Be natural 
Treat this date just like any other. Dress presentable, be respectful, and make a personal connection with your escort.


Be polite
Respect your escort by being courteous and using good manners.


Examples:


* If your escort is a woman, open doors and pull out her chair for her.
* If your escort is a man, express gratitude for his kind deeds.
* If your escort is non-gender conforming, do any or all of the above.
* Don’t forget to say “please” and “thank you!”


Compliment them
Remember, escorts are trained to be stand-in romantic partners, and they’ll appreciate your kind words (so long as they are appropriate and respectful). 


Examples:


“You have a great laugh!” 


“You are so bright and witty!”


“Wow, you look really beautiful in that dress.”


Ask open questions
Ask your escort questions about their life and listen attentively to their reply. Don’t be afraid to ask about their work (as their job is just like any other), but keep it light and avoid making lewd statements or asking inappropriate questions. 


Examples:


“What’s your favorite type of food?”


“What do you like to do for fun?”


“What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you while at work?”


Tell them about yourself
As you learn about your escort, it’s only natural that you will also open up about your life (just as you would on any other date). Use your sharing as a lead-in to learn more about her to keep the conversation balanced.


 Examples:


“I’m a huge fan of reggae music. What kind of music are you into?”


“I’m work for an architectural landscaping firm, so I know a lot about plants. What’s your favorite plant or flower?”


“I play classical piano and violin. I can play popular tunes on both instruments if you have any song requests?”
