Don't be flattered, she just wants your money and her persistence would indicate to me that she is broke and desperate.

Unsolicited calls from a provider are NOT the norm and not appreciated by most hobbyists.  Most ladies know better!

and an anonymous email address as well. Email address is free and a hobby phone is affordable.

When you are not in the process of setting an appointment or expecting a call from a provider, leave the phone off and in a secure location.

A lady I saw awhile back called me up this afternoon and asked if I was interested in a session today. I told her I was sorry but I was busy. She persisted by saying she wanted me to understand she was offering "something extra." I told her again that I really was very sorry but I was unavailable today, but perhaps another time. She said, "This is just for today," but again I had to decline (though I was by now extremely intrigued and also horny). I was trying not to be brusque, but I couldn't talk freely at the time because other people were around me.

My question is, is this sort of thing typical? Is that why people say they're careful to have a "hobby phone," so it's not a problem if providers call *you* out of the blue (not in response to a VM you left, when you'd be expecting it)? Luckily I'm the only person who answers my phone, so this wasn't a problem.

I'm trying to determine whether I should be flattered, worried about stalking, or just shrugging this experience off as "normal."

Without knowing how many times you may have seen her, or what the relationship has evolved into, assuming you saw her only once I would find this call disturbing.  I can only assume that she had an urgent cash shortfall and was looking to correct that with you!!  Based on your lack of interest on the first offer and her continued pushing for the session, I would make it crystal clear to her that any future interest will be from your end ONLY!!  And if you do see her again...be careful.

I do not think providers should call (or e-mail) a client unless they are told it's ok to call.   Clients SHOULD use private communications like hobby phone or e-mail addresses, but being discreet is a 2 way street.

LOL, probably right about that, it is the end of the month.

Just to be clear, the lady who called me is not anyone I've reviewed on TER.

If she calls me she must wants to giva freeby. Thats why I hooby and don't have girlfriend because I don't want chicks calling me asking for anything. I can go see a hot chick and I know exactly what she wants and she knows what I want. Once I leave thats it, unless I choose to call her again. Unless you two have a special relationship, she was TOTALY out of line.
