    How much Should I Charge Him? Please Advise?

    A former customer, current friend, has invited me to go to a formal event with him in another city this weekend. I have gone with him to a previous event before, know his entire family, friends, business partners, etc.

    He is a gentleman, doesn't try anything. I do some business with him that is non-stripping/escort related. I make an excellent date, and they always have a salsa band at this event, so I make him look good on the dance floor. Plus everyone knows me, he told them I was his dance instructor or something.

    The last event, I think I charged him $400. Well, this time, its going to be a real hassle for me to come to his city for this black-tie event since I'll be in Houston for work that day, so my drive will be much longer. He says he will make it worth my while financially. There is no sex or sex acts involved. I have travelled extensively with this person and his family, the fee is for my companionship, all of the people in his organization were really impressed with me.

    I'm not dancing anymore, and a lot of the commissions at my current job are deferred. I could totally use the money. I want to charge him $1,000. He has the money, but I don't want to upset him.

    Suggestions? Recommendations? THANKS!

    As a general rule, take what you would make dancing for a night, double it, and that's a reasonable rate for your companionship, regardless of what your doing. In other words, $1000 is totally reasonable.

    I would explain to him how difficult it will be for you to get there, and tell him that you would need $1000 for it to be worth your while. You know him, you know how to play him so he'll do it.

    Pencil in the numbers for extra travel time, expenses, time away from work, and so on. Tell him you need $980 and you wouldn't even consider doing this with anyone else. Act a little stressed by your new career. He'll give you more at some point, just so you'll be available next time.

    I could say you're worth a lot more, and you are, but there's something special about having an honorable gentleman like and respect you.

    Hmmmm....I don't think he's the type of person who needs to hear that he's "the only one." There is no fantasy being played out here. He knows my new business, he is actually referring his family members to me. I've taken care of his daughter. The only reason I want to charge that much is because of the drive, the huge inconvenience of my time, and I'd also be cancelling a fun date in Htown that evening that I would prefer to be at, hands down. So I'm doing it for the money, I even want to charge more.....

    If you charged $400 before, then you were really low-balling your fee. A pretty girl, who is also intelligent, who makes a good impression at a formal event with his friends/associates, plus, considering the drive/hassle factor for you, I think $1000 is even low.

    Okay, so take a chance and ask for $2K, but I don't think you want to risk losing him.

    I know, I know...that's why I need advice! Thanks for the feeback Sportster and everyone...I am not interested in taking all his money, he pays me to consult on a business he is developing. Its really a fee for my inconvenience, I really wish it was on another night, I would have gone for free, but this weekend is really a bitch!

    one other thought, is that if the previous $400 event was before you established the other non-stripping financial relationship with him (I assume with your new job), then asking for any money now could be awkward, and might endanger the other financial relationship totally. In that case you might just want to not bring up the money, and count on him taking care of you financially, and just mention during the course of the night how long the drive was from Houston, etc., without being obvious.

    Kat [smack] WTF are you doing requesting this kind of advice for? You know damn well that drive, the hassle and extra time is worth the extra money, and you know damn well you know how to ask for it without fucking it up. Ask for the $1k and don't sweat it. Do you need to relocate your cojones or something?

    Too much, of course.

    It's only too much if you don't have the money.

    Ooooh, beat me down MooMistress.

    Btw, he has already made it clear that he will pay me for my time at the formal event. The rest is details. This has to be worth it because I will be working about 65 hours here throughout the week, then driving to Houston after a half-day, working with two clients and one or two prospects there for about 5 hours, THEN having to drive another 3.5 hours to another city, cleaning up, putting on formalwear, and being the perfect date, dancing salsa, speaking spanish, entertaining children and old cowboys.....

    ....its rough I tell ya!!

    To be honest, I am very suprised that he offered me money again considering he knows my new career and he is doing other business with me. I guess I'm just THAT badass, LOL!

    Yes, you are . I think $1000 is probably still undercharging but it's a pretty big jump from the $400 you have gotten in the past. If this is a regular thing it may be a good idea to start keeping track of how much time is spent each time you do it. That way you can start to develop a price structure based on time invested.

    It's tough if you like the person. I'm a freelancer in my trade and I always end up ripping myself off when I do work for friends.

    Maybe you could just ask him what he had in mind price wise and then negotiate it from there...that way you arent just throwing a figure at him when he may have expected to pay less(if he is basing it on the last date) If he offers 400 again just politely explain why you need more....besides where is he gonna get such a hot, impressive and TRUSTWORTHY date in time

    Katrine?! What have they done to you at this new job? I've learned at your spunky feet for the last two years. Snap out of it!! Of course he'll pay the grand, you'll inspire more referrals from him, and of course you're worth it. Now go get 'em!

    Got a reply. Yup, he only wants to give me $400. I'm sick as a fucking dog, but I politely wrote back my precarious situation, didn't quote him a price yet. I really just don't even want to deal with this now that I have the flu or something along those lines, bleh.....

    Update:
    I've just decided not to go. I want to stay here and chill, this is the only night of the week I have to myself. I plan to spend it how I want it, pigging out on sushi and masterbating incessantly!!!!!!
