Would it be terribly awkward?

[Reluctant Daddy]

Would it be terribly awkward if a prospective client reached out to you to exchange contact info for possible future hiring? Given the uncertainty of the future existence and availability of sites, it may be the only opportunity to establish contact. I haven’t been at this long enough to establish a base of regulars, and there are several guys, both here and on RM that have sparked my interest. Most are out of my area, but I thought it would be a good idea in case they wander my way, or I wander their way.

That is my intent. I’m already awkward so it won’t make allot of difference.

I've had people do that before and I don't find it awkward at all. However I also don't save anyone as a contact until I've had a first meet with them, and I clear out text messages with numbers I don't have saved pretty regularly. So I guess my only advice really is don't be upset if, when you do contact them in the future, they don't know who you are because they don't have you as a contact, or they don't have the message history anymore.. and be prepared for that. However if a potential client reached from far away were to reach out to me to chat a bit and also ask me to let them know if I'm ever in their area, I'd probably save them as a contact and make a note of it.

Personally I only do it to stay organized; I don't do it to be rude at all, and I have no issue with answering questions/talking to someone a few times before they decide to schedule something with me.

 

Then again it might help that I'm generally good with awkward people, especially since I can be a bit myself sometimes. In fact I'm probably overall much less awkward and more comfortable around people that are a tad awkward, assuming that awkwardness isn't the sketchy, hiding-something type. So I might be a little biased here lol.

It is not awkward, but please try to book in advance, if you don't, don't be surprised or upset when you finally do try to schedule something that said escort is already booked or unavailable.

It becomes awkward and uncomfortable when a prospective client becomes upset when this happens after they saved your number for future reference. It makes us feel guilty and helpless because we can't control who booked when and how long before you contacted us.

I read rather less into the question than you apparently have. I took the question to be limited to whether it would be awkward for an escort if someone asked for their contact details as insurance against the possible disappearance of escort ad sites. I didn't think the question implied an expectation that having those details would be a short-cut to hiring in the future. Rather, I expected that the questioner expected to exercise the normal courtesy of giving reasonable notice when they attempt to book an appointment.

 

I'm grateful to any escort who says that the preemptive exchange of contact details is not awkward, and also to those who have posted their details here as insurance of their own. I don't see that doing so gives me any right to contact people at random other than when I actually want to book time.

You would be surprised at the number of inquires I get asking if I am still in town in cities I haven't visited in almost a year. The possibility of this happening and it actually happening is what can lead to an escort feeling awkward about someone asking to save your number, because we will feel apprehensive that you will waste our time when you do contact us.

What I say is not indicative of you, or anyone specifically. It's more like a preemptive PSA.

Because there are some bad apples in every bunch.

[mike carey]

It's more like a preemptive PSA.

Thanks, that's what I thought. As long as there are advertising sites, people will be able to check where you are from there (whether they do so or not is a separate question), if they were to vanish or become less accessible they (and you) would have to rely more on direct contact to ask. It's still hypothetical, but in the current situation it's timely to explore options.

I am not an escort, and I only recently over the past couple years have been meeting gentlmen through RM and i can say that each and everyone of them started with an email outreach for a "future" date to potentially meet up and then progressed to text messages but in all cases the "outreach" was well in advance of when i specifically could meet but i make sure to make that clear at the initial time that i am reaching out. For example i ask if they travel often to the City i live in because i could be interested in meeting up with them potentially.

 

I also am very, very specific for the type of person I'm most interested in so i have to cast a wide net across the country in terms of researching potential fit's that are mutual gratifying. "My regulars" all live hundreds to thousands of miles away so we plan meetings sometimes several months in advance when they know and plan to travel to my city.

 

But again to answer your question, all of those relationships started with me reaching out to establish preliminary contact and none really had a problem engaging even when i made it clear i was seeing if we were good fits first and that i was planning for some time in the future. Some might ask to meet up quickly and i tell them if they feel it is too early to chat that i will buddy list them and be on the look out if they ever list my city but typically that is rare that the escort won't at least begin the conversation about whether we're good matches or not. Hope this helps ya a bit.

I'm saving a ten-year supply of good-looking US guys as contacts just in case.

 

After 2 years I'll start asking for current pics. After 5 years half will probably be fat and married with 2 kids.

In light of the uncertainty that new legislation is causing I am going through my RM favorites and compiling a list of contact numbers for guys I’m interested in. I’m lucky to have established a fairly substantial list of “regulars” over the years which I’m hopeful will allow me to continue seeing guys I like. However there are lots of guys on my bucket list I’d like to meet. Jotting down their contact information while available is like insurance to me.

 

Will I contact them ahead of time and indicate what I’m doing and why? I’m not sure yet. Life will go on in a worst case scenario, i.e., escort sites are shut down. I am fairly certain of one thing though...someone will come up with a different mousetrap that accomplishes the same thing as RM or RB. It will be in a different format or different medium. Prostitution has survived for thousands of years. It’s not going away.

I, too, am compiling a list of contacts in the event that our usual sources are no longer available. I hope I don't have to use it, but best to be prepared. Of course my regulars and I are solid.
