tiring, and everybody asks them.
The clients companions genuinely like are the ones who are curious about them as people. That is not sentimentality; it is why some people get preferential availability and better rates and others do not.
Boundaries are not a negotiation
Whatever was agreed in advance is what the evening is. If she says no to something, that is a full sentence and pushing it ends the booking.
Equally: say what you want before, through us, not at the door. Everything is easier to arrange in advance and awkward to raise in the moment.
When plans change
Running late, dinner overrunning, wanting to extend — all normal, all fine, all fixable. Message us rather than improvising with her.
Extending is usually possible if she has no plans afterwards, and it is handled in two minutes. Assuming rather than asking is what creates problems.
The end of the evening
There is no ceremony required. Thank her, see her out, and if you would like to see her again, tell us — she may have a preference too, and repeat bookings are easier for everyone.
If something did not go well, tell us rather than her. We would genuinely rather know, and it changes who we suggest next time.
None of the above is complicated, and none of it is about manners for their own sake. An evening where she is comfortable is an evening that is good — the two are the same thing, and every experienced client already knows it.
