What makes

[gcursor]

So out of curiosity, what makes models happy on the first "get-together"? Respect? Dining at a good restaurant? A rubber duckie? (although that's probably not until the 5th or 6th time together)...

 

Also I'm curious..how far out should you book times? Six months? 3 months? A week? Typically I like to plan a few months in advance but I'm starting to get the drift that others don't operate the same way.

 

thanks everyone,

Gcursor

Six months? 3 months? A week?

 

6 months is far too early, 3 months is just as long. A week is more sensible, however if its someone you met and expect to take a weekend or multi-day trip together, 3-6 months is reasonable.

For a first encounter, being clean, punctual, friendly, respectful and having the agreed fee is enough to make a good impression. You could splurge on dinner if you’re fairly certain you’ll get on well.

 

A week or two’s notice is plenty for most guys if you’re talking about an hour or two. Many guys aren’t sure where they’ll be months in advance and would probably only be willing to commit that far ahead if they already knew you and you were talking about a full evening or more, or if you had confirmed joint travel plans. A few guys will not even accept advance bookings at all.

Good response

 

Thanks for the responses.

 

Let's say it's a 24 hour period then still book only about a week ahead?

A bit of further advice... if the guy is a popular escort and travels a bit I would recommend checking the guy's website and/or other ads (including travel postings in this forum) for the dates he will be in your area. Generally if the guy is able to post his itinerary several weeks in advance, which usually means that he has committed to hotel reservations, he is usually able to book several weeks in advance as well.

 

Once you have seen them some guys might even give you advance notice as to when he will be in your neck of the woods, therefore giving you a heads up before it being announced to the general public. Also, you might ask a guy to notify you when he will be in your area... some (the most organized) do oblige... for others it becomes too complicated.

 

Personally I prefer to plan as far in advance as possible, but some guys just can't think more than a week to 24 hours ahead of time. I usually save those guys as backup in case other plans never come to fruition... or the perfect choice for any last minute cravings...

a few months in advance but I'm starting to get the drift that others don't operate the same way.

 

Your drift is right. That is like a 45-year-old planning a vacation 12 years in the future.

 

A week or so beforehand to set the time, maybe with a "directional" email a week before that, is the furthest out I have ever seen any working guy really manage.

 

Except maybe, as noted above, extended travel engagements.

 

With, by the way, trust that the far-off thing will not be broken off by the client.

[JoeyBryant]

but some guys just can't think more than a week to 24 hours ahead of time.

 

Possibly...But it may not always mean we're bad planners. For example, whenever someone is coming into town, they may book 10-15 days in advance and thats understandable. Hell, even I like to plan my trips atleast 10-30 days in advance.

 

Sometimes, it doesn't even have to be that long. On one website in particular, I don't even allow advanced bookings for the same day. I got so sick of people picking times and not going thru with it, in an attempt to hold me up during 'rush hour'. So if they aren't ready when they call or send a message, dont bother.

 

I do find that the designated escort sites work out better for future plannings than the ones where its not a 100% escort site e.g. craigslist

A week or so beforehand to set the time, maybe with a "directional" email a week before that, is the furthest out I have ever seen any working guy really manage.

When a guy is really popular and my available dates are limited I have had to schedule at least a month in advance with certain individuals. Some escorts are busy all the time… and when you hire specialists at times the pickings are not plentiful.

Possibly...But it may not always mean we're bad planners.

Most guys are not bad planners... but unfortunately some guys are indeed not the brightest bulb in the marquee when it comes to scheduling... or just simply prefer to not deal with extensive scheduling. I am not being derogatory to escorts here, but just stating the facts based on experience. Heck... some barbers only do walk-ins... others work by appointment only. If such a guy floats your boat then you deal with him in a manner that works for him… that is make arrangement as close to the event as possible so he won’t “forget”.

 

At any rate, a week seems to be the “norm” as per escort agencies such as Maximum in NYC… but there are exceptions to every rule and if you want to be a plan successfully… you need to know to which escorts those exceptions apply.

i can't believe my situation is that unusual... but i usually have bookings six to eight weeks out from any given date. for example, today is feb 15th and at the moment i have appointments on my calendar up to april 10th. i feel very lucky to have clients who are willing to schedule me so far in advance. one of my best friends hires, and he is always shaking his head at people who book even a few days out - i can just hear him now, saying "how do you possibly know you're going to want to have it, three days from now, at 8pm?"

 

which of course shows that there's all kinds of people who hire - those who want it spontaneously, and those who plan weeks or even months in advance. Gcursor, i would advise you to strive for the advance dates that work within your lifestyle, but just be aware that not every escort wants to take advance appointments, one main reason being the concern of a greater chance that a cancellation may ensue.

 

as for what makes me happy on a first get together: i think the one thing i always appreciate in a session is when the client is communicative. i don't mean necessarily with words - sounds or even physical cues can work, too. at least i have some indication of how he or she is doing. and from there, we can have a great time - which also makes me happy.

 

although weirdly enough i'm always happy when i see those yellow rubber duckies, too.

i can just hear him now, saying "how do you possibly know you're going to want to have it, three days from now, at 8pm?"

 

.

The answer to that for me is very easy. I want it any time I can get it. Since my physical and fiscial health do not allow me the privledge of attracting or contracting lovers willy nilly, I grab for the gusto any time Gus is around.

the problem with advance bookings

 

I generally try to avoid booking an escort far in advance for the simple reason that I can't know far in advance whether I will be in condition to enjoy a meeting with an escort. Several times when I've made advance bookings I've had to cancel them at the last minute (well, not quite, but within a day or two of the scheduled date) due to a bad cold or, in one instance, flu. With traveling escorts it's usually necessary to make an advance booking, but these have been some of my biggest disappointments when the time came and I wasn't up for it. So, with the exception of those travelers, I now only book a day in advance, and have sometimes just contacted somebody whose green light was showing on rentboy.com for a same day meeting.

the problem with advance bookings

 

True, particularly with guy who book weeks in advance. Life often intervenes. Visiting guys with green lights work well.

 

However, I wonder about guys with green lights on constantly. It reminds me of the guys who were always in Rounds. The more often on, usually the worse they are.

How cool is that?

 

Dave..that is very cool that you accept advance bookings. You definitely sound like somebody who cares about the customers.

 

i can't believe my situation is that unusual... but i usually have bookings six to eight weeks out from any given date. for example, today is feb 15th and at the moment i have appointments on my calendar up to april 10th. i feel very lucky to have clients who are willing to schedule me so far in advance. one of my best friends hires, and he is always shaking his head at people who book even a few days out - i can just hear him now, saying "how do you possibly know you're going to want to have it, three days from now, at 8pm?"
