Belle, who has a day job as a human resources manager, freelances for Pally, a local company which provides friends-for-hire. Anticipating our question, Belle told The New Paper: "It's all professional and clean, all my clients respect the boundaries and know where to draw the line.
No inappropriate touching is allowed - customers can only make just enough bodily contact to keep up appearances. Pally offers companions for different situations. There is demand for her services and on most weekends, she will have at least one customer to accompany, said Belle. Before the meeting, the customer and companion will have a discussion over the phone to prepare for their "date". Said Belle, who has been doing this for over a year: "I have a script already in my head and I know what to look out for.
All communication is done through an agent at Pally, who sets up the phone discussion between her and the client. They meet up a few minutes before the date or event that she gets paid for, so they have some time to get acquainted.
The customer gets what they pay for and there are no complications. One of them even indicated "other kinds of interests" to her on their subsequent "dates". Belle said she had to be firm.
