texting

I prefer email initially, then phone. I don't like text messages, except for something simple like an address. I really don't like sending texts.

Not always available to take calls and speak freely.

Email to start with and up until the drive over.  Then switch to phone.  I wouldn't mind a little phone conversation before that, but my experience tells me most ladies would rather not as they have better things to do with their time.

I have been around for a while and have posted reviews and am whitelisted and on P411.
I have noticed that when women have an email and a phone, they are MUCH less likely to answer a discrete email inquiry (even when it includes verifying information).
Many women seem to prefer to screen by the sound of a voice and then proceed to email.
Am I right about this?  
If so, this might be something to put in the public section of reviews or even on the profile.

Telepathy - when it works, is always nice.

I live over 2 hours from the cities.  My hobbying is done almost exclusively on the spur of the moment, so a phone number is almost essential.  I just don't seem to be able to plan ahead for my rendezvous.

I often do some booking from work and I can't use the phone. I can't tell you how many ladies I have passed over because they don't have an email address listed

But phone if upcoming plans are complex and require some discussion.

for safety reasons.

initial contact through e-mail seems to work the best.  Followed by texts (especially sexy texts) and phone call if needed.  I will say I have been disappointed many times by providers not answering their phone when they tell you to "call when you get here", then you leave a message and impatiently wait in the parking lot while people walk by wondering why you're sitting there...maybe a pet peeve  

because it doesnt always happen

First, I see if the provider prefers a certain way of communicating and go with that, barring carrier pigeons.  If I can't tell I will email AND call to leave a message.  The first thing though is if she has a web site and an appointment form I will fill that out along with references, TER or 411.

Then phone or text the day of to confirm and finalize any last minute details, such as exact location.

Definitely e-mail!! Then exchange phone numbers for last minute contact...just in case.
