Wondering what to do with these. It seems that for some reason, the minute I walk into the shower, or for whatever reason am not by my work phone, it rings.

What should I do with these? Politely text back and say Sorry I missed your call? Call back? Ignore it? I wouldn't want some guy's wife to get a hint of his secret gay fantasy, for example. On the other hand I don't wanna lose a booking.

Any ideas?

If it's within an hour I will text back "I'm sorry I missed your call." Only that. No XX or smilies or anything. They often do call back.

same as me

15 minutes for me, otherwise I wait for them to get in touch again. Since texting can be done while they are alone in the room for a moment, I prefer to assume that their wife or a coworker is sitting next to them at any given time. I don't really take phonecalls, though.

I'm with Helen on this one. 

How do we know they have just hung up because they didn't get an answer or it could have been because wifey just walked into the house or something similar. 

For me to call back is my number one bugbear on indiscretion and I won't do it. Discretion is so important in our job and we have to remember it is a two way street though I know some guys I'd gladly murder at times because of their indiscretion.

I just say who I am and if it's convenient to talk.
If it's not they'll hang up or say 'wrong number'
Or a text message inviting a call back.

I figure that if it's a big deal they would either:
1. Not call a prozzie in the first place
or
2. Phone me from a Burner
(They're grown-up's and can work it out)


This morning I had a call which I missed. 30 minutes later
I rang back. Spoke with Tentative Man {TM}.
TM thanked me for the call-back and asked for details
then suggested a 'maybe', later that morning.
He never completes outgoing calls* coz his wife once
sussed he had called a prozzy.....
He then texted to say he couldn't make it
followed by a text 30 minutes later, saying he could.
Then followed a series of texts {which I hate}
and resulted in a client and a rather delightful session
{ie A 15%er....one of those sessions that is WOW!}
Which wouldn't have happened without a call-back.




*The wise among you will be frowning as to why an outgoing phone call
could be found by his wife
but an incoming call and a text exchange is ok 
My head hurts if I think about this stuff for too long.

Oh gosh totally the opposite.
Where the job lasts much much longer, but feels like 15 minutes!   
It's the type of job (about 15%) where everything clicks
from conversation, attraction, sex, personalities,
and the engagement is a total pleasure in every aspect.

The vast majority of appointments I have are really nice
so the 15%er's are something really special.
Where you feel 'This is the best job in the world'.
