Here’s the context.
My guy is a well known actor and well reviewed RM. He travels almost constantly, a new city every week, mostly major markets. I have followed his ad and videos for years. He posted on his schedule that he was coming to my city. I pounced on the opportunity and requested a date in a very nice text, no questions, no negotiating. My guy agrees. I know from his profile that he asks for limited texts, so I send one more expressing my excitement for upcoming meeting. No response for days!! Then he texts asking if we can move the date 2 weeks earlier? OK, I am flexible and good with that...still excited, all good. We set a new date and time. Then comes the text requesting the deposit.... Ummmmm? In 10 years of frequent hiring I have not been asked for a deposit to be sent. My response just “Sorry, I don’t pay in advance, hope our plan can still work” ..... then the hostile and rude response from my guy... complete boner killer!!! (It was a 90 minute arranged session).... Hey guys, if you want to be businessmen, cover your own expenses...I will pay your fee and always and tip. Remember......These interactions are supposed to be FUN stuff!!!
