The holiday party, the awards dinner, the client function where everyone brought someone. A companion comes as your guest: good at small talk with people they have just met, fine with standing near the bar for an hour, and gone by the time you would like to be. Platonic, presentable, and agreed on beforehand.
What happens
When you book, you write the plan: the venue and time, the dress code, who will be there and who matters, and anything to steer clear of. The companion reads it before accepting. A chat opens as soon as you send the request, so you can brief them properly before the night.
Work events run two to four hours as a rule, and you can extend from the booking page if it goes late. Meet somewhere public first — the lobby, a café across the road — rather than arriving from the same car.
They are your guest, not your colleague, and they will not pretend to be one. They will remember the names you gave them, keep the conversation moving, and leave when you do. Drinks and the cab are yours to cover on the spot; the booking covers their time.
On the booking form this is an in-person date, with a plan along the lines of “A work function — party, dinner or reception — in the companion’s own city”.

How booking works
Everyone on the site passes an 18+ age check before they can message anyone. Companions write their own profiles and set their own hourly rate.
You pick a companion, a date and a length. For an in-person date you also write the plan — where, when, what you have in mind — and the companion reads it before accepting. They can decline, and you are never charged for a request they turn down.
A chat opens the moment you send the request, so the two of you can settle the details; it closes when the date is done.
First in-person meetings happen in public places — a café, a restaurant, a busy street — and either person can end any date at any time. Every message is screened, and a person reads every report.
What it costs
The price is their hourly rate times the hours you book, plus a 20% platform fee, shown as one total before you confirm — a two-hour date at $40 an hour, as an example, is $80 to the companion and $96 on your card. They keep 100% of their rate; the fee never comes out of it.
Your card is authorized when you book and charged after the date has happened. If it is declined or cancelled first, the hold is released and nothing is charged. More than 48 hours before the date, a full refund; 24 to 48 hours, 75% back; 2 to 24 hours, 50% back; inside two hours or a no-show, none. Our fee comes back in full at every step, and a companion cancelling is always a full refund.
Questions people ask
Will it look like a date?
It will look like you brought a guest. How you introduce them is your call; most people say a friend. What it will not be is a date in the romantic sense — that is the one rule on the site, for both of you.
Can I brief them beforehand?
Yes. The booking chat opens the moment you send the request, before they have even accepted, so you can settle who is who, what to avoid and when you would like to leave. It closes when the date ends.
What if my plans change?
More than 48 hours before the date, a full refund; 24 to 48 hours, 75% back; 2 to 24 hours, 50% back; inside two hours or a no-show, none. Our platform fee comes back in full at every step. If the companion cancels, you get everything back automatically.
