Hello everyone!
My name's Layla and I am REALLY new, I haven't even seen my first client yet. I am working in Rome, Italy. I just posted my ads online and I've been getting quite a few calls but I have to tell everybody I'm only available on Monday - it seems here in Rome punters like to call and come straight away rather than book a certain time.
I'm 25 and I've been thinking about this for a LONG time, I've done a lot of research and I've been an avid reader of saafe,
[removed - we don't discuss other forums here ] but today I'm still a bag of nerves after taking the first calls.
Basically I've got a really good degree and I'm quite clever, speak 3 languages, love travelling... but I've hated every job I've done until now. I almost became a lawyer and then I quit. Then I worked in the "culture" field. Then I worked organising events. But I seriously hated all of it. I used to organise parties for embassies and diplomats and when I was at the events I always got so much attention from all these old diplomats I thought... they must be lonely here in a foreign country, they move around every 4 years, etc... And it got me thinking about escorting. I used to flirt with the guests at the event all the time - i just enjoyed it - and my boss was a bit annoyed.
I'm not money-mad, but I do need to survive and I think it must be paying more than my last job (I worked flat out all day for pittance) and although not as much as a high flying lawyer I couldn't stand those hours (my friend is a lawyer in London... jesus).
I love sex and I'm not really squeamish about anything. I really hope this is going to work out for me. It could really be what I was made to do!
Fast forward 6 months or so and here I am. I'm so nervous. How did you all feel when you posted your first ads and took your first calls? I feel so strange.
The only major downside is I do have a boyfriend who would go absolutely mad if he found out and I think that would really be the end of us. But I have thought about it and I think at this point in my life I would really value some more independence (at the moment on my current earnings I basically rely on him for a lot) and I'd like to do something I enjoy, which also leaves me enough time in the day to pursue my passions (of which there are many and I feel I've neglected basically all of them since university, running after a 9-5 ((read 9-7/8pm in most cases)) ).
Sorry for the long post and the double brackets.
IN SHORT: Hi I'm new!
