There is always an influx of newbies and who might benefit from a refresherette:

1.  Dominos pizza delivers in a half hour or hour.  Most providers cannot.  Gents who call a suburban provider for an appointment in the city at 6:00 and say:  "I am downtown and would like to meet you at 7:00" are likely to get turned down.  We do not sit by the telephone peeling grapes (thanks Ciara for coining this phrase) waiting for calls, prepped and ready.  More likely we're in blue jeans and sweater, with our hair pulled back, with friends, shopping, or doing housework.  We are real people too.  It generally takes us a minimum of 1 hour just to prepare (freshly bathed, hair fixed, cosmetics applied) and then an hour or so drive time downtown.  Plus, we haven't even addressed we need time to prescreen you, either via RS2K, Datecheck or Preferred 411, or other (if we are even available).  "Failure to adequately plan on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine."  If you are coming to town and want to see a particular lady, take the time to contact her in advance.

2.  Prescreening.  Gents  read the provider's website before contacting her.  If you are uncomfortable with the information the provider requests for prescreening, simply move on.  The more you try to convince a provider to accept less than she asks for, the more she will become convinced that you are not someone she wishes to see.  An e-mail "I will be in Chicago on whatever date with a photo is not prescreening."  What does this tell me about the person requesting the appointment... absolutely nothing other than they do not value my safety or theirs.  

3.  The provider's website contains instructions for contact.  In most instances, it also provides; the hours she is available, any minimum age requirements, any minimum appointment lengths, incall and outcall info, methods of payment, instructions for contact or a webform.  If a provider lists a telephone number on her site its not an invitation to call 24/7.  We do have lives. I take my last appointment no later than 9:00 p.m.  Calls at 12:00 a.m or 2:00 a.m. are not answered.

4.  Ignoring preferences.  So you are 21, indicate you are 41, and then finally admit your true age.  She cancels and you are mad! Did you think that when you arrived at the appointment she would see you anyways?  She would probably ask you to leave.  She will wonder to herself "If he lied about his age, what else did he lie about?"

5.  Want to talk.  I don't think the line at the grocery store, or out with friends or family, is the time to discuss your favorite fantasies.  If we answer calls when out, we remain businesslike due to the environment or who we are with.  It is polite to ask first, "Is this a good time to talk? or "When can we talk?"  

6.  Doubles appointments.  These take time to arrange.  We are talking about coordinating 3 schedules.  Calling and saying "I'd like to see you in 2 hours and do you have a friend who can join us," is not often possible.  Calling for a same day doubles appointment, unless two providers advertise they are doing doubles on a certain day, is difficult (if not impossible) to arrange.  And guys, unless a special doubles rate is posted, the cost for doubles is the full donation for each provider.  Chances are you will be paying for "outcall" for at least one lady (which may be at a higher amount). So before you ask about a doubles appointment, you may wish to make sure that you have the financial resources available.

7.  Last Minute Incall appointments.   Having a "set incall" does not mean the lady lives there.  They may not and need time to travel to their incall.  Or they could be out to lunch with friends.  You may get lucky and they  are at their incall and available.  If you must schedule last minute, you take your chances as to whether she is available to see you immediately.

8.  Incall location.  Some providers have a "set" incall location. Others may use different locations.  If a provider has a "set incall," she does not offer incall appointments in other areas.  If you want to meet at a different location, this is an outcall appointment and you are responsible for both the outcall donation and the accomodations. Providers who use different locations will generally post the location of where she plans to host on either her website calendar or a local discussion board.

9.  Calling multiple times.  I had a gentleman call me 6 times in a row, no message, while I was on a 5 minute telephone call.  This is just rude and annoying!  The person I am speaking with deserves my complete attention.  Unless its a personal call that can be returned later, I am not going to put caller #1 on hold to take another call.  Calling repeatedly within a short span is obsessive and discourteous.  The call waiting alert is disruptive when someone is on the phone.  Or perhaps the provider may be on the phone with a client who has just arrived.  Either call back later, leave a message or send an e-mail.  We will call you back as soon as we are able.  Please give us guidelines as to when you can be reached "without putting you in a difficult situation."  I often get calls on days when I am unable to return them during normal business hours.  I am reluctant to return the call in the evening or the next day as I do not know the gent's situation.  Perhaps he was off when he called and able to take calls.  Perhaps with his family the next day and can't talk.  If you do not hear back, feel free to call the provider again give information such as "you can call me during the week between 9:00 and 4:00."

10.  Blocked calls.  Guys, you should know better.  I would venture a guess than a good 80% of provider websites state clearly that they do not accept blocked calls.  If your phone is blocked, its simple to override.  Just punch in *82 and then the number.

11.  Room Service 2000, Date Check or Preferred 411.  Each require different information for verification purposes.  If you call from more than 1 number, register both numbers.  Keep your information current.  If you have moved or changed numbers, update your information.  If the service you have registed with is not available 24/7 you should know this in advance.  If they are busy, it may time to get a verification.  

12.  References.  Some providers accept references.  Most require that you provide them with; how to contact the reference (phone or e-mail), website address & when seen. It may take a day to get a reference from a provider if she is busy or works part-time.  Also, check her schedule to see if she is on vacation.  Ask the provider if you may use her.  Some ladies only take references from ladies you have seen within 6 months or a year.  Others only give references a certain period.


13.  Inappropriate content.  The quickest way to have your e-mail deleted without response is to write inappropriate comments or ask inappropriate questions in your correspondence.  

As providers, we hate turning down "good potential clients," but it is sometimes necessary."  Generally not because of anything we have control over, but rather because of lack of planning.  We understand that some gents must make last minute appointments, and we make every effort to accomodate them when we can.  However, there are others who just do not take the time to do so and we must sadly decline to meet with them.  Also, when someone fails to provide all of the prescreening we require, time is wasted by sending e-mails back and forth to get everything we need.

This is supposed to be about having fun!  We want you to have fun and enjoy yourselves.  We want to enjoy you!
