Share too much personal information and/or become needy/clingy leading up to the booking.
Had a client message in September asking for an appointment in October. Told him to book and leave contact details and once he had I would provide my own. He sent a spiel about his marriage and how when his wife's carer confirmed she was available he would book etcetc. Didn't hear anything further from him until mid October (past the inital date he asked for.) This time he apologised for not being in touch and followed with an essay about why, how his wife had been in his hospital and could he book for november now.
Again told him to book and provide contact details and I would provide mine. He did so, and it was confirmed he would contact me on the day of the booking when he set off. Logged in to AW a few days later to find an email saying things like he hopes I will be a good girl for him, October has been too long, not long to go, hopes I have my toys out etcetc...Everything had already been covered that needed to be, so I didn't answer it.
Logged in this morning to find two emails, the first saying I hadn't accepted his booking request is there a problem (He had already mentioned this prior and I had told him that I do not confirm meets until they have taken place.) the second saying as he had not heard from me he is worried he will be let down, he needs a response to his booking request or from tomorrow he would look elsewhere. The booking wasn't until the 8th next week.
My reply:
Hi xxx,
A rating for a booking isn't accessable until it is confirmed and I do not confirm a meet has took place until it has taken place, only schedule it as I mentioned earlier. I also can not access adultwork daily as is mentioned on my profile hence only replying just now.
Given the date of your last message I assume you have since looked elsewhere for a booking.
Best wishes.

Think I had a lucky escape there, I can't be doing with clingy clients and his obsession with being able to leave a positive or negative rating didn't sit well with me. Now I'm just waiting for the negative feedback only I'm sure will come my way when he is able to leave it!
