Just got a call from a gentleman who is apparently using Backpage as a dating site.

"I like a girl who'll turn heads, and I can't find that on match.com, I'd love to take you out to lunch. I really don't like people who say, they want this 'on their own turf thing for safety'. I want to meet in public. I don't have references, I won't join some verification site. Just thirty minutes. Oh, I'm not going to pay you." *proceeds to text me 40 times in 20 minutes* "U pick ill meet now" "wuts wrong" "call me" "call me now" "come on nat call me"

That's not how this works. You have no references, you want me to waste time with some random dude, who is kind of a creeper. It's called Girlfriend Experience. Not 'girlfriend'. You also didn't read my site, AT ALL.
I'm incall, I do not offer half-hour sessions, I do not see anyone without a reference or DateCheck ID.

Yes, I love going out with clients. Sushi dates are a favorite. ESTABLISHED regular clients that I'm comfortable with and I know aren't going top toss me in a van and kill and/or rape me.


Lesson: Read FAQ. Don't be a creep. Have references. Don't make demands from someone you don't even know. Don't be a creep!

It's not just bp...it's CV .... CL etc.  Weird guys are everywhere.

do not forget to say that in addition to the sites you've mention above, they can come from Eros and all the other top sites just as well!  Some guys have no clue and don't know how to read a website and some are perfect gentleman.  It's just the way of the world.
Good luck and keep screening!
