Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Book a Date?
The best way to book a date is through my submission form, which can be found under the “Meet Me” tab on the navigation bar, or by clicking here. Alternatively, feel free to email me at hello@elliechenx01.com with your name, phone number, date details (calendar date, time, length) and the screening requirements found below.
Screening
Screening is required for all friends I haven’t met yet. I don’t accept PD or P411 as screening. All information shared will remain strictly confidential and deleted upon screening completion. I will need two of the following as verification:
LinkedIn profile or other proof of employment (website, badge, work email, etc.).
One form of ID with full name and DOB (address and ID number can be blurred).
Two references from providers you’ve seen in the last year.
Deposits
A 20% deposit is required for all local dates in NY, and a 30% deposit is required for tour dates. This deposit ensures that you’re serious about meeting, and that I’m able to secure time on my calendar for us. Deposits can be sent via CashApp, Venmo, and/or other methods. Once screening has been completed and a date has been set, I’ll send over the digital patronage options.
Cancellations
Cancellations within 24 hours of our scheduled date
The deposit will become non-refundable, and a new deposit will be required to secure any future dates. Additionally, I kindly request the full donation to honor my time and commitment.
Cancellations within 48 hours of our scheduled date
The deposit becomes non-refundable, and you will need to send a new deposit for any future dates.
Cancellations at least 48 hours of our date
The deposit is non-refundable but can be credited toward a future date within 30 days, or however long I’m touring your city.
I appreciate your understanding that unforeseen circumstances may arise, but it's important to note that last-minute cancellations disrupt my schedule, as I plan my day/trip around our confirmed date. Kindly acknowledge that I lead a busy life and value as much advance notice as possible. In the rare instance that I must cancel our date, rest assured that your deposit will be promptly returned on the same day.
The Envelope
I always prefer cash for the donation. Please let me know before our date if you will be opting for a cashless option. This way when I see you, we won’t have to limit our time with the logistics.
If opting for cash:
Please leave the donation in an unsealed envelope in plain view at the start of our date.
If we’re meeting in public, please place the donation in a book, card, or gift bag.
If opting for digital patronage:
Please contact me beforehand for options, and send the donation before/at the start of our date.
Etiquette
I will arrive clean and showered and I expect the same from you. Kindly ensure your nails are neatly trimmed, any grooming is up to date, and take a moment to wash your hands upon arriving for our date. Nothing is more attractive than a freshly showered and clean-shaven gentleman with fresh breath. If you need a few moments to freshen up, feel free to excuse yourself to the bathroom to do so.
Incall/Outcall
I’m happy to make incall accommodations for us upon request. I only accept outcalls to 4 or 5 star hotels, no exceptions.
Duos
Duos are a one-of-a-kind experience! Whether you have a specific friend in mind or are open to exploring with one of mine, I’ll ensure our connection is nothing short of extraordinary. Please note, duo rates are aligned with the highest rate. I have a few friends I do duos with as well - reach out to learn more ;)
Dates Three or More Hours
Dates that last more than 3 hours must include public time. We could go for lunch, dinner, drinks, a movie or show, shopping, museum, dancing, etc. If unable to do so for privacy reasons, please add 500 to the donation. For overnight dates, please allow 8 hours for uninterrupted sleep. For multi-day dates, kindly factor in an additional 1 hour of personal time per day.
In-date Extensions
If we’re having too much fun on our date and you’d like some more time, I’m more than happy to extend our date if my schedule allows. Extending our date is 1000 per hour.
Reviews
The only place I allow reviews is on PrivateDelights. Feel free to read them here. I appreciate discretion and only welcome respectful reviews. Sharing explicit details of our time together online feels invasive and will result in us not meeting again. Thank you for your understanding!
