You know, last night as I was thinking about how quiet things have been going the past month, I began to think about when I had first moved to the city I currently live in, which was last July. From that time, I was just beginning my advertising on the main sites. I had few professional photos, and they really werent the best. I was even told by a couple people that I could use better photos. Yet, I was getting calls left and right...and at this point I had forgotten how many appointments I was actually getting. I was on a role!

Now, and actually since around November I have noticed things have gotten so quiet, eerily quiet. Even the bookings I do get are from those who happen to be in town themselves from a trip. So I'm wondering, is traveling the way to go? The answer in my head has been yes all along. I feel like I have dried up whatever base I had here. There are times when on a website where I used to get business, I have gone 2-3 weeks with nothing at all! I have spent membership fees on websites and havent gotten a single booking from it, yet few months ago it was my main source of bookings! I have some travel plans coming up for next month in which I will be gone for a while to several different places. I cannot wait. But I cant help but wonder, isnt that how it must remain?

I really cant quite pinpoint whats causing this to be this way. Im thinking, its the city? (Although I live in a big city, the escort/client pool is small compared to cities equal its size, e.g. Chicago.) Is it the time of year? Or have I over-grazed this town to the point where my base is dried and sparse?

I don't know what its like in the gayscene or in the states, but from your posts it didn't seem like you have many regulars, so if the pool is limited maybe you have exhausted it and perhaps you were at first very popular as you were fresh blood in town. It could also be the time of year, economic climate or a combo of it all.

If you are honest you have been thinking about moving on for a while and I think you are just looking for confirmation to take that last step. Since you are going to travel you might as well suss out where else you would like to be and move on.

Thats what Im saying. Its dry like burnt toast right now. As far as regulars, I do have a couple here and there...but the majority of them have just been 2nd time meets, not necessarily regulars per say. Im starting to not even feel like an escort anymore  :(  Im not busy, every inquirie seems to go no where, and I dont even get the chance to turn down a booking! I want to turn down late-Saturday night bookings but at this point I find myself waiting for them!

I'm just going to stay positive and just ride out these last couple weeks. I already have it set, Im just waiting to move forward with it!

Hi Joey,

You will be fine I'm sure, perhaps you just need a strategy to work/aim toward which will keep you optimistic. 

Besides, there some great boys and girls on here who will no doubt be sharing your views and concerns of the lack of 'traffic' and be supportive ;-)

At those 'quite times' (and I do get this) I get on with other stuff that I have been putting off for months, you know, paying bills, getting paperwork sorted, cleaning the car, updating website blah blah.

As you know, clients are pretty much like buses right (not in a derogatory sense your understand) none to be seen or heard one minute and the next, BAM all come at once!

You will be fine ;-) the credit crunch is not helping either and guess all escorts maybe feeling the pinch in some form or other.

BTW, have a site? be interested to look at it ;-)

Keep your chin up bud!

Thanks Ric, and the bus analogy is great! Plus I used to take the bus so I know what its like, especially in Miami LOL. Anyway, yes I have a website...but Im not sure if you're ok looking at my X rated stuff  ;)  If so let me know and I can PM to you.

Also, yes at this point all I can think and talk about is how slow things have been around here business wise. I know soon enough it'll all just come together again   :)
