...how responsive I am over email/text correspondence. I appreciate getting to know who I am meeting, as it makes the interaction flow better to me once we do meet.  Makes me wonder if it’s hard to communicate with providers, or if they communicate at all after scheduling/before engagement?  

Some are great at customer service, other suck at it.

I enjoy getting to know a little about my client but also to leave a little mystery for when we meet.  Some of my bookings are done a month in advance, in these cases once the preliminaries are out of the way there is usually not much communication until the date draws near.

Balance is definitely the key. Also, this statement “I enjoy getting to know a little about my client but also to leave a little mystery for when we meet” is spot on!
 
Brief, thorough communication is great but definitely don’t spend TOO much time, as it could spoil the element of surprise and create grounds for TW.

I’ve had it all over the place. Some, the only communication was confirming the appointment initially and maybe the day before. Some, it would be a quick email once or twice to say “looking forward to it” or something similar. A few, we seemed to touch on a shared interest and sometimes that’s led to slightly more interaction. I personally want it to be a natural communication, so I roll with it any way it happens if it’s feels genuine. When I meet someone for a longer period of time I feel as if it’s more fun to hold off on too much discussion until we meet.

...... the day before the appointment, as instructed, I sent a confirmation email. I received a return email a few minutes later with the nearest major cross streets  and a request to call her an hour before for the actual address.

With someone I haven't met yet. I'm not as chatty with a new lady prior to the first meeting. It seems weird to me to get flirty with someone I've never seen face to face. It's impersonal and does nothing to help me prepare for a face to face meeting.  

Nice! Excellent feedback.

Haha! Creative lady! Sounds like a fun time!

... frankly it's more important to me that providers be timely and professional (including being clear) in their correspondence with me.  And I do worry a bit about flirting going too far on an unsecured channel.  I use encrypted email, but few providers seem to do that.  There's some things it's best to not have in emails and texts, knowwhatimean?

try to flirt with someone you haven't met yet.  The more you dialogue before the first appointment, the more there's a chance one of you will inadvertently say something that will put the other one off and ruin the session. Better to keep things minimal before the first meeting IMO.  

I was traveling, arranged an appointment and the girl sent me a cute photo and wanted to chat. I will never forget her, and if I am ever in her area again, I will try to see her. She was hot!

If I flirt… And he flirts back..  Game on!  
 I am a firm believer that “holding hands” via text/private message/ or email until our smiles and bodies connect  is part of the Sexy journey and builds anticipation for Both of us.   Anticipation can be such a sexy word. Wouldn’t you agree?  
After all,  they say that the brain is the largest and strongest sex organ.  It deserves some stroking, attention and  stimulation as well.  💋

So you've never flirted with a woman without meeting her first?  How does that go?  Is it something like, you approach a woman you might like to flirt with and say, "Hi, I'm Mr. DeLion.  What's your name?  I wanted to introduce myself because I'd like to flirt with you, and I never flirt with a woman I haven't met.  Now that we've met, don't be surprised if I start flirting with you.  Bye for now!"

I've actually seen him flirt with girls right here on the boards that I know he has never met, as have I.

I think its pretty clear I was referring to a provider/appointment setting, where they have ALREADY booked an appointment, and then start the flirty texts.  I think its silly because both parties SHOULD know its just done so the guy doesn't forget to show up or to give him pause if he's thinking about cancelling.  Providers will say BS to this reason, but I've seen too many providers do this and talked about it with some that I'm close to, to not know this is the case.  Its like a verbal noose around one of his extremities.  He's not going to bail on a girl that is flirting with him.  I think its silly  FOR ME because I don't cancel once I have booked, and I don't need the handholding from the provider to make sure I don't get cold feet.  The boards are a different matter, because we are spread all over the country, and no one is invested into anyone else.  Yes, I have flirted with ladies here on the boards, but there is no hidden agenda.

But telling him to read something again is a great way to get him to vanish from a thread.

Don't blame me for your own bad choice of words.

Personally, I go either way with flirtation. I try to pick up on what's already being put down. If the client is more chatty, I'll get the impression that they're craving a connection beforehand and take it as a green light to flirt. Sometimes, people contact me saying something like "hello Olivia, I'm interested in an hour-long incall at 2 PM". I'll give them the details and they'll say something like "great, see you then". It's short, sweet, and to the point. I can respect that people have busy lives or may be in situations where they need to be discreet and can't be on the phone flirting. Rest assured,  we'll build up our chemistry in person and the time we have together will be just as intimate as if we had gotten to know each other a bit beforehand.

Perfect! It’s all about the natural flow! Just like w/uber drivers. They usually know when I’m feeling chatty by my thorough/vague communication. Just all depends on how one feels!
