Had a lunchtime punt planned for last week with a relative new girl on AW, although has worked for agencies. Arranged a few days in advance, comm's were good and told her I'd text on the day to confirm. For some reason I thought I might have an issue and on the morning she didn't respond to a text sent at 9.30am. I gave it an hour and then texted again to say if I hadn't heard back by 11am, I'd be making other arrangements but still nothing.
As I don't have access to AW during the day, I'd spent some time a couple of weeks ago transferring all my HL candidates into a spreadsheet for easy and quick reference should I need it in an emergency. Bloody glad I did now as this rescued my Friday punt, and then some.
By 11am I'd prepared a text giving time, duration etc and said first response gets the booking. I also added that if they were already busy or unavailable not to respond - no point - and fired it off. I have about 60 in my HL but most were too distant to be manageable in the time I had, but I still found 8 that would add no more than 5 mins travel time each way to my normal commute. Two I'd seen before and though I'm not big on returns, I was already planning to see them again and five I hadn't seen, a couple of whom were a bit risky and may not have been genuine.
Within 2 mins I'd had a reply from both the girls I'd seen before and within a minute another from a girl who I had contacted previously about possibly arranging something. Upshot was that I went with the first response and the girl I'd seen previously is arranged for this week and she's promised to get something specific for our meet at my request. Couldn't have worked out better!
Made me think though that I may use this in future, particularly if I have a slightly bigger window and can therefore select more girls to aim it at. It also means I have an instant plan B that works a treat
May be useful for newbies (or not so newbies) as being relatively new myself, I so far hadn't experienced the run around you can get from some WG's
