So I still haven't decided on the client, but he let it slip he is going to be London for a trip before we meet so I told him that we would have to meet in person then, and we could the deposit out of the way. He said 'well I am very busy and not sure about that' to which I said I could accommodate his schedule and if he was serious he would meet, otherwise I am not comfortable. Haven't heard back yet.
This is the third time he's contacted me, the first time was for a 6 hour appointment but I was traveling, the second was for a two day trip and I turned him down because there was something iffy about it, and now it's for a 3 day weekend. He seems legit on the phone but it just seems like a lot of money to spend on someone you haven't met in person, I mean not everyone looks like their photos.
