Had someone today who toldme he wad driving and therefore had to txt.  Told him it was dangerous and illegal and to call when he had stopped driving.

He hasn't called although he continued texting for a while. Clearly not that interested in booking.

Told me it was his bday, I was so tempted to tell him that if he kept texting and driving it could be his last bday.  But that would break my rule of telling them to call and then ignoring their txts.

I think it's fair to say we all have different experiences with clients' booking habits. What works for one will not work for another.

I always take bookings only when I have spoken to potential clients first.

Yes indeed I have heard all the reasons why a guy cannot phone ....

Errrrm:

I am in a meeting
My wife/gf is at home
My mother is at home
I have no credit
I have trouble with speaking English
I am shy
I am at the Drs/Dentists
I am driving
I am deaf
I am a mute
I am a deaf mute

Seriously it goes on and on, I need to hear the persons voice I am going to meet to see whether this person is a nice respectful man .... full stop .... no exceptions.

If he cannot phone me, he will not be meeting me.

From reading OP's post, seems to me she meant guys who are just interested in "chit chat" texting with no plan at all to book.

I'm not sure she was asking what method of communication was best, but how to deal with the idol type who just love to text for no apparent reason ( just my thought)

If I have met before I don't mind a quick text now and then.  However apart from two or three I am not friends with most of my clients so there is no need for them to text me out of the blue just for a chat and I will answer one or two and then ask them if they want a booking to call.  After that I ignore any more texts they send although some will send the 'aww I thought we were special friends' text or the I am bored and fancy some sexy chat which gets them put on the pushing boundary list and I would be unlikely to see them again.  I am sure they would not be happy if I started texting them late at night when they were in bed with the wife saying I wanted sexy chat so why would I be happy with it.  I wouldn't and I am not.
I don't even text my friends much as I hate texts they are far to impersonal and not easily understood due to losing the tonal changes of the voice so misunderstandings can and often do happen

Also a text could be from a TW you've blocked using a different nmbr and I have a few I don't want to see again who still call me so it could be one of them trying to catch me out, one of the reasons I won't answer withhelds either.

New client arranged a booking with a few days ago. Says he's never had "full sex" before, only blowjobs (he's 28!)

Keeps texting me nonstop. I think he's nervous/excited, but it's doing my head in.

*Calls me 3 times*
Me: Sorry, did you call me? (being all vague as I don't know his situation)
Him: Yes, it's me the person who talked to you via aw, I was just gonna ask if you do phone chat? As it will make me feel better when I meet you. "the person who talked to you via aw." Because there's only one of those.
Him: one minute later So do you do phone chat ?x (Not mentioned anywhere in my list of services etc on AW, the only place I advertise)
Me: Sorry, what's your name and username? I don't do phone chat as in X rated, but I'm happy to have professional conversations to arrange bookings and always ask people to call on the day to confirm.
Him: Yeah my username is [username] and yes you told me to call you to confirm the booking on the day.
Me: Ah, [name]! Hi there
Him: Hey lol
Me: I just messaged you on AW (a message saying he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do, we will take things at his own pace, but equally there is nothing to be afraid of)
Him: Yeah, I guess you right
Him: Its the feeling of me wanna try it really bad but at the same time it feels weird lol
Him: Is there a limit to how many times I can cum lol
Him: Sorry, tell me if you not ok with me talking to you at the moment (all these texts within a minute)
Me: (about 45mins later) No there isn't. Sorry, I was busy.
Him: Its alright no worries x
Him: So how many times can I cum !? (I just answered this in my last text?!?!)
Me: As many times as you like in the time you've booked?

I know it shouldn't be, and it is business related, but it's frustrating. The calling over and over again annoyed me - I could have been in a booking, or with civvie friends. The texts coming through one after another and then adding "let me know if you not ok with me talking to you at the moment" got to me. The asking about services I don't offer annoyed me. And why the fuck would someone say "the person who talked to you via aw"?? Does he not understand how this works? 

Got another one this morning from someone else.

03:04am Him: hey jess it's [username], how are ya hun x
08:40am Me: What's up? You're already confirmed for Monday?

I don't understand why someone would think it is okay to contact a service provider with a bland text at 3am that isn't even business related??? The mind boggles. 

Agree with everyone else about nipping texts in the bud unless they're directly related to a booking. I point out to punters that it costs me to send every text (I have a PAYG phone for work at the moment), and that I'm quite happy to answer any questions etc. via email. It's amazing how many say they're computer illiterate - how did you find me then?!
