Hi guys,    
I'm new to the forum thinking about hiring for the first time. I've been reading some of the threads with advice for first timers, which have been super helpful, but I still have a couple lingering questions. I would really appreciate any help (and apologies in advance if my questions are super basic).  
 There's a lot of advice on protecting one's privacy, so do clients generally use their real name when contacting escorts? Is it okay to use a different name? 
Is it better to have the first session at the client's own place, the escort's, or something like a hotel room? 
Do clients tip in addition to the rate? Is that a thing? 
Anything else I must know?  
 
Thanks in advance!
