So yea I was just wondering if it's illegal to hire escorts? Its seems to me escort is just another term for prostitute. My intentions wouldn't be to have sex with an escort just hang out for a date. I feel like I either need to start seeing a therapist or paying people to go out on a date. I don't know how to meet people my social anxiety is becoming overwhelming, it seems like the older I get. I figure hiring and escort to go out on a date with would help me practice with it, but if its illegal I don't want any part.
