dating agency Explanation: Just wondering whether this could simply mean "dating agency", either innocently or as a "euphemism". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2012-10-31 13:45:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or as a "cover", for that matter. |

private dating club / Matchmaking club Explanation: This is not a literal translation, but might be the same idea. Using "private" before the phrase might suggest a bit more of the sleaziness involved. I don't think that it is actually the phrase itself that needs to contain explicit reference to prostitution, if this is what is being implied. It is the surrounding text that will confirm that. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2012-10-31 14:48:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- With reference to Tony Shargool's comment on "Escort Agency", I intentionally avoided any reference to "escorting" "hostessing" etc because the actual phrase does not say that. I think the idea is being implied in the context and it would be wrong to express something explicitly, when the reference is definitely implicit. Example sentence(s):
