I’ve been working 6 years and I still hate outcalls to hotels. I get anxiety and overthink about getting stopped, people looking at me or what I’m going to wear to detract attention on myself. I’ve done many outcalls and I have anxiety until I get into the hotel room. I really don’t know how to overcome this as I’m seriously losing money from not taking these bookings. Whether I take an outcall booking depends on the mood I’m in. I much prefer going to someone’s private place than a hotel, which is strange as it’s usually the opposite for some people. I think it comes from many bad experiences from fake bookings to moody receptionists that have many questions. How do I just get over this as I think it’s ridiculous I’ve worked this long and i still feel like this

I  get myself into mindset of 'I'm going to my room, I am supposed to be here', I like to have as much of the client's name as possible but have never yet been asked. Just act normal. I also try to avoid visiting the same hotels in a short period of time.

I take a deposit - i never worry about hotels - you can be just another tourist or business traveller

I no longer offer outcalls but when I did them I always inwardly groaned but never had any problems. Similar to Mirror my outcall (home to client) attire was sensible flat or low heeled shoes/plain long coat or if in summer then a long skirt and lightweight sweater or top. A pair of specs always made me feel more invisible and though I need them now the ones I wore then were often non prescription. Hair in a pony tail which I would remove and fluff my hair out before knocking on his room door. Heels and other stuff obviously in a small holdall.

I was slightly paranoid that everyone might know "what" I was but I think I got it right so once in his room the nerves disappeared.

I'll never forget one man asking if I would arrive in thigh boots and mini dress. Err no!   That was for hotel visits. I rarely did home visits but again used my brain and all went smoothly 🙂
