Envelope is a good idea, I do try to use one but it's not always possible, the card idea is good but I wouldn't use a thank you one, just doesn't sit right with me and I do recall a thread ages ago about how ladies dislike being thanked by clients on the way out the door and a few ladies posting agreeing, would a thank you card not be as cheesy?

I have to agree with you,
Unfortunately I do have a habit of thanking ladies and on one occasion the lady gave my face a playful slap to show her displeasure.
Now I try never to say 'thank you', but hope that I show my thanks and grattitude in my attitude and demeanour.
Well, I hope I do anyway.
Envelopes are cool alright. Usually have them on me.
I have to say I'm a lot less sophisticated than most of you lot here. I just hand over cash out of my wallet. I know it seems crude, but it is a business transaction even though I would like to fantasize that it isn't. (I have a punting wallet with some spare cash and without any physical identification like cards etc..). I thought of using an envelope but to be honest have never been organised enough. I haven't had any complaints or snide remarks but then I guess that doesn't really mean anything - as whats a girl supposed to say? (Sorry love, I only accept money in an envelope!).
I'd like to see what the overall consensus from this thread is, particularly from the girls. Will change my lack of style if thats whats required.

I have a special wallet, into which I place the €200.
It has a special lock which contains the latest biometric security software. The lock will only open when a sensor categorically identifies my DNA from a fresh sample of my own sperm.
Well, actually I'm lying. I just use a regular wallet. And I don't care if the girl sees if I have an extra 50 or 2. I haven't been ripped off yet.

Although I use an envelope, it probably doesn't matter whether you use one, a thank you card, or just hand over the cash.
As long as both parties are comfortable with the transaction, that's the main thing.
Perhaps what's more important is how we make the lady feel on that first encounter, so the transaction could be done in many ways as long as it's not done in a manner which either cheapens the lady or the occasion.
I don't think that serves any purpose for either party!
