I am fairly new to this. I am going for a second round with a couple providers but I am noticing many are really slow getting back to me. Is this normal? (I could hear the jokes I just set myself up for)

Most were slow getting back on my origional contact as well. Can I ask the girls on this site,,, do you get that many emails that its hard to get back quickly?

I would imagin that would be the case but want to hear what you ladies think. The guys too!

Thanks!

Not trying to be persnickety, but perhaps defining "really slow," "quickly," and clearing up how "a couple providers," changes to "many," will help you get the specific information you are seeking.

Considering the amount of gentlemen in need of a bit of companionship in our fine city of Chicago, it does get a bit difficult for a lady to 'get back' to an email that was sent to them say, that morning?
we do our email in the morning, then set out on our days appointments. We do have lives other than on our backs too, and we also have families we need to take care of.
We are not manning the computer all day long, and sometimes it may take 24-48 hours for us to get back to you.
THAT is why we ask you to pre-book appointments ahead of time.

I ask for pre books for the fact I am not always on my computer and having a 17mo old child can result in slow returned e-mails.  Some of us also travel and have other jobs so it can take anywhere from 24-72hrs to get back to you and even then it may just be something simple for the time being.  I don't think you are purposely being ignored by these ladies, but you also need to understand we do have things to do in our daily lives besides hover over a computer.

I hope this didn't sound rude as that was not my intention.  Just trying to help you understand why you aren't getting an immediate response.

Well, I know its kind of weird, but sometimes we do odd things like take a few days off. You know, spend time with family, or maybe kick back and relax while Mother Nature abuses us, or just go out of town for a few days. When that happens, the weirdest thing happens. We don't read our e-mails, and thus, responses are sometimes delayed.

Cut us some slack hon, we ARE human and we do have lives

A day? A week? A month? Escorting is not a nine to five job and the ladies don't keep office hours. If the gal's sat by their computers all day they would not have time to see clients.

Also, many escorts, when they are not working, tend to not check their escort emails or even voice mails. I have been told by more than one lady that this is a necessary tactic for remaining sane. Remember that escorting is not an occupation that can be shared with most family or friends.

It sure helped me!

make sure you supply enough info to merit a response.

Newguy - I can definitely relate to your perspective. I work in a pretty fast paced environment so I don't expect e-mail to take 48 hrs to be responded to.

But I've had to learn that this world operates by a different pace - for even the most professional and highly communicative providers. Previous responses have already made the point, but if you chat with a provider and learn about all the things she has going on in her life you will understand. I was recently with one who was holding down two jobs as well as the providing plus was responsible for two teenage kids. So when is she supposed to return her e-mails? We expect these women to be wonderful – and they are. We also need to be respectful that many are juggling extremely complex lives. 48-72 hr response does not seem out of the ordinary. Even if it's hard, it's a little different from the dynamic in other service environments.

I'd like to say I respond quickly, but I don't always do that. Sometimes, I'm in school (where there's no way I can check my email and be discreet,) or sitting at dinner with Mom or out having fun. When I'm home and online, I'll check out my email.

The point is that we all have outside lives and aren't always readily available, unfortunately. That's just the way things go. Maybe if we all hired assistants to run our businesses for us, we might be readily available 24 x7, but let's face it, it'll be a cold day in hell before I go that route and I assume the same is true for many others.

Just be patient, send a polite email and a reminder email if you think it's been too long.
