I consider a regular someone I have met at least 3 or more times and someone who I am very friendly with and will usually always call me when they can arrange a meeting.

Following up the topic below, what do you consider a regular?  Once a week, month, every couple of months?

I would say any you you see 1/100 as offten as miss. Michigan.

For me... every week or bi-weekly.  If I see someone 3 times in two monthes and have seen them for many years I would still consider them regulars.  

Anyone I see 4-6 times per year is not considered a regular for me.  

I also view clients that I have seen over 5-8 years but not that frequently "long time clients" but not "regulars"

Some clients will see me 2 or 3 times a week and then take a week or two break.

Any client who likes me so much they see me every day for two weeks... well they are just special lol.  I have a client that met me 9 monthes ago and saw me every single day for 15days!  I only see him now every 2 weeks.  I helped him through a rough time for him after his dad died and we still talk alot on the phone to check up on each other.  I very recently went to visit him for eight days in Florida since he is a snowbird.  Combo of vacation with benefits.

I think it is sweet when a client moves out of state and when they come into town again gives me a call to see me.  

So I guess an add on question to this would be...

Guys or girls... what is the longest string of consecutive days you have seen the same provider or client?

I knew he's a multifaceted individual.

All kidding aside, let's hear MDK....

I'd also say the percentage of regulars versus "infrequent" or new clients for me is about 80/20 and the regulars do get more time with me and come first.  

In any given  month I may only see 3-5 new people as I have been around 8 years and have always aimed for regulars.  I just do not have the time.  That is mainly why I do not have a site circulating on here.  It really is not fair to put one out there and have to pass on 80-90% of requests.  

The benefits of having regulars ... trust, continual business, knowing each other (likes/dislikes)(comfort level), and I can be as selective as I want to be on any new people I see.

Three.  Most times in one week...five.

One other item: I would guess that ladies who tour would consider as regulars guys that see them on most or all of their trips to a particular city, even if the lady only travels there a few times a year.  It probably helps if that client visits the lady in her home city on occasion as well...

Gentleman (or in some cases  m/f couple) who sees me 3 - 4 times a month if he lives in NYC area.

If the person lives in another town, then he could be regular even if he sees me once 3 - 4 months.

It really depends on the level of connection between myself and the person.

Of course, I have a couple of somebodies in mind, but they are a plane ride away from me. I don't play close to home very often, and even then, it's a minimum of a two hour drive, so I'm content to play when I'm travelling. I just wish I could travel a little more. So, seeing a lady a couple of times a year is about as regular as I'm apt to get. I did see the same lady two evenings in a row, and three times in a month.

as a regular.  As a couple ladies have said, there regulars get date priority, and special treatment.  In two cases, I've always had a very easy time getting the date times that worked best for me, but the quality time seemed to have less quality as time passed.  Maybe I saw them too frequently (usually every 2-3 weeks).  Now it's once a month, maybe 6 weeks, and seems to be much better.  Maybe it's just the lady this time.  But it did get confusing, as I wondered why certain ladies seemed to almost tire of seeing a regular.  I would think knowing the person, knowing you're safe, and knowing this person obviously enjoys spending time with you would be a huge plus.  Doesn't always seem to work that way. :-(

that sometimes, an LTR benefits from backing off on the frequency.

I guess it's only human nature, that when we get really *comfortable* with one another (which is in itself a good thing), we also begin to take one another for granted a bit.

It does not take very much of this to cause a noticeable shift in a client provider relationship.

But this does not *always* have to happen.

Also - keep in mind that it is a business. In most any business, the "easy" customer gets the least attention. They are already sold, put down in the book. Its the customer who is new or very irregular who often becomes the focus.

If you are sensing that the edge isn't there anymore but you really enjoy the lady, the proper course of action is to back off on the frequency.

"absence makes the heart grow fonder" is another old saying....

I hate the word regular myself and prefer friend.
the hobby sure has changed things in my eyes. Up until 2 years ago I was a babe in the woods doing things the way I did them for years. Now reviews and forums with so much variety have changed my view of some things I just did all the time.

First off I never had a time frame for a meeting. I would have never said an hour but once on the computer gentlemen started taking for granted that extra cup of coffee I might have available and owed them and would do 2 hours and not tip. Now I have an hour rate

I have a few friends I see every week and I don't watch the clock ever. Then there are those that come once a month or every few weeks who you are on a friendly basis fairly quickly. I also have gentlemen I have know for over 17 years here in Orlando who come for conventions and meetings. We too are friends even if it is once a year since I know their name, remember personal things about them as they do me. Some of these friends now spend extra time doing special things with me when they come to town.

Actually I can't tell you how many gentlemen tried to get me on TER from early on but I thought it was too impersonal. Now it's a sign of the times and it is safer for all of us.
