ok i am confused.  They ask what I do for work and I usually answer them... after that I don't here from the females that asked me what I do for work!

Is this normal? I am not really new to this and I usually don't get the question "what do you do for work" but a couple of them this week so far have!

I am very fustrated because I've wanted to meet these people and I feel like I have answered them wrongly.

Has anyone else experienced this??

If the response seems to be a problem, I have to wonder what you're saying.  The following careers may inhibit your ability to see some of the ladies.

Police Chief
FBI Agent
IRS Agent
Trash Collector
Janitor

I think you get the idea.

lol definitely get the idea. but i am none of the above. i am in sales. some of the providers want to even know WHERE I work... which i refuse to say. (we need some privacy also!)

you were from NY or SC?

They are screening you.  If you refuse to answer a question or don't answer it in a way that satisfies their screening policies then they are not going to see you.

i always ask.  really, i am just making conversation, getting to know my clients.  usually after they tell me what they do, i'll ask some more questions about it.  then if i see them again, i can ask how work is going, did you have a hard day at the office, etc.  i ask other questions too, but that seems to be the first.  no one has ever been offended by it, most clients love to talk to me about their lives, and i am truly interested.  the better i know you, the easier it is for me to please you.  that's how i look at it.  and i think my personality makes it easy for people to tell me things, cause i'm super laid back and just easy to talk to.  but if you are really uncomfortable disclosing your profession, just say that.  or change the subject.  i think she'll get the hint.  

Some provider and/or agencies will ask you for a provider reference, i.e. who have you seen in the past.  

The rationale, despite its flaws, is for them to verify you are not LE or some that has violent tendencies.    

Some have this detailed personal reference form that is very comprehensive -- and, asks you for your birthday, work place address, work number, work email address, etc.  This is where you need to be careful for a number of reasons.

First and foremost discretion goes both ways.  In this instance, id the provider/agency is not willing to share more information about themselves pass.  

Secondly, all email correspondence is stored on mail servers and despite you or the agency destroying the email; it still resides on the mail server until the ISP does a sweep.  This could be anywhere from 3-6 months.

Besides, meta data associated with email exchanges can easily help LE to reconstruct the dialogue.  And, not only that pinpoints both your exact location!

Some agencies maintain profiles about clients.  Make sure you ask them whether or not they do. And, if they do what is maintained.  
In the event of a bust, you want to maintain your annoymity.  

Thirdly, ensure whatever information you offer up doesn't incriminate you in anyway.

Best way to schedule an appointment is by phone.  Be brief and direct.  

Hope this helps!
