My version would be:
 
“Hey! I saw your profile on Rentmen. I may be interested in hiring you as a companion.
 
Here is what I like doing: kissing with tongue, being on top...
 
Can you host? And how much for X hours of your time?
Based on the above, do you think we are compatible?
If yes, I am available this afternoon or tomorrow evening after 8pm.
 
Thanks!"
 
Basically you can say you want to hire them as a companion and for a price. And you can state what you like. And you can ask if he feels you two are compatible.
 
You shouldn’t say things like “how much more for you to bottom?”

What is wrong with you that you wish homelessness on someone just for being inexperienced and clumsy in a new environment? OP even said he had a good time, the kid was just green around the gills.
 
What exactly is the "lesson" here? Don't be poor? What was his crime, being new? Do you realize how soul-shatteringly hard it is to be homeless for any amount of time, let alone pull yourself out of it? Have you ever experienced poverty, or even spoken to an impoverished person?
 
Think before you speak next time.

Seems happy, whatever he's up to.

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I do work full time with odd hours at my "real" job and frequently travel. I use the "Unavailable" feature during extended periods of time where I literally cannot meet anyone. I like to keep my personal life, work life, and "work life" completely separate
 
Appreciate the kind words, everyone

With Detroit on the US/Canada border, it's not unusual to see Canadian change here. Some stores refuse them, some don't care and accept them as US$0.25. I still remember the excitement in the office when someone discovered the vending machine in the lobby was accepting Canadian quarters. :-)

As a client I'm very concerned about time. I'm the clock-watcher. If it's a 2 hour session, I always set a cellphone alarm for 1-3/4 hours. I want to be alerted to the time to make sure I don't go over the allotted time.
 
Yes, some sessions have exceeded to agreed-to time. But, it was at the escort's choice and not mine.

It all boils down to respect. Disrespectful clients are the absolute worst. I'm sure clients feel the same about disrespectful escorts.
 
1) Follow instructions. If he asks you to give an ETA when you leave your place to head over, give an ETA when you leave to head over. Not 30 minutes after you leave, not when you're 5 min away. If he says to call when you park, don't just show up at his door, do what he asked you to do. If he asks you to text not call, text, don't call. If he asks to call not text, call, don't text. Not following instructions is my #1 client pet peeve.
 
Besides that, 2) being respectful of time is key. Flaking is terrible. Assuming he has unlimited time for endless small talk, or to text or chat with you while you make up your mind is also very bad. Ghosting after exchanging a ton of messages is rude. Hitting up an escort to meet with the expectation that he doesn't need any prep time is something the worst clients do. This assumption that some have that providers have no life outside of escorting and no resaponsibilities besides catering to one guy's needs is very off-putting.
 
3) And lastly, a related to all of the above, please don't treat providers like they're stupid or unworthy of respect. That's a big no-no. If he's giving you instructions, there's a smart reason for them, show respect by following them. Respect his time. Don't talk down to him. Use complete sentences -- he's not an idiot. Don't order him around (unless that's part of the scene). Don't force him to drink alcohol if he doesn't want, don't push/pull him around etc.
 
4) Be clear, concise, and direct about your needs and expectations. That solves a lot of problems. Do not force him to probe and drag it out of you what you're looking for, when, where, concerns, needs, expectations, etc. Just spit out. Tell him. It's so much easier for all involved than a neverending series of hellos, his, how/where are yous, wyd, and i like your pictures/reviews.
 
Kindness and respect go a long way. Unfortunately, the clients and escorts who need to hear this aren't on this forum.

A very good subject.
 
Apart from the obvious [never flake (or if you have to, compensate), never “forget” to pay in full, shower just before (hopefully together), brush your teeth ], I can only think of a few things I try to remember doing each time:
 
- Remind him he is allowed to say no or to say stop at any time (like in any relationship).
- Tell him what you like doing, rather than give orders.
- Bring condom, lube, poppers, viagra, just in case he has forgotten.
- Show some interest in him: a simple “so, are you busy with other activities, these days?” can open a long conversation, but doesn’t demand one.
 
Interested in what others do.

And I would also say that an ignorance of pop culture is a poor indicator of general ignorance. There are plenty of educated cultivated people who find pop culture repellant.

And I know the name Mel Brooks, but I couldn't pick him out of a crowd or name one of his films. You can't complain about ignorant youth and then admit to ignorance yourself. You have a personal connection with those movies, just as someone my age has a personal connection with Lady Gaga's music-- that doesn't make either of them better than the other, it just means we like different things and appreciate the pop culture we grew up in.
 
"The youth are ignorant" has been said about every generation in history, and almost always amounts to "they don't like the things I like, which makes them wrong."

got to be a joke. Cody's a great guy and is one of the most frequent commenters here.
 
he's excellent.

I saw him in NYC last year. I thought he was awesome.

Well, seems like I've stumbled in a thread of grumpy (old?) men. (I am teasing, just teasing!)
 
I'm sure a couple of generations from now some young kids will be giving blank stares when Lady Gaga or Beyoncé get mentioned. I don't see the need to get personally offended by that.
 
Everyone has their own interests and will like what they like. It's not an affront to society or you or the person if some random kid doesn't know one particular part of history.

Playing devil's advocate, could a child of the '60s namecheck Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington or the Gershwins?
 
The ignorance of youth is revisited with each and every generation. History repeats itself

No experience with the stuff myself, but I had a client offer me GHB one time. Neither of us had ever heard of it, he said he "got it from some kid back home" (presumably another provider). I declined, he took it himself, and ended up passing out on top of me with his eyes still wide open multiple times, with some limbs twitching to boot.
 
It was only my third-ever encounter with a client and I was terrified. I maintain strict sobriety with my clients now.

He sounds like he's new to it-- like you said, his profile is only a few weeks old. It takes time to find the right balance between waiting for clients to contact you and hitting up your regulars. He'll figure it out in time-- in the meantime, the fact that you had a good enough experience that you left a positive review is a great sign!
 
In my experience, the biggest red flag for a desperate escort is when they start lowering their prices to convince you to hire them.

Too much shame and paranoia in some of these responses.
I am married with kids...but if I see a service boy out and about, I always stop smile and have no problem saying hello.
No body is gonna know your private business, based on a quick greeting.

What is wrong with you that you wish homelessness on someone just for being inexperienced and clumsy in a new environment? OP even said he had a good time, the kid was just green around the gills.
 
What exactly is the "lesson" here? Don't be poor? What was his crime, being new? Do you realize how soul-shatteringly hard it is to be homeless for any amount of time, let alone pull yourself out of it? Have you ever experienced poverty, or even spoken to an impoverished person?
