Today I got an email through AW from a guy with plenty feedback from decent working girls and he has said that he wants a 2 hour booking with me today at 3pm, but he has annoyed me because he has put his phone number in the email and said “if you want me to book you then please contact me via text or what’s app on xxx”, and that’s just not how I operate, on my page in a very clear way it says to book me you must phone me, now my number isn’t up as I’m not available yet but I did email him back and ask him to call me after 9am yet I’ve heard nothing so far though it’s still early.

My issue is that I am the service provider and so why the hell should I contact him, can you imagine contacting your hairdressers out of hours and saying “now if you want to cut and colour my hair at 3pm
then can you please phone me”, I don’t believe many businesses would do that unless they’re a new salon or they were desperate for the business, he wants to book me HIS way it seems and whilst I need the cash then it’s the principle of the damn thing, and he said to contact him via texting and I insist on a convo regardless of AW feedback.

Should I wait and see if he contacts me or should I contact him? I really don’t want too but I need the money and it’s 2 hours, or so he says anyway.

Things like this really irk me and with the fact I’m having burn out just now then it will be on my mind the whole time, not even met him and he is annoying me already!

I do leave my number on answering machines of other businesses, and grateful if they call me back.

Regards sex work I am cautious about any typed number because of the result of genuine typos, as well as people thinking it's a good idea to provide their bosses/mates/other friend's numbers. Same for email addresses.

If I was available, if I was able to I may actually try the number - but with attitude of if it doesn't work I'll move on.

Much of the time I reply with 'please call me on' and type my number even though it is already on my profile.

I prefer phone contact to back and forth messages.

Well he does have lots of feedback with other ones that have plenty too but I know feedback doesn’t always mean anything but it looked real.

Anyway he never did contact me and I checked and he read my email, and yes you are right that he was a major boundary pusher by wanting me to do things his way.  As for my what’s app settings, well I have it set to showing my profile pic to people whose number I’ve saved and I didn’t even put his number in my phone so he wouldn’t have gotten to see me, what annoys me is that I no longer have my face pic in my AW pics so I’m deffo not gonna show them via what’s app, you would think they may work that out!

I have a standard reply to this sort of thing:

'Hello ***,
Thanks for contacting me:)
 Please call me at your earliest convenience to discuss the possibility of a meeting today'
Then sign off with my name, number and a solitary 'x'
It shows I read his email and a meeting could be an option today, but that the next stage is a call. From him. To me.  That's it. No other option.
I am firm  (but friendly) in my procedure.

I do this several times every day and if I can see they have replied without calling (ie, point blank ignoring my request) then I deliberately leave it unread and delete and block the following day or so.

Yes, I agree with you that it smacks of arrogance.

If I get drivel like that I send a quick, please call, but I then forget about it.
My way or the highway.
Thank god I get few 2 hour requests. One hour is more than enough! 

I never call, I don’t even like talking on the phone that much if I’m honest. I rather a few message exchanges on whatsapp job done!
Those who insist on a lengthy telecom are generally TW or knocking one out!

It’s me that insists on a call first and I’m only on the phone a few mins, I go by gut instinct on whether or not I want to see them and I can’t do this via texting.

It was extremely arrogant of him to expect me to do this, and especially as it says in caps that I insist on a call from new clients, no call no booking.
