I need to tap the vets here. So things are going well with you and your new fave and you ask if she does anything OTC and she gives you her number. You call in a few days and line something up. I am assuming that the default is that the PL lines up the motel room. Assuming that it is in your town, what next? Any tricks to cover your tracks? Pay with cash? Sign under different name? Don't put down your real address, since who would get a room in your own town? Give her a key? Tell her the room number and to meet you at the room? Meet at bar first? Do it in the daytime? Watch to see if anyone comes with her or is waiting in her car? Insist on showering together first? Hide your money someplace in case she and it goes missing when you pop into the bathroom? Leave it in an envelope and there is no discussion about it? What are some common scams--usually just grab and dash? Getting some money upfront and a no-show?
What is the endgame--if you shoot too quickly, is everything over in 15 minutes and she grabs the money and leaves? Does she stay for the full time, talking baseball or women's shoes? What is a good sign--if she is the first to suggest that you get together again? Is it understood that you bring all the necessary stuff with you? When does the radar go up that she may be pursuing you more than you are comfortable? If her preferred mode is texting, how do you do it? Do you use a code word, or just write "Monday, 10:30 am, Super 8?" or something like that?
I know it sounds like I couldn't find my ass with both hands, but I do appreciate any tips.
