Melissa Joy dates
It's a Date
I prefer dates where we get to know each other over an activity, but I understand if you only can meet on your lunch hour or for a drink after work. There's always next time to see the latest Monet exhibit or dance the night away at your cousin's wedding.
Up to Two hours
Let's break the ice over cocktails, a coffee break or lunch
$500
Up to Four hours
The perfect date combo: Dinner and a movie? Attend a concert then head out for a night cap?
$700
Up to Eight hours
Your head-turning, dancing queen, conversation-starter, plus-one date for your friend's wedding, dance party, college reunion or company mixer. Or, we could meet up for lunch, see the new art exhibit or explore shops in the city and end the day with dinner and relaxation.
$1000
​
Up to Twelve hours
As much as I love showing off the Rose City, I also love an excuse to go for a day's drive and explore Oregon. Let's visit the Willamette Valley, go wine tasting then have dinner in quaint McMinnville. Ice our legs at Cannon Beach marveling at the starfish in the tidepools. Spend the day at McMennamin's Edgefield admiring the quirky art installations and unwind in the salt water soaking pool. Spend the day hiking Multnomah Falls or learn how to windsurf at Hood River.

How do you accept payments?
-
I require a $200 deposit to schedule a date which can be paid by credit card or gift card. For privacy concerns, your card statement will not have my name on it. Once I receive the deposit, I’ll confirm with you and we can set up a quick phone call before meeting. If we're having an online date, the entire fee is paid upfront the day before by credit card.
-
The balance is due in cash when we meet, or can be paid by card within 24 hours before our date.
-
While we’re on our date, any other expenses are to be paid by you.

How much notice do you need to meet up?
If we’ve met before, I can often accommodate same-day with a few hours notice in Portland or if I happened to be visiting your city. For first dates, I need at least 24 hours after receiving your deposit to clear my schedule and make a plan, ideally a few days notice is best. If I'm flying to you I need at least 14 days notice.
What is your cancellation policy?
I understand that things come up and your plans can change, I will do my best to work around your schedule if you need to cancel and postpone our date. As a courtesy I need at least 24 hours notice in writing. Your deposit will go towards another date to be scheduled within 90 days. If you can’t meet again in person within three months, we can reschedule our date to happen online. If I’m traveling to your city (fly/train me to you) I require at least five days notice in order to return the deposit in full. If non-refundable travel costs have been incurred, I’ll retain enough to cover those fees.
If I have to cancel for any reason (which happens only in the most extraordinary circumstances) I would give you as much notice as possible, return all travel fees/deposit and suggest ways I can make it up to you the next time we see each other
