Tipping, Gifts and the Small Courtesies

The bits around the edge of a booking that nobody explains and a surprising number of people quietly worry about. None of it is complicated, and most of it costs nothing.

Tipping

Not expected. Genuinely not, in the way it is not expected in a London pub rather than the way it is not expected in a restaurant.

If an evening was good and you want to, it is welcome, and it is handled exactly like the rate: cash, in the envelope or beside it, without a conversation. Nobody counts it in front of you and nobody mentions it afterwards.

Nobody thinks less of anybody who does not, and it buys you nothing you would not otherwise get. See how to pay for the convention around the rate itself.

Gifts

A more interesting question, because the answer is not the obvious one.

What works. Small, consumable and impersonal. Good chocolates, a bottle of something, flowers if you are the sort of person who would. The appeal is the gesture rather than the object.

What does not. Anything expensive, anything that implies knowledge of her personal life, and anything she has to carry home on the tube at one in the morning. A large gift creates an obligation, which is the opposite of what a gift is for.

Perfume and lingerie. Both come up and both are a mistake unless she has actually said so. They read as a request rather than a present.

If you want to give something and are unsure, ask us when you book. It is a normal question.

The courtesies that actually register

These matter more than either of the above and they are all free.

• Be on time, or say if you are not. Two minutes on the phone converts a problem into a non event.
• Shower. The single most noticed thing in this entire business. See what to wear.
• Have the right cash, counted. Nobody wants to start an evening making change.
• Offer her a drink. Water at minimum. Most people forget and it takes ten seconds.
• Somewhere to put a coat and a bag. Small, and immediately obvious when it is missing.
• Say when the time is nearly up. Rather than letting it run and then rushing.

Extending

Common and straightforward. Ask before the time is up rather than as she is getting dressed, and leave the extra the same way you left the rest.

She may not be able to, because there may be somebody after you. That is not a judgement on the evening and it is worth asking early enough that it is a real question.

Afterwards

Nothing is required. No message, no follow up, no ceremony. The booking ends when it ends and that is the arrangement working properly.

If you enjoyed it and want to say so usefully, the thing that actually helps is a review on her profile, which other people read and which she sees. Ours are moderated and go up under a first name. Rather more valuable than a tip, and free.

If you want to see her again, our post on seeing the same escort again covers how that works, which is to say: ring and ask for her.

The one that costs nothing and matters most

Cancel properly. With reasonable notice there is no charge and nobody asks why. Cancelling on the day, repeatedly, costs somebody an evening each time and is the one thing that will get a client taken off the books.

That is the whole of the etiquette that is not covered in the etiquette guide. None of it is difficult and all of it is noticed.
