Text me please

[marylander1940]

Well, I read into your tone on the one before like you didn't really want to continue the conversation. So I wanted to leave you an out.

 

Wasn't trying to be rude or anything.

 

no need for you to leave me any "out"...

 

btw, do you realized that our main issue is if a call/text could be asked in an email reply or only after a few emails are exchanged... LOL

[KennF]

I think it is even more laser focused on a simple issue... if it is appropriate for an escort to respond to an initial inquiry with "text me please". LOL

 

We both agree that at some point, it is completely okay for the escort to move the conversation to text.

 

I think of it from my perspective (no duh). And I hate giving out my cell phone #. I also have two email addresses... one for spam and one for real, because I'm forced to give out my email address if I want to do anything online nowadays. But, I'm not going to carry two cell phones. I've been the target of harassment before. I jealously protect my personal information.

 

So, when I go to text someone, or give them my cell phone #, I have to have some level of trust. That's why I ask questions via email first. And, I reasonably expect that the escort will respond with some basic information that I need to feel comfortable.

 

The last thing I need is some flake texting me in the middle of the night and me thinking it is my parents being rushed to the hospital. Those same flakes are on BOTH sides of the equation (client and provider).

I don't think responding "text me please" to an email is rude. We addressed before the generational gap. He is responding in the written formal he knows.

We disagree on this as discussed in the previous exchange of emails.

Yes.

Get a googlevoice... I have one and some a few escorts wouldn't make plans with me because of that.

 

How do they find out?

I have 3 emails for 3 different aspects of my life: family and friends, work (even though I'm retired), and escorts/hookups.

makes sense to me.

My phone (and its 2 numbers) is off when I go to sleep. I'm not into endless texting and I require a 2 mins call to get a feeling. Why would a "flake" be texting you in the middle of the night? You're more likely to be bothered by someone from work who has nothing else to do but texting you or whoever is on his phone to kill time. May I suggest them engaging in talking with folks around them?

 

I'm sorry to hear bout your parents, I lived what you are going through with your parents long time ago too and I know how stressing that is.

 

I've been called names on here because of requiring a 2 mins call to get a feeling. Where are those voices now? Huh?

[Mount N Do]

If you really want to meet an escort you text him or call him, you don't just privately and anonymously email him.

 

The fact that a simple request for a text message that will show commitment it's such a petition that the OP gets turned off and gives up contacting again the escort tells you the flakyness they deal with on a daily basis.

Don't completely agree. I typically hash out the details via email. I will text after I feel comfortable with the escort and actually set up a meeting. I prefer not to give out my number during initial contact. My experience is that I have gotten unsolicited/unwanted calls/texts which could put me in a compromising position. Such as an explanation.

A phone number shows in a way the client is more serious in meeting up. Plus texting is a faster way of communication than emailing. I don't know many escorts who would meet a client that you only have their email... I did when I was in my teens and the stood up rate was way higher than guys who showed up. I would meet someone with just an email if I was already in their area when they contacted me or they live near my home.

 

Its funny though, their have been many guys who emailed me scheduling to meet "soon" and as soon I said sure whats your cell number and address they never wrote back lol:rolleyes:

Exactly!

You can't apply everyone's situation to your own. For me, discretion is paramount. I need a certain level of trust to maintain that discretion. I recently had this young kid from Detroit find my profile. I entertained him for a while cause he was cute. In the end he wanted me to fly him to Miami, first class, put him up in a hotel for a week, pay him 3k and pay for all his meals and drinks. I laughed of course and blew him off. Imagine that he was advertising and I contacted him and he asked me to text him. That kid hasn't stopped pestering me. I wouldn't trust him with my personal email, which is as anonymous as it gets, much less my phone number.

I know... but put yourself in an escort's place.

 

The kid was delusional. As a client I've never had such a kind of talk with an escort but I've heard SO many stories about escorts being promised everything he wanted you to do and after weeks of emails the would-be-client simply stops emailing the escort.

 

Gentlemen:

 

It's obvious that some of yinz like the OP would be offended and cut off communication with an escort if he dares to reply to your first email with a simple: text me/call me... others would accept such a proposal (text me) after exchanging a few emails, some of us would even text/call an escort about meeting today, tomorrow, next week, etc.

 

I'm out of this subject, we have better thing to talk about on here.

That's not at all how I perceived the discussion in this thread.

[+ oldNbusted]

I've settled on sending a description of myself and my preferences in my first email and ask if he thinks we would be a good fit and if so, I'd like if we could arrange a short call. So getting a "text me" reply would be a completely natural reply, I wouldn't be put off by it.

[MiamiLooker]

Yeah, I read this in your previous post.

you haven't told us yet how do you properly approach by email guys on BackPage...

 

I'm all ears:

[KennF]

I find it interesting that there are several people who agree with setting up some basic exchange of info via email and shifting over to text afterwards. And yet, there are those that find an immediate shift to text with such a short response as completely amicable.

 

I don't disagree that escorts, like other professionals, have to deal with 'flakes' and 'time wasters'.

 

I go back to a simple thought process, however. It isn't the client's responsibility to close the deal. If a service provider doesn't want the clientele, then they leave the door open for competition to take potential clients.

 

I get your perspective... the provider has to deal with lots of emails, and doesn't want it. And if his ad reads "text only" or "call only", then he's choosing to ignore emails. I get that. Everyone has their own business models. I won't bother with an ad that says "text" or "call" only, because asking them to change their business model is unfair of me.

 

However, my feelings won't change... it is and should be a customer-focused profession. A customer is still a customer. And the industry is still a luxury industry.

*chuckle* Not a great analogy, but cute comment.

[MartyB]

If the escort has implicitly stated that he will not respond to emails then I will text. A few escorts have called me after texting them and there have been occasions where I can't answer because I'm at work or in a meeting etc. I don't need to speak to the escort but there have been times where time is misconstrued or misunderstood. I don't take offense as to the means of communication I follow the lead or preference of the escort the first meeting.

Do you think those clients that prefer email as the initial communication mode are “offended” by an escort’s request for text or phone call only?

I think it sets a tone of rigidity on the part of the escort. As an initial start not a good one for me.

[+ VictorPowers]

I will jump through the hoops and use RM email or my personal email. I prefer texting as I can respond quicker. Also, RM email doesn't notify me if a new message.

[+ freecahill1965]

i will occasionally email a potential hire aski a few questions and then I will just get back a response "text me please." I don't understand that. Obviously they're getting the email and they're answering it, so they can respond to email. Is there something I'm missing? Because 9 times out of 10 that response turns me off.

 

Most can provide faster and better respondes by text than by email. Most "younger" folks use text as main communication. I would not be offended in anyway. Just like many use Twitter now instead of Facebook. I use Facebook and my kids tell me to get with the times. Twitter, snat chat.....lol

[MikeSinz]

Emails okay texting is okay calling is okay. But when it comes to me giving out my home address I will not put it over a message board. But a lot of times as myself, I advertise on many websites. It can sometimes be consuming to go from one website to the next, and then to email, and then the text, and handling a phone call at the same time, it can be very overwhelming sometimes. Most of my ads say call or text for faster results. Sometimes there are delays in messaging on the boards and texting just seems whole lot faster for me. But whatever mode seems to work for anybody will work for me. I'm just not into all the endless talking an endless chats.

I much prefer texting over email. I can certainly understand someone not wanting to communicate by email. I always have my phone with me and can respond almost immediately, whereas my email is only checked a few times a day. Most people are looking for a prompt response to a potential hire...text just seems the most efficient way to communicate. Not sure why it would bother you...
