About a week before I went to Belfast I put an ad up. By the time I arrived I had sussed out most of the time wasters and already blocked them. Think this would be a good tactic for newbies when they start off.

Only been doing this three months and I haven't blocked anyone just because I want to see them so I know who to avoid, if that makes sense? I just blank their calls instead.

Not sure if I'm doing the right thing or not but that's my current position on blocking.

Anyone else feel the same?

Yes I did this when I started. However there have been a few guys who have repeatedly called me over and over so I block them as otherwise they'll be preventing genuine callers getting through.

I go through periods where I block texts from idiots "u workin" "postcode" and the like and then others where I just ignore those texts.

NO NEVER! Im just a hard faced bitch haha but OP days like that happen somtimes even worse... like u book the wrong dates for the hotel..argue with staff and then like a tw*t realise its your fault! But u have to chin up and carry on.. once you get into the flow of things you will realise these things are just minor..and u will have days where you have easy nice clients and you make so much money that you will think WOW i love this job.

P.s i would have rang the hotel manager and given him an ear full for allowing someone with a card to enter the room. That is bang out of order.. i once stayed in a hotel where staff routinely knocked on the doors every couple of hours to see if my stay was 'okay' and if there was anything i needed. I rang the manager and word for word said 'can your fucking staff stop disturbing me as ive come here to relax, not to be constantlyl harrased by hotel staff and if i bloody need anything i will ask for it'!!! They stopped knocking after that

I did this once, booked for the week previous by mistake, paid for an additional 3 days when I arrived and the staff told meif my mistake, then took extremely unwell and couldn't work at all. One of the largest losses I have made in the space of one week

FIRSTLY... I want to say thank you for all your replies!
Honestly I thought I would receive a large handful of negative replies, but I really appreciate both the positive and negative.
I knew a major thing people would say is .. 'Are you sure this is for you'.

I feel a lot better after reading everyones comments. I will not give up just yet and I will see how the next client goes! And if that goes 'tits up' I know that escorting is not for me just yet!

Bless. I think some people here have forgotten what it was like being new (and have never worked in Birmingham).

If I'd just arrived at a hotel in one of the places on the Timewaster Central circuit to have some random walk into my room when I was barely dressed, and then had the bloody manager at the door interrogating me about my personal details in front of a punter I think I would have packed up and gone home, or at the very least sacked it for the rest of the day. And I'm far from new

I'm late to the party but it sounds like a baptism of fire to say the least, and I very much doubt it'll be that bad again. As for crying in front of a punter we have threads here where people have bled, vomited and pooped on them at one time or another - yours ought to think himself lucky

and also, it would be worth some of the other posters here bearing in mind that not everybody who goes into sex work has much of a choice. many of us 'chose' it because it was the last option. and without knowing the OP's situation, it's very unhelpful to say 'this job isn't for you' when it could be her only option right now. We all have to keep the roof over our heads and whilst in a perfect world we'd all enjoy our jobs, that just isn't the case. i often find it difficult, frustrating, gross, frightening and i chose it because it was this, or destitution/homelessness. There are things i like about it - the money, being my own boss, a VERY small handful of my clients - But it's my only option right now, so I make the best of it. Imagine if the OP was in a situation like that and she came here to be told that she shouldn't be doing it at all?

OP, well done for getting through what sounds like a nightmare first day!

This!

I agree was in similar situation. It was this or be homeless.. when i first started i used to feel physically sick after each booking thinking wtfff am i doing but had no oprion.

Over time i learned to switch off this part of my life when im at home. Op its tough for most of us in the beggining but you will adjust to it.

Now i go on holiday every few months about to purchase my second home, have nice clothes and lots more, so dont let it put u off x

Yes all those things can happen from time to time and we may or may not deal with them, but for all that to happen in the beginning is a nightmare. It’s a wonder you didn’t just pack it in then and there. It shows what strength you have and that perhaps you are perfect for the job.

I had a bad client earlier this year, it was horrendous. But after I got through it and had a little cry I thought, great my next client fun filled Bob he’ll cheer me up. But as soon as he walked through the door I burst out crying again, mortifying. He was very understanding and yes he did cheer me up after that. I couldn’t apologise enough though.

I remember doing this infront of a few clients towards the end of escorting. It was a gradual build up process. Some reminded me what I was missing. Because escorting in my opinion is far from the truth.

Escorting I think is full of much disrespect, look at timewasters and rude ones over the phone. Not forgetting about the ones who slip through the net.

Some escorting suits, others not. Escorting can make us feel forfilled then eat away at our soul bit by bit. The strong ones seem to be immune.

There are other options if not happy.

I was there.

Now I am thriving with my love who knew about escorting. He wasn't a client though. I kept to my wishes.

Two concepts ''Living in Sain''or 'Insanity''.

A large proportion of clients will not all of a sudden be kind unfortunetly. Never in the escort world.

To me it is like looking to buy a loaf of bread in a hardware store.

I do wish other escorts well.

Xx.

Hi Hun,

Tbh it does sound like you has a stressyday ...and actually that would have stressed me out !

I cried on my first booking ...it’s a new experience...the build up to it alone can be overwhelming and your first day didn’t go as smoothly as you would have liked lol. Some days are like this but others are great days ... rough with the smooth

but that was 17 years and I love my love my life style and I’m glad I stayed in the game . Don’t get me wrong I have had and do get burn out but Iv learned to read my self and run my bookings the way tht I can mentally cope with.

Warm wishes Hun. X

This is a tough job.

I have a very emotional home and personal life and I’ve broken down on a client however it happens to be a long term regular I’ve been away with and I’m still in the 1st year.

Tips:

Always always always check to see if a hotels workable
Time wasters all happen, deposits help.
Don’t set up straight away, put things in draws until work (I’ve had house keeping let themselves in)
Make friends in the industry it’s a long ass job, draining and highly isolating.

Message me if you need anything! Xxx

Bless your heart. I cried a lot as a newbie too. Not infront of clients but privately.

Purplestar1 · « **Reply #29 on:** 29 November 2018, 03:16:47 pm »

I have yet to have my first booking, really hope I don't cry. Read a few old threads from here about first bookings so hoping mine will be ok.

Sending hugs xx
