@NyGoldI've been hiring masseurs for more than half my life now. (I just turned 50.) Mostly in NYC and Los Angeles, where I have often seen providers, and have been seen, out and about. I do not think you did anything wrong. IMO, discretion should be the general rule, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. As @poolboy48220above posted, perhaps a nod or a small smile of acknowledgement would have been ideal. But after your follow up text apology and explanation....the provider blocking you says more about him than it does you.
