Dear Betty:
When looking on the surface what are three things that you ascertain about a potential client from pre screening? Also what is your point system for screening and what items to you tend to give more value to in the course of your evaluation? Finally, do you tend to give more preference to those guys who do have a date-check or preferred 411 membership and do you hold it in the same regards as if you would go to a certain manual to see what doctors are the most proficient in certain things in their medical specialty? Also would you also say for the purpose of hobbying that it separates those who are in the know from an informational standpoint from those who are not? Finally what would be your verification sites of choice and why and what particular information are you looking at from them?

This is a follow up on Victoria's thread below on a No Call, likely No Show.

I'm guessing I'm like most hobbyists in that I have a running bucket list of ladies I'd like to see, in addition to my favorite repeats. I like to book well ahead, but given the rare last minute schedule change or no contact as a date draws near, I occasionally am faced with a last minute attempt to find a date. If she's not someone I've seen and has a responsible screening policy, that can be difficult.

I've sometimes considered contacting someone I plan on seeing to give her my screening information even though I don't have a specific date in mind, with the idea that a shorter notice date might be easier to set up. Many ladies specifically state "only contact me if you're serious". I get it - with all the legitimate emails and calls you get, the last thing you need is a bunch of window shoppers. In this case, I'm serious, but without the specific date yet. What are your thoughts?

It gives us some time to get to know each other and might make a future meeting possible that otherwise wouldn't have.

Especially coming from someone with some reputable providers.   I suspect it might be harder for high volume providers to accommodate pre-screening.  It can't to ask, especially, if it's written in a well thought out note.

It is a good idea I do it all the time because guys email me and want to be cleared in advance. It does not mean he will be a last minute person , but it helps to set it aside. As long as you are patient, book hours or a day in advance and confirm so you consider two at the same time always be patient and follow through with
your date even if you think you may not see her always make sure that you are on before scheduling elsewhere . This can happen when you are unsure of anything . Make sure plans are not falling through.

I appreciate it when someone contacts me to get the screening out of the way ahead of time.  So I am all for it.

However, like you said, sometimes the mood strikes, or you may find yourself with a little extra time in your schedule.  Lining up a last minute date can be difficult due to screening.  If you become a member of Datecheck or Preferred411 your screening is done ahead of time!  You can also browse both sites for verified ladies to see.  Knowing that only legitimate providers are permitted on both of these sites, is comforting to know as well.

Preferred411:  https://www.preferred411.com/index.cfm

I like both sites.  Date-Check is a little more colorful.  I have heard from some of my clients that Preferred411 is easier for them to view at work because it does not appear to be an escort site if someone should happen to look over your shoulder while you are on.  I recommend checking them both out, and deciding for yourself which one you feel more comfortable with.  

Another way to become a member on either site is ask the next lady you see to invite you or provide a reference for you to become a member.  I know Date-Check offers a free 90 day membership if you want to give it a trial run.  You must be invited by a provider who is a verified member in good standing to receive the free trial on Date-Check.

Happy Hobbying!  Betty xoxo

She signed me up with both sites.  Then emailed me and told me to sign up the rest of the way. Really made me feel good.

Here are some basic answers to some of your questions....

3 things I extrapolate from prescreening?.... references, personal information, and personality

Point system?.... I do not have one.

More preference to guys who use DC or P411?.... simple answer....No.

The verification sites of choice are pretty obvious in my opinion.  Especially since I just recommended them here in this thread.  They are Date-Check and Preferred411

someone thinks enough of meeting me to plan in advance. Life isn't that busy that I can't find time to verify someone for a future date.

After that.......perhaps a little flirty note  from time to time until we meet to keep the interest burning? I recognize that doesn't appeal to some but I love to write and to build relationships. Even no strings ones.

In advance...... saves time and the hassle of last minute opportunities that might otherwise slip away due to time  factor ......just by posting here and getting to know you men  helps me  because I already feel we have a special connection and I can see your other reviews so it mostly is a no-brainier .....prescreening  is great the only worry is sometimes guys  just want to talk and have a friend and have no plans of meeting... that can become time consuming as you try to figure out what is really going on by the time you do 50 calls later and no date has been booked  you know  whats up LOL  but  a quick call or e-mail letting me know its a potential  presreening is wonderful to have .....BTW everything worked out today someone took that time and it was a great guy  I guess everything  happens for a reason
