I am totally independent and do all of my own emails, screenings, bookings and dates
so from what I do when I get an initial email is;
Google, Bing, Y! , Verifyhim.com his email address as well as his phone no and any info he has provided.
If he has provided his provider references then I google and screen his recent providers if they are not a provider that I personally know. I do this before I ever contact the provider he met.
If she is not to my satisfaction then I require alternate screening info; employment or paid lunch date 1st with no physical interaction and two forms of identification including one being employment & check stub.
If his previous providers are legit and to my liking I THEN contact the provider, introduce myself and try to become aquatinted with her in case we ever need to touch base again. This also gives me a good feel for the type of person she is and if my personality would match him as well.
Being this is my business and my brand it is imperative that we not only have a physical chemistry but that we will enjoy each other in a mentally stimulating way as well. Being my dates are not rushed, I like to take my time getting to know you inside and out so that every date after will be better and better for us.
P411 although a great resource and a place I advertise is only a drop in the bucket compared to Whitelisting on TER.
If I Whitelist you, I have taken the time to think about our date, pull up your info, pull up TER and actually copy and paste... Gosh that is a lot of work. ( I am totally kidding) lol But seriously it takes a few extra steps. Also it's a lot easier for me to verify your previous providers based on your whitelists in just a few clicks. I personally prefer TER for beginning my screening.
P411, all I have to do is CLICK "OKAY" and it even reminds me to okay someone that I have searched recently if I met them. Also even though P411 allows me to update the date I last saw you, I notice a lot of providers do not take the time to do this.
I recently screened someone who said he met "ProviderABC123" the week before. I go to his P411 and she last ok'd him over a year ago and I was not able to contact her directly before he left town so he missed out on seeing me until his next trip.
DC is the same as P411 for me.
there is another site predominately listed on my website thats name is not allowed to be published on here that is an excellent screening tool and the boards are pretty nice but verbal about dates, providers, hobbyists and leos.
Hope this helps, I know it is way more than you asked for.. Let's just say I had time to spare while awaiting a date!
HOBBYISTS, ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SCREEN YOUR PROVIDERS AS WELL IF NOT BETTER THAN THEY SCREEN YOU!
Lots of CAROLINA LOVE!
