just wondering if there was an etiquette on times to call providers to make an appointment.called three providers this morning around 9 a.m. to try and make appointment for 10.a.m but they all sounded half asleep.checked their websites and /or reviews and none of them gave info on specific times.just a suggestion that maybe they could put times to call on their ads.thanx

But from my experience, 9am, 10am, or anything before noon will eliminate at least 80 percent of the options.  I too work regular hours and can't stay up weeknights till 4am having fun.  On the flip side, there are providers who work and won't answer a call after 10pm, so all you can do is call and see who answers.

I'd say a standard such as 9-10 am or after, and perhaps before 9-10 pm, seems reasonable if not listed, similar to etiquette for calling others. I would assume a provider would put her phone off or silent if she was not taking calls or did not want to be woken.

I am email only but do try to clarify in terms of times when I am able to get back to gents (try to within 24 hours max; though w/ return after a long hiatus, things have been crazy and I have not been able to get through the volume of emails as fast as I would like since I also like to be thorough-- I am up front on my site about that though, on the homepage there is a big "update" clarifying that the rest of this month is chaotic for me and I was overwhelmed by the renewed interest and contact level)

I also state very clearly my hours of availability for dates- generally no earlier than 11 am to meet a gent (since I need 1-2 hours to prepare before, and am not a morning person, though I did have to suck it up and take some morning classes this sem as well lol) as well as not being available later than 7-8 pm most weeknights, a bit later some weekends. I try to give as much info as possible. (Again I am email only for bookings, so this is a bit different but same concept..)

That said, many gents contact w/o reading site or ignore a woman's etiquette or hours posted-- so I highly commend you for wanting to make sure you are calling during her hours, and make it work out best for you both! Kudos for that. And thanks for the feedback- I think it is always helpful as providers to get feedback from hobbyists on what issues they may have and what providers in those relevant demographics could do to improve the experience or ease of booking! Thanks!

In my experience, sometimes you need to get on the case ASAP for visiting providers. I've tried to set up dates before for the first thing the next day when I see a visiting provider is going to be in my city, and been aced out by another fan the next morning who called earlier then me.

Local ladies are easier to set things up with since you are both in the same city, but yeah, sometimes calling to set something up in the am so you can still show up at work can be a problem.

Don't think there is much etiquette to the deal, if they don't want to answer their phones, they won't.

thanks for the info everyone much appreciated
