First dates

minimum 5000
duration dependent on availability
I love to meet new people.
It’s one of the things that first drew me to this world, and it’s probably the main thing keeping me from taking this website down entirely.
I love to figure out what makes people tick, I love to learn from people who are knowledgeable in areas I’m not, and I love the feeling of falling a little for someone new.
While I don’t have as much time for first dates as I used to, I do occasionally find myself with an evening free in New York and no plans (or plans and no date). Occasionally, I might find myself with a morning free in your city while traveling.
Just tell me…
How much time you have.
If you have a particular date in mind.
If you have a particular activity you want to do together or a place you want to travel together.
If you have a particular budget in mind.
Please note that I no longer keep set rates for my time. I meet new suitors because I want to, not because I need to. However, If you’d like an idea of my last published rates, you can find them here.
If you’re willing to make it worth my while or cover my opportunity cost, I’m willing to invent time to meet you.
*If we are already acquainted but don’t have an arrangement, I’m always delighted to catch up, previous rates apply.
notes
RUSH SCREENING
It is rare that I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, but I’ll do my best if you screen in advance. For last minute requests from new admirers, a surcharge applies.
Add 500.
–
COVID
I am fully vaccinated, and always happy to schedule a rapid test on the day of our date.
Add 150.
–
COUPLES & PLUS ONES
I’ve long lived by the phrase, “the more the merrier”. I love entertaining couples.
Add 500.
If you would like me to bring a plus one, please provide separate envelopes with our individual rates enclosed.
While not mandatory, if rates differ, those possessing the utmost class typically rate match whomever’s rate is higher.
–
DEPOSITS & PAYMENT OPTIONS
A 25% deposit is required to guarantee our date. If you choose not to send one and I receive another request with a deposit, you will have to reschedule.
I accept cash, crypto, bank transfers, and certain gift cards.
I no longer accept credit cards, and don’t use apps like Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, etc.
Payment instructions will be made available upon completion of your screening.
–
CANCELLATIONS
On the extremely rare occasion that I have to cancel, I will reverse digital deposits within 48 hours. Other forms of deposits can be applied to a future date.
If you need to cancel, I'll be disappointed but I'm generally understanding.
48 Hours or More
Your deposit can be applied toward the date we reschedule for.
Less than 48 Hours
Your deposit will be taken as a cancellation fee. A new deposit will be required to reschedule.

LATE NIGHTS
I’m happiest and healthiest when I keep a consistent sleep schedule and wake before the rest of the city, but some experiences require exceptions. For dates concluding after 10pm, a pumpkin tax applies.
Add 1000.
(or just make it an overnight.)
–
OVERNIGHTS
Dates requiring overnight accommodation should begin at the overnight venue.
(I’m not known for packing lightly).
To ensure I maintain my cheerful disposition on extended dates, I highly recommend allowing for the following:
Eight uninterrupted hours of beauty rest per night
One uninterrupted hour to get ready each morning
One hour each day for personal correspondence during multi-day travel.
