And BTW, how DO you pronounce your name - it's bugging me lol?

Is it Shorsha - phonetically??

I was wondering that too!!

I do both, am guilty of letting it ring & texting if I'm busy or not working that day. I hate feeling like I'm working in a call centre. Tried that job and it kicked off my anxiety disorder. Will always get them to call to confirm though.

Hope I cleared up the "how to pronounce Siorse" lol, properly spelled it's Saoirse, pronounced Sheer-sa, it's irish Gaelic for freedom

If I can speak I will, if I can't I'll text but that doesn't mean I'll go on and on with basic enquiries - which does happen.

I love this post. Exactly what I needed. I get attacked for not answering the phone and actually think have lost work and friends from it. I'm super comfortable meeting face to face and really get off on meeting people but get sooo anxious and feel sooo awkward on phone, like other posts have said on this thread. Does this make any sense at all? And what triggers this contrast in emotions when on phone vs face to face?

I have no idea what causes it, but I'm the same, I hate phoning, even my own family.. I've been forcing myself to answer the phone
for work lately because it's a shit phone, it was getting clogged up with texts, and it was taking forever (you can ask 10 questions
about a booking in a minute on the phone, but texting back and forth takes too long, especially when I'm busy..!!)
But if I can get away with it, I'd still rather text.
All my close friends and family know I don't like phoning, so they don't bother lol, and aren't in the slightest bit surprised I never
answer the phone to them

But like you, I have no problem talking to people face to face etc.. It's a weird one!

Seems we're pretty divided on this lol, some of us prefer emailing/texting, others insist on phoning.
I do admit on the phone you can instantly tell someone's age (roughly), but I stand by my opinion that you can tell a lot from
texts (and e-mails) too!
At least I'm not the only one who doesn't like phoning lol, I'm not the only freak
I don't mean I'd take a booking after just one text, and it's not that I'm completely petrified answering a phone,
but I just don't like it..
Sometimes it's necessary, but I get by with a minimum amount of phoning and I don't think I get anymore nutters, psycho's or TW's
than anyone else, maybe like a blind person learns to rely on their other senses, I've learned to rely on my
other senses rather than
verbal ones

Agree with above.
A psychopath is easily Clever enough to be convincingly lovely on the phone or email so I don't think we can ever screen perfectly.

I think to screen time wasters its about making your clients jump through hoops basically. This way they have to make more effort and only genuine clients tend to do that.
I ask for a specific type of email/text for a booking.. I ignore all one line texts such as "working today?" etc.
My issue with phonecalls is that I can't feel my gut instinct/bad vibes instantly.. Often it comes to me over a few minutes.. So on a short phonecall I would be too busy trying to sound professional and sexy and pleasant etc to be analysing his manner/voice/conversation. So I would end up politely accepting guys for bookings and then reflecting on the phone call after I put the phone down i would suddenly realise there was a red flag/bad vibe. Then I would have to contact them back and decline, really pissing guys off in the process! Lol.
With a text/email i am only analysing them, with a clear head and in my own time.. And i can think up anything else I am want to find out before accepting a booking,in my own time. And of course with the one liners I don't respond at all anyway. That saves me time compared with taking calls and finding out a guy is a knob/rude or whatever.
A guy who is a misogynist who has a total lack of respect for wgs is hardly going to put effort into a long text or email to meet a prossie.. Therefore I only get lovely guys...

I can't stand texting. Too much back and forth and I use a brick phone so there's a lot of clicking on my end and if i give in to this texting that punters seem to enjoy, i'm afraid I might just suffer from RSI. Its so much easier to call and get it over with. Setting up and appointment by phone usually takes a couple seconds whereas it takes much longer by text. From my experience anyway. I admit though, I have been entertaining a bit of texting as it's been really slow and I usually tell them to call to confirm and most do so why not just call in the first place? Some are shy to talk on the phone ( I have no patience for that) Some are in work or with the wife (Fine just call me when you can) I had one guy recently who called and immediately hung up. Didn't even give me a chance to pick up. It's like as soon as the phone rang once he cut it off immediately and then text me to ask when is the best time to call (trying to make it out as though he tried ringing and I didn't pick) I said he can call now to which he replied that he was on the bus, I said fine, call me when you can. Did he call back? NO! It's not like if you are going to be on the bus all day. Surely at some point between being on the bus and coming to see me you must be by yourself. It's a bit irritating to be honest. I understand the whole phone phobia thing I just don't understand the man behind the phobia. If that makes sense. Most are grown men with lots of life experiences, married with kids and a job. The fact that you are shy to talk to a 20 year old girl on the phone baffles me. Sorry, I just don't get it.

I know that phobias aren't subject to age but still $:-\$ Even when i was 11 or so and I wanted to talk to cute guy on the phone I was petrified but I sucked it up and spoke for a good 2 minutes. Why can't you now just call me and speak for 30 seconds? Especially if you see that I'm not replying to your text or I specifically ask you to call. I do hope they get over this somehow. All it takes is practice. one short call at a time. Unless you have something to hide

and don't get me started on the men who email me for same day bookings.

This is me exactly! I have been escorting for 3 or 4 years now and have always taken bookings by text or email. I do have a phone that I can attach to the computer and use a program to send texts though, so it's fairly quick and easy for me to reply to texts.

heather3 · « **Reply #39 on:** 10 October 2015, 05:43:10 pm »

most of my bookings come from email (that they can put a half decent email together helps me screen) and then I insist on an phone call before booking - seems to work OK - funny but I don't get many texts and I hate text speak: r u free? does my head in!::

meetingdiversity · « **Reply #40 on:** 10 October 2015, 05:55:41 pm »

Personally it is difficult to pick up a vibe from texts. I would rarther talk to them. Then if decide to cancel after thought will do. Texting takes up too much time. I would rather be on the move than playing text tennis.

cherryfcuk · « **Reply #41 on:** 10 October 2015, 10:52:55 pm »

90% of my bookings come from pre bookings on aw, I will take calls and text to fill gaps in betwen these bookings.
I don't mind talking on the phone, i put my number up on aw but i prefer to text back if they bother to send a coherent text other than stupid stuff like 1pm ??

LIKED Takes up wayy too much time. I think they have it in their heads that we are just sitting around waiting for a text to come through to get a booking. This time I am busy fucking the man that phoned to book. sigh!

kate_x · « **Reply #43 on:** 11 October 2015, 12:58:19 pm »

I don't ever take a booking by text unless it's a regular. I find it helps reduce the timewasters. All too easy to send countless free texts and hide behind when they've got nothing better to do with their time!

Any texts I do get I send 1 reply only saying that they need to call me as I won't reply to anymore texts - it's very few that call after that! Take this morning for instance 5 texts and once I replied saying that none of them rang! If they genuinely want to see us they will abide to our terms and call. If they are busy, on a bus, at work, wife/gf around then ring when you can!

Ah, Saturday night Sunday morning texts. Usually want you 'niw' including 5am in the morning still drunk or hungover. I get a few of those every weekend.

I do send a polite reply, then it's up to them. One sent after 11pm was from someone who I'd turned down for an advance booking for last night because he was wanting it at the end of a night out drinking, which would render him drunk. My ads clearly state that I don't want to see anyone who is drunk or hungover.

I guess he thought he'd try it on the night. Most nights of the week I'm almost always already booked, or asleep, or if not then doing something in my personal life.
