My first booking.. and I ended up crying to the client!
« on: 30 September 2018, 09:54:21 pm »
As stated in my previous posts, I just started escorting last week, went live on AW last thursday, and got a lot of messages from men for booking on friday.

My initial 24 hours from the moment I was on AW until my first booking was already stressy.
-I had so many men contacting me, and 95% of these were total time wasters, which was really frustrating.
-Then on Friday morning my AW account gets deactivated for not verifying.
-Then the hotels messed up my booking and whilst I was parading around my room in lingerie and laying out condoms, lube, etc., someone puts a key card in my hotel room - a couple comes walking in and I am startled (the hotel assigned the same room to them)
-Then my first client when I disclose the name of hotel (initially telling him it will be around Birmingham City Centre) which he was absolutely fine with, when I told him the name of the hotel he starts getting anxious telling me he cannot come to Broad Street because he experienced a traumatic incident there with his previous wife
-My client finally plucks the courage to come -as he begins to get comfortable there is a knock on the door - rushing to make sure no one is going to barge in again I open the door. Its the duty manager apologising and asking me to confirm my name for the booking and confirm the name on my debit card (which would be my real name, which I would not want the client to hear!).

After all of that palaver, the first appointment was fine as it could be.

Then my second client came two hours later. He again was super nice and sweet, he actually reminded me exactly of the guy I used to date. One moment I was fine, next moment I started crying. I am SUPER embarrassed looking back at this now, and even reliving it right now whilst typing this out.

I feel it was perhaps an overwhelming day - but has anyone else ever got emotional in front of a client ? :/ - yes its unprofessional I know

Luckily, the guy was so nice and we ended up actually just talking for ages and he didn't even ask for his money back, but I just felt so bad as he was coming to deflower a newbie escort and here he ends up with a crying young woman.  :'(

In the nicest possible way. Are you sure escorting is for you?
The issues you have had are run of the mill issues many of us have, but we say fuck it and move on.
The TW's never go away.
The idiots never go away.
The insults never go away.
Issues with hotels happen. A lot. Including WG's been told to leave.
Punters not wanting to show up to hotels. Happens.

Those are just some of the nicer side of things involved with escorting.

If that's stressing you out, how are you going to deal with the inevitable of the phone doesn't ring for days or hardly rings? I remember when I joined AW the contact was never-ending. But it quickly died down when the novelty wore off about being a newbie. Then there was a 10-day drought before things picked back up to a manageable level. But I still get called a Cunt because I won't give some fucking idiot some free phone sex. Are you really sure you can handle that?

And that's before the depraved fuckers start. The ones you hope are just fantasist and contact you through AW with some sick stuff. I'd rather deal with the phone pests any day of the week than these.

You need to be very thick skinned to work in the business. You might not be ready for it x

This.

Also, this is a HARD game! Yes, the money's good but we need to put up with all of the above and more.

How are you going to deal with aggressive clients during a booking, for example?

I threw a client out last month, without a refund. Could you do that at the moment?

Breaking down in front of clients is not acceptable.

I'm not trying to sound harsh. I'm a full time touring escort and have seen every type of client under the sun. I've also had everything happen in hotels you could possibly imagine from people walking in to being thrown out.

Timewasters and twats are a major part of this job. I block several every day.

I would consider if this type of work is for you.

Full Escort may be too much for you.
Have you considered doing massage with HE.

There are always going to be idiots and some send texts only to freak us out with disgusting suggestions about hardsports etc.

You were lucky he was nice to you the next one could get angry and shout at you.

Hotels can be tricky I have heard many times of others walking in or staff walking in.
Get a door stop under your door or put the chain on if there is one.

I used to be a cheeky B when I first started I used to chase men out of my room all the time I never thought about the hotel staff I think I was a little loopy tbh.

Better days now lol I play much nicer and am careful of the staff.

A thick skin is essential.

Think some of you are being harsh on the OP. With comments like these she really will end up giving up. How about some positive advice?

I did something myself I regret yesterday. I shouted and swore at a client who could not find my place. This would likely not have happened had I not already had a bad couple of days.

I have also broken down in front of a client a few years ago and I wasn’t new. I did insist on him taking his money back though.

What happened to you would have really unsettled me too.

Tomorrow could be a better day for you.

Had you been a few months in to escorting perhaps these events would not have affected you as much.

Have a nice hot bath. Turn your phone off. And try again another day. You know what they say about falling off a horse. Climb back on it.

Were you possibly suffering from PMT by any chance? Rather than it being escorting that’s a problem.

I don’t think the services she offered would have made a difference to what happened in the hotel. X

Agree with LOTM here.
We all get days where we question what the hell we are doing?
 But for me, that happened far more often in my civvy work ( many and varied ) It's just life.

I sometimes have experiences in which I think, had they occured during my first day, there would never have been a second.  You were just unlucky and with experience ( should you decide to continue ) comes an instinct that helps you avoid or sail through such a catalogue of chaos.

 Best of luck whatever you decide  :)

On Saturday I planned to roll in to my work flat at 12. 40 min drive. Fancied chilling with son. Local cafe. Nice latte.

Then somebody booked at 11 and I decided I would go at 11.

Then another guy called and I told him 12. He begged for 10. I dropped my plans and rushed in.

He didn’t show. Then the 11am texted at 1050 to say called in to work.

Quiet for hours And constant no shows then when I double booked they both showed. I then felt guilty. Wanted to cry.

Then yesterday was just as bad.

I ended up losing temper with a stupid man who was not listening to my instructions for directions.

Had that been my first day no way would I have returned.

On my first day as an escort I was lucky. Four lovely clients.

Let’s try and help the OP out here without negative comments. X

This reminds me of when I was a taxi driver. Lots of bad days. On my first day they made a point of giving me all the good jobs. I didn’t have a bad first day so I stayed.

Well that was a baptism of fire alright!

I agree with the comment about civvy jobs getting us in a flap. My civvy jobs had me rushing off to the bog for a right good bawl more than once.

Also crying dosent mean you aren't coping because crying is a coping mechanism, albeit best done in private. You can't change what happened. But you can continue in spite of it.

So be kind to yourself... knock that phone off, chalk it up to experience and consider the possibility that many shit things occurred together so your wiser now and can prepare for round two.

The reasons motivating you towards  this line of work will still be there, no doubt, so It's too soon to give up!

Good luck x

I do think I would have insisted he took half the money back if it happened to me.
But I really feel for you as this job can be incredibly stressful and mentally draining at times. I sometimes have fantastic weeks where all the clients are lovely and respectful and I hit my target easily. But I have just as many weeks where the phone barely rings, clients are all horrible and rude, and I just hate everything about the business. It’s swings and roundabouts and it’s important to make time for self care every day to avoid burn out x

I'm sorry but some of these comments are unbelievably harsh and not exactly supportive, to say the least!!

Just because your first day didn't go to plan, it is absolute rubbish that this suddenly means it's not for you. Everyone has bad points in any job and that doesn't mean that it isn't for them.

I've been doing this 3 years this month, I did my first tour last month and barely slept for 2 days before cause I was so nervous and I was whittling all day on the day too whilst travelling to the hotel. But guess what? It all turned out fine, it was really successful.

Bad days happen.

If my first day had gone like yours had, I would have also been panicking and on edge. It sounds like a lot of things don't go to plan, it didn't go anywhere nearly as smoothly as it could have done and it set you off to a bad start.

Every now and again I get stressed about this job too. It's life. Pick yourself up, keep riding the wave and things will get easier as you go along.

If after a couple of weeks or so, you can't get into it and you're really struggling still, maybe then you should consider whether it is or isn't for you. I think the fact that you came on here to speak about what happened just goes to show that you're fully capable of giving it another go. Don't let people discourage you xxx

Exactly all of that. :)

I agree with some that say you should not give up on just the 1 day as this job is not exactly normal and takes guts to do what we do and takes time to adjust to what you are actually doing being a prostitute it took me ages to accept i was doing this type of thing but what i would say give yourself a week and then see how you feel? It might not be for you but giving it a few attempts will give it a fair ran.

But do be prepared for a up and down ride some coulds go well and earn well others will eventually be days where tossers are on the phone and fake deliberate bookings.

Even now i have days when i feel good and then have a bad lot of pisstakers or a look n go especially one talking pervy even trying to grope then i want to lose it either punch them or quit.

Wholeheartedly agree with the positive comments on here and numerous examples of bad days. This job is like any other; good days and bad days. Sometimes it rolls into good weeks and bad weeks.

You cried because you dealt with an overwhelming amount of unfortunate things happen on your first day. I was lucky, my first day was brilliant. But I did deal with a lot of what you dealt with in regards to TWs, I still do now but I don't even notice it anymore and it certainly doesn't affect me in the way that it did.

You will get used to these aspects, or you'd better had if you want to stick with this job because they will never go away. Things happen in hotels all the time; I once had my room assigned to 3 other sets of guests during a stay; I nearly caused the old dear a heart attack when she walked in to see me pegging a guy!

Pick yourself back up, become fairly strict in who you will and won't see and you will find things to a little smoother.
