Hi there!  This one is for all of the lovely ladies who consistantly provide us with their services...

When a gentleman arrives at your door, would you please consider turning the cellphone to silent ring or off? Nothing breaks the mood more than the sometimes constant ringing as other gentlemen want to make appropriate arrangements to meet with you.  Even worse is for you to check to see who's calling. And let's not even talk about those instances where you actually break the action to answer!

I completely understand that the phone is your lifeline. But please... when I am with you I'd rather not have us interrupted by anyone else. You can turn the phone back on once we are done and I am fully dressed heading for your door.

Sorry for the rant, just had to get it off my chest.

A 9 rating is "Forgot it was a service"...

When the phone rings, much less the lady answers is, that tends to remind me that it is a service, so if you want nice high numbers, put the phone on vibate/silent ring.

this is sometimes a problem even with ladies who are such extremely charming hostesses and see to your comfort in every imaginable way. I was with a lady recently, and at a peak moment, when her cell started blaring some unintelligible ring tone. Now this lady is class all the way, and she had forgotten to mute the phone, not left it that way intentionally. She was so apologetic and embarrassed. And she definitely made it up to me. So, do realize that this is a detail that may be unintentionally overlooked now and again....

Of course, I know that the unintentional lapse can happen, and I can easily overlook that... especially when the lady apologizes :).  But I have seen the other side of the coin, too, where the provider not only answers but gets into an argument with the person on the other end about services and for calling while she is busy with someone else.  That is unforgivable.

The only phone I have on is my personal cell which I do not answer until after appointments. Normally both my phones are set to vibrate or silent so when we're done I can check for messages. Etc.

One other thing...while I know it does not happen often please turn YOUR phone off unless you absolutely can't. The worst thing imaginable is screwing a guy and having to listen to him make excuses to his wife about where he is.

Now THAT can ruin a mood.

had a "Gentleman" screw me and have to listen to him talk to his wife. Thank goodness my Gentlemen are not like yours.

Oh, it's nice to be single. Ok, married once, 31 years ago, for 2 years. Even though I am a bad, bad man, I don't know if I could enjoy the "hobby" (oh how I detest that term) if I had a lady at home that I had a commitment to....

Had  extended date couple of weeks ago.  Not only his cell phone kept ringing every 10 minutes during entire 4 hours, he answered it, texted back and forth and insisted i listen to his conversation with his SO while he had her on speaker.

Needless to say when he called to book again I was not available.

"while I know it does not happen often please turn YOUR phone off unless you absolutely can't."

Actually, let me suggest to the men that they put their phone on silent.  Most cell providers automatically cut to voice mail if the phone is turned off, and that may invite questions like "Why was your phone off?!"

If it's just on silent, it still rings like you're going to answer it and then you can just say you were in the bathroom or you were driving and didn't hear it or something.

P.S. when are you coming to Seattle?!  Teasing me to no end you are...

Completely ruined the mood, and was well documented in her review. She was one of the ones who answers it.

I pulled a knucklehead move recently and left my cell on inadvertently. I totally planned to turn it off, but simply forgot just before we met. It rang at the most annoying time. There was no way I was going to answer it, though. Although the damage was done, I turned the damned thing off immediately. I filed the experience in the "lessons learned" pile. That won't happen again!

I have to admit that I, as a provider, absolutely agree with SBProwler. If a gentleman is spending some time with the girl of HIS choice, then she should have he courtesy to give him the time and her attention without interruptions. It is not appropriate to make calls, receive calls or chit-chat with somebody on the phone during an appointment. That is disrespectful and annoying. Providers need to take into consideration that they may not be personally available on the phone all the time, and SET UP VOICE MAIL!

Now, don't understand me wrong. I think there a many providers who do have tact and decency, but sometimes you have the bad luck to see those who don't.

Lots of kisses,

making a "scene" in turning mine off while saying something like, "I will not be needing this any more since you are here."
