Booking etiquette

[FrankMesmer]

Gents, just a little advice for someone new on the block.

Booking etiquette - how long do you tend to wait for any acknowledgement when booking through AW (I'm guessing this is the most reliable site with fewest scammers), before moving on.
Or, do you tend to spread the bet and wait for responses.
Or, just phone/text message
I'm sure there's no perfect answer, just looking for good advice, I've tried a number of routes and just had a number of delays and run arounds.

Cheers.

Have a plan A who you really want to see, plus a B and a C.   Contact them all by their preferred method (usually text but you occasionally get ones who want calls, emails).   Give your plan A as much time as you can to get back (this depends on your circumstances if you’re prepared to wait or need a fast booking if you’ve a window of opportunity just opened up) say 30-60mins tops as this’ll cover if they’re in the middle of a booking.   

Hopefully they get back, if not revert to plans B or C if they’ve responded.  If plan A does respond positively, let down B and C respectfully (e.g. sorry just had a work emergency but love your profile and I’ll try and rebook at a future date).   Don’t overuse or you’ll get a rep as a time waster.

[FrankMesmer]

Thank you, I appreciate the advice.
And would I be right in thinking AW is most peoples preferred option?
There appears to be a great deal of scepticism of VS.

[Stevelondon]

If AW works for what you’re looking for. Then go with the flow.
But  there are plenty on here who explore many different avenues with regard to meeting SP’s

As for the advice given by 3M

Plan A, B or even C never enter in any equation I use.
So I can’t offer any help with that particular formula.

If I have a SP cancel on me. It’s usually a case of me making other arrangements…….. like going to the pub.
An example would be something like travelling to (Let’s just say Ellie)……. I get a message from her saying something has come up can we do a rain check etc.

Me being me would not even think about looking for someone else on the fly. Simply because it would not be the punt I was looking forward too.
As I say. We all think differently with regard to sex so this is just me 🤷🏼

I best point out. Ellie has never cancelled

AW has it's fair share of scammers, and the reviews should be treated with caution, but it's currently the best available.
Among the several issues with VS is that the ads/profiles disappear very quickly, so making a mental "list" of the ones you fancy can backfire on you.

[RandomGuy99]

Hurriedly arranged plans B, C, D, E, F, G, etc. all tend to be disappointments, so if you can't get Plan A save your money for another day.

My tips are:

1. Contact the SP via their preferred method phone, text or AW email

2. Provide all the required information in your first message including:

- Date and time you want or if you are flexible on dates/time
- How long you want to book for
- Services you want
- Incall or outcall

Providing this information in your first message avoids the need for message tennis and the SP can reply with "Ok, booked.  See you later"

3. It is always good to check the last login date on the SP's profile as some SPs don't login very often and thus won't see your AW messages and if they haven't logged in for a while then they may be away.

4. Be patient for a reply as apparently some SPs actually have lives away from escorting and aren't sitting there 24x7 waiting for your message to arrive. If you go chasing within minutes or even hours you will just annoy the SP and possibly get blocked.  Give them time to reply.

have a plan B, C and D? - that always amuses me.

It depends where you live and what you like. I struggle to come up with a plan A let alone a plan B!!

And Op, becareful not to get cancel on girls (whether a plan A or b or C ) too much otherwise you will find you get either no response or "sorry, not available" because you are flagged as unreliable. better to wait to get your plan A tomorrow than get the wrong reputation.

[signy]

WRT your first point, it is not clear to me what you are doing.

If you are contacting an escort through an AW email (or similar), then you should get a response within a couple of days. It is worth checking if she has logged on in that period, and if not then she might have just be away and a bit more leeway could be allowed (although it is not absolutely necessary for an escort to log on to read messages). That is plenty of time for anyone to check their diary, read any feedback you might have and do a safety check on your phone number if you have supplied it. If you are making contact through text, then you should get a reply pretty quickly, that after all is the point of asking for text comms, especially if she is "available today" and so clearly at work.

However, if you are making contact through the AW "booking request" system without any prior contact, then just stop. Many escorts find this very annoying and you will just be ignored. Make contact through email, text of phonecall to arrange booking, and then do a booking request if required. (Of course, this doesn't apply if the escort states that the booking request form is her preferred method of contact, but this is not common).

[FrankMesmer]

Signy, thank you, that is clearly where I'm going wrong.
Was submitting the booking request and hearing nothing.
Mistakenly thought that was the first step, with further comms if they are free.

Every day is a school day..

[scutty brown]

I never book through AW.
Have tried in the past and been ignored too many times. Often because the girls themselves don't bother with it.
I find texts and phone calls are the way to go - responses tend to be quicker and more reliable

What site do you book through then  I am assuming that you mean you get the SP's contact info off AW, but don't actually make a booking there, yes ?

I don't book through any website, or make contact through any website.
If the girls phone number is shown on AW or VS or other webpage then I text or ring the number. If it's not then I move on to someone else

I was going to run and hide from this question but no I will be honest.
I go with the ABC formula. Even DEF etc

It is what it is and I’m an idiot 

[martin1964]

You've got to do what works for you, however, the advice given by RandomGuy99 and others is pretty solid.

I would just add that when I'm trying to fix a booking up I pick say 5 girls that are likely to be free on the date/time that I want. I always read through their profile pages and see if they have published availability as there's no point in emailing a girl who specifically advertises her availability if she's not available when you want to book.

I just say in my email that I've also emailed a few other girls in case you're not available, so whoever responds first to me with something firm gets the booking. That way you don't need to email girls sequentially and be kept hanging on for days on end waiting for plan A to get back to you whilst plan B is getting booked up and you end up trying to arrange something last minute on the day which in my experience either leads to disappointment or you seeing whoever is available which might not meet your requirements in terms of location, timing, physical appearance or services offered etc.

There' s danger with this that plan E comes back to you quickly saying she's free, you accept this and then plan A comes back soon after saying she's free as well. You then run the risk of either going with plan E when A was available or having to cancel plan E if you want to run with plan A.

To get round this problem I subscribe to the AW detailed emails, it's about £9 a year and it sends you the content of the AW email received to your registered email address with AW. That way you can see the responses coming in without having to log into AW and show that you've read the girls email which can create pressure to respond.

If plan A comes in first I'll log in and confirm with her, but if B, C, D or E come in I'll wait maybe until the following day before responding, because I know by this time what's in my inbox before I log in and can approach it from a stronger position. This also reduces the need to keep logging into AW to check for emails, you only need to log in when you need to reply.

This might not work for everyone but it works well for me.

[JontyR]

Apologies if its been said elsewhere but as part of your due diligence check reviews of your intended SP on here. Often there is a section in the reviews about how to contact or when it is best to.

Personally if there is a number listed I call it. If there is no answer then I follow it up with a text.

Texts should be clear, but not rude or presumptive. Detail that you are enquiring a (incall / outcall) for (time length) at (date and time) for (Services) and (special requests here) you would like to know availabilty.

Some SPs will request a booking to be made through AW. You may also request it at the punt if you are seeking to build up feedback for use with other SPs.

[Malvolio]

Case one - there's a particular WG I want to book.  Read her profile, see what it says, make contact and arrange a punt, which will be in a few days.

Case two - I want a punt today.  This is where the AW hotlist comes into its own - I have about 50 WGs on there.  I look to see who's available today, and start making phone calls until I can speak to a WG and arrange the punt.  Quite often they don't answer, but send through a text and I can arrange the punt that way.

[jseop109]

If I  book in advance I would also send a text on the morning of the punt to confirm. So the WG is reassured that I'm not a time waster and also it may save me a wasted journey if the punt doesn't materialise.

This is a requirement of mine for all bookings regardless of them being booked the day before or a month before, the only exception is on the day bookings when I'm on tour and/or GL. You will find a lot of escorts do the same.

As the guys here have said, read her profile and use her preferred contact method, if you are booking a few days in advance and using the AW email system or text messages, allow up to a day for your A to reply before making an enquiry with B&C etc

If you are booking by phone on the day it depends on how long your window of opportunity is, calling or texting at 9am for a 6pm or later booking give her till say 11am to respond, if its 10am for 12 noon and you have an hours travel, go down your list till you get a reply or get more organized

When I started in this hobby. I shot texts to 5-8 WGs that I fancied & waited for replies to cone in. I then proceeded with best available booking.

I usually also send a ‘sorry another girl got back to me’ message.

I figure it sets me up if I try again 

[hairdownthere]

I use hotlists of girls I want to see, that way I can see how regularly they log on, and update their profile.

If they have number displayed I'll text to see if/when they are free, if no number I'll send an email through AW to find out when they are free.  I don't take any notice of the availability diary.  I don't suggest days or times to the SP's as usually they'll ask me.

If I get a positive response by any method then I'll say I'll put a booking request in via Adultwork.

Vivastreet is a different matter, take all the pics, locations, age and ethnicity with a pinch of salt.  I've been pretty lucky with it though.  If it seems to good to be true, then it is too good to be true.  Expect threatening texts from Albanian gangsters from time to time - play with them.

Never, on AW or VS pay a deposit.

[Strawberry]

The problem with 'When are you free?' is it doesn't give me a timescale, some contacting me asking this are requiring next month, others in two weeks time, some today or tomorrow.

It's also useful to know if it's incall or outcall and if outcall a rough location. Quite a few are vague on this giving a chain hotel name, or the county.

With the information I can give a quick reply if and when possible.

[thatsaint]

I tried AW website bookings and emails, either got no reply or they read it after I wanted the booking. It's crap to be honest.

As I pretty much primarily use BP, they have their numbers on there and I just text them to arrange anything. Sometimes they don't text back and they are straight off the list. They often want bookings on that day, so I see who's available. I don't waste their time by multi booking and picking the best though, not that I'd feel sorry for their wasted time, more because I'm not a complete cunt.

Now even if using AW, I'd only bother with ones I can text, because I cba with using the site for bookings. Just be polite, but get straight to the point - WGs don't want a conversation with you before they've met you, because punters do that and waste their time. Think if they get to know them, they'll lower the price or get a freebie.

[Shropslad2008]

I contacted an SP  a few weeks ago to enquire about an outcall booking. We set a time/date during the conversation. She wanted me to text her the location to confirm the booking. I sent a message to confirm the day/time, length of booking and services I was looking for ( all included in her likes list and pretty run of the mill) and asked her to confirm she was happy with the plan before texting the location to her. That was the last I heard from her.

This last point is very true. I was finding it hard to make bookings recently ie no replies or "not available/fully booked" Then last week a girl, after initialing taking my booking, cancelled  because she had "read some bad reviews" about me. She wouldnt elaborate but it seems it is very easy for girls to flag you up as a timewaster even if you have a genuine reason to cancel. Ive never not turned up or deliberately wasted a girl's time but have somehow ended up on a bad list. So guess i will have to start again with a new sim card, annoying as ive used that number for many years.
