Not long ago a man booked me and told me he lived in ****** road which would make him a close neighbour! I was a bit unnerved but didn't show it.  I don't like to meet with clients who are a bit close for comfort.

The booking was ok but he talked a lot and his story regarding his ex and current gf who was unhinged and a complete mad woman made me start to think he was the unhinged one. I fretted a bit hoping he would not cause any trouble but it seems to be a one off booking and I now think maybe he was lying when he said he lived around the corner. No way of knowing but in all the time I have been here I have never seen him around locally.

I had a few men from my school wanting to book. I was like no. too weird.

Also some friends when drunk. Also too weird, i'm a huge dork in real life, It's not like I put on an act (because im shit at acting) but the switch for them would be bizarrey out of character to my normal, it's more an emotion that is hidden, sexual side (just like anyone doesnt go around being a slutty and horny) & it'd make things crazy awkward.

And also this one time this guy who i'm assuming DIDN'T know me, just found my social medias.... he was like 'Hey I know you, I want to make sure it's ok to proceed before telling you who I am, is *insert my boyfriends name* still in the picutre because I don't want any trouble as I know him. It sounded like a tactic to get me to say he'd found my real social media because anyone who ACTUALLY knows us, knows we're in an open relationship and we openly talk about fucking who ever we want, if not encourage and each other so it was clearly a snooper trying to pry because he found my real name & clearly didn't get all the info so was paranoid about being beat up by an angry boyfriend or something silly.

I don't even like people who my circle of friends KNOW coming to see me but i'm pretty sure I can't avoid that tbf because I wont recognise their faces. One time a guy slipped through screening, as he didn't know I knew he went to my school , I turned him down at the door which honestly i've done like..... 3 times EVER.  It's not because of the job honestly, you know when you're going through tinder and it says so and so knows so and so, I wont match because I prefer all of that to be private as private as sharing your butt on the internet can be lol

I don't so much worry about someone I know turning up as I can deal with that if it happens. As I said, spyhole in door /me seeing him from my window approaching my building would stop an embarrassing situation before it starts as I just would not open the door and would tell him to please go back to his car and I would phone. I would then not say I knew him but that some crisis has just come through on my personal phone and I have no option but to cancel.  At least that is what I have planned if it ever occurs.

I am much more likely to bump into clients when out and about as it has happened many many times with me. I worry that they try to stop me and talk. I don't want this.

One time I met a new man who was on business in my city and only here for 2 days. I could not believe my eyes the next day when in a large department store and browsing the stationery/greetings cards.  There he was just a few feet from me and we locked eyes. I turned away and shot off (I hadn't liked him in the booking anyway).

How much of a coincidence was that!
