Eve Allegra

Chi sono

Wine list in one hand, the best bottle on it already chosen, and a smile aimed straight at you before you have decided how to sit. That is usually how it starts. Somewhere between the second glass and the laughter that makes your eyes water, the evening stops being an appointment and turns into something you will still be turning over weeks later.

Everyone's favourite? Guilty. Though with rather more underneath than that phrase suggests.

Who I am

Bright, curious, easily carried away, and carrying a streak of Italian temper that nobody who meets it forgets. I laugh loudly and often, and I have never found much more attractive than an honest smile on a man's face. My days belong to numbers, structure and a very clear head, which is the exact counterweight to the rest of me. Once the evening starts, none of that is yours to worry about. All of my attention is.

I am a dreamer by default. Barefoot in long grass, Audrey Hepburn on a rainy afternoon, historical novels, and a standing daydream about Venice. Like Alice, I fall into moments that should not quite be possible and stay there a while. Just you and me, a third person, or something you have not yet dared say out loud — I am open, I am curious, and I am rarely shocked.

What to expect

You will know it in the first second I am standing in front of you. The smile that promises slightly too much, and the fact that I keep what I promise.

I can hold my own on every level of an evening: sharp conversation, a good table, and then the part where talking becomes unnecessary. My favourite moment is still the first accidental touch of hands over dinner. Purely accidental, obviously. Then the ridiculous heartbeat on the way to the lift, and the look between us that means finally alone.

A spontaneous drive out of the city, a wine tasting, the rooftop bar that gets the light right, an afternoon that begins with a walk and ends somewhere else entirely. However we spend it, for those hours I am completely yours.

Frankfurt is home and I know which of its rooms are worth being in. I also travel very happily. You only have to ask.

Fly me to you

Why leave to chance what you can simply arrange? An exclusive event, a private rendezvous, or an evening you would rather not spend alone — I make a very good plus-one.

What I ask for is business or first class, somewhere pleasant to stay, and a minimum booking of four hours. I need one to two hours to myself each day, and that is precisely what lets me give you everything for the rest of it. On a twenty-four-hour date, seven to eight hours of sleep. We both want to look like ourselves in the morning.

Good to know

My fee is fixed and not open to negotiation. I would ask you to leave it in an unsealed envelope somewhere visible before we begin, without my ever having to raise the subject. Meeting in a restaurant? Then a box of chocolates or a small gift makes a perfectly elegant hiding place. That way neither of us has to think about it again.

A deposit of 20% secures the date.

Travel is charged individually – no flat rates and nothing hidden. For longer distances I find the best train or flight and pass it on at exactly the price I paid, and it should stay in sensible proportion to the length of the booking.

I do not offer incalls as a rule. Your hotel works, and so does lunch or dinner in and around Frankfurt. Social dates are a genuine yes: an exhibition, a gala, or simply a long evening in good company.

Life moves things around and I understand that. If a date has to be moved, the deposit stays with me as compensation, because I will have turned other requests down for you. Cancel at least 48 hours ahead and I turn the deposit into a voucher, so nothing is lost, only postponed. Refunds are unfortunately not possible.

A good evening asks for a well-groomed man and the manners of one. Anyone who pushes past a line, whether by demanding unprotected sex or by using drugs, ends the date on the spot, and there is no refund for that.

If any of this sounds like your kind of evening, write to me. I read everything myself.
