Nova, I know exactly what you mean. It's the same for me almost word from word. I have the same issue and can't afford anything. Also I hate talking on the phone n like to know what I'm doing that day when I get up. But as you say, something's got to give, right now it's my sanity, stress levels are going through the roof what with the bills not getting paid every month and finances getting worse n worse and I actually do get a ton of guys asking for my number and cos I don't list it I never hear from them again so I will have to bite the bullet and change that and just make sure I'm ready to work at all times when it's displayed or turn off my phone. I also only like doing about 3 bookings max a day depending on the length of them (rare I get that many). I'm not interested in high volumes coming to my door, neighbours getting suspicious, or pushing my body beyond comfort. I'd be happy with only seeing 4 people a week even. It's not like I'm asking for much. I've been escorting a long time but it's never been really lucrative except for the first couple of years when I didn't really have the financial commitments I have these days so the money was really just for spending on nice things, not as a means to actually survive. I'm sure there's loads of escorts around my area but I know they don't offer everything I do so even if they might be a glamour model with a perfect figure and in their twenties I still have something they don't.
I'll just have to get over my phone phobias as nothing will change until I make some changes. I don't know how I'll deal with those I decide not to see though without offending. What do u say? Or when you've already started to accept n then they say something which makes u change your mind? Or if u straight away know that there's no way you'll see them? Probably another thread here and maybe it's been covered but these are things that concern me. I think maybe I need to advertise in more places n try new listing sites, maybe if I put my number up too things will change. I've no idea what the best sites are and what's a waste of time though. Is it different for everyone or are there certain places which work better than others? I'm not paying to be on any site, I can't afford to.
