Rental Boyfriend Website Development

I’m launching an “online rental boyfriend” service and need a web-only platform (no mobile app at this stage). The experience must revolve around a request-based booking flow: visitors browse listed companions, send a booking request for a chosen date and time, then wait for the companion to accept or decline. Once the request is sent, a private on-site chat should open so both parties can iron out details; if the request is declined, the thread locks automatically.

Key deliverables
• Responsive website with a clean landing page, profile gallery and basic search/filter.
• Booking request module that captures preferred slot, shows pending/approved status and notifies both sides by email.
• Secure real-time (or very fast) messaging system tied to each booking request, closing 24 hours after the scheduled session ends.
• Admin dashboard to view users, bookings, flags/reports and manually override a decision when needed.
• Payment placeholder (Stripe or similar) ready for future activation.
• Source code in Git and final deployment on my hosting, plus a short hand-over video.

I’m comfortable with Laravel, Node/Express or a React front end, but I’m open to any modern stack you can justify as scalable and secure. Please outline your proposed tech, timeline (ideally around four weeks) and any similar work you’ve completed so I can see how you’d bring this concept to life.
