I would tell them before offering an appointment.
House rules / etiquette re. confidentiality/respecting escorts privacy if you like.
Nothing is said or asked might be construed as "all can be said about her online or at local pubs, "other lads" they do discuss each others one of these "latest conquests" at the gym's changing room. . . She said nothing about not discussing her private life, so yeah, I'm free to do that then. . .

These days, I tell/ask them.  If they ignored it, I ask again, telling this is important.
They might not "listen" even if they said they would respect, but at least you requested to provide the same discretion and they agreed.  Some escorts do add some comments on "discretion" clause.  They know, then.

I'm not willing to meet with someone without this since some time!  I kid you not!   

I stupidly told a client about a course I was doing and he turned round and told me another local escort (who I knew of) did that and that’s what she does in her real life job.

I told him he shouldn’t tell other girls that and he got panicky that I would tell her.

Anyway, it just so happens that girl popped up recently on my Instagram and it’s defo her 100%, I wouldn’t of known it was her or twigged if he hadn’t of told me.

I need to try and remind myself sometimes to be careful about what I say but how the hell do you speak to clients without giving things away? Lies don’t come natural to me, I already get nervous diarhea (I can never spell that word) as it is with the lies that comes with this job.

I really wish when I had started I had come up with a bullshit story about my life that I could reel off to everyone, a fake identity I suppose. It would have been so much easier. One idiot wrote about me on a review site and gave away my first name (not real thankfully) and the county I used to live and when I moved to where I am now. Not especially identifying but I was still furious that he thought it was fine to do that because most of it was true.

I was new and hindsight is a wonderful thing of course but you learn as you go along and like you, I do often chat with clients about stuff. It's not easy to make the whole lot up!

Ones I've never met that don't keep their distance. Last night, he follows me right up to the sink whilst I was pouring his water.  My back was turned & I could barely turn around he was close with a hungry look in his eyes. My rapist alarm bells were going off.

I told him to go sit down & said he should not do that especially whilst a woman back is turned.

I was told this when I started by a girl who invited me on jobs- she said clients are nosey, don't tell them anything real.
Just think up a fake 'you' with fake facts and after a while it becomes second nature. Or just ignore and distract by changing the subject.
They usually ask the same 5-10 questions anyway eg where you come from? how you started? what you do before this? Do you rent or own? Have you a boyfriend?
Nothing is private once you let it out in the wild to a stranger.

And if they choose to make up crap to entertain themselves that's really out of our control.

Indeed

Some clients can be very nosey and will try finding out stuff about you online. Even if they're not motivated by something sinister, i still think its creepy.

Just letting of steam. Had a client arguing about my rates on phone and text........ suggested he book someone else then came back and said he'll do it for me etc......a very no go area once annoyed me forget about it, and didn't like the sound of him.

Call me up ask which area I'm in then tell me they used to live there and don't want to do the booking just in case they are recognised
Yea  the whole borough will recognise him ..

Hi
I've been looking at your profile for some time now and wanted to come and see you
Never calls when given number never emails back .
I'd like to use a wank emoji 

When they call you and you pick up and they hang up the phone. Then send a text - Hi or Are you available.

Which for me I never respond I delete. If they stayed on the phone not hang up they have got a booking from me. Yet decided to hang up an text nonsense.
