I had made a date with Helena about 3 years ago, the last time I was in San Francisco, and she regretfully canceled due to an illness and arranged for a friend of hers to substitute (very ably, I must say). But I still felt like I had missed a BIG opportunity, and when I was able to return to the Bay Area on business, I tried again. Helena is super easy to contact by email, responds quickly with enthusiasm and just the information needed. We set up a three-hour dinner date between the end of my business meeting and a red-eye back to Boston. Helena recommended some restaurants near her incall and we agree on one. We emailed several times as the day approached and it was like hearing from your best friend (if you imagine your best friend naked on the other end of the email). Helena provided her address a day ahead, and at the appointed hour I parked at her place in a nice part of Oakland, called her, got her apartment number, and went up. When the door opened, it was a hug and kiss and the start of a great date with the woman (not girl) you have been admiring from afar but never had the guts to ask out. Gentlemen, if you want the best life has to offer, it's worth the price.
