Always wondered. I usually arrive for a rendezvous early enough to account for some fudge factor. So ladies and gentlemen how early is appropriate for a “I am here let me know when you’re ready” type text? For me it has been 5 minutes early tops. More? Less? Or about right?

If you are on time, you are 10 minutes late. Except with any woman. If you are on time, you are 20 minutes early.
HaHa, yeah so true
I txt from my car that I've parked, usually about 3-4 min before the scheduled time, then go from there.
Seems to have worked out OK all these years.

Just had an hour and a half delay, in Abbotsford, thankfully I was on time…holy fuck and I was given the wrong address and a very fake picture (asian) only to get a 140 dollar handjob, but got her private number for next time….which probably won’t happen .

Yeah, I aim to be there 5 min early, but I will also message them when I'm en route to let them know if I'm ahead or behind, so they're in the know. Then I text when I arrive and then usually wait until the set time. Every once in a while they're ready and willing to see me early and that's fun too.

If you are very early, kill time somewhere. Never text more than 5 minutes before the scheduled time. Sometimes, it doesn't matter and she's cool about it. Sometimes, she's got issues of her own with time, anxiety, OCD, or other issues and your text 15 minutes early drives her into a panic, or a manic or depressive episode and the chances of you having a good session just got shot to hell. If you are going to be late, text and tell her as well. Far better to err on the side of caution than shoot yourself in the foot.

5 mins beforehand is preferable. I have clients sometimes arriving 10-15 mins early. If they arrive the early I prefer seeing a message like “Hey I’m here earlier than expected but please take your time” or to that affect. If they arrive that early and message where they seem impatient and message me question marks as a text, it tells me they are being impatient, and it can make me feel uncomfortable. Making me feel at ease prior to seeing me will help me be at my very best for you, and look forward to seeing you!

I like to shoot for being at the address10-15 minutes beforehand to give a buffer to find parking, especially if I'm not familiar with the location. Then I'll kill time until inside of 5 minutes before appointment and text to say I'm there.

Same. I'd rather be early than late. Just as you do, I hang out in my vehicle and relax if i'm too early. I wait til 5 minutes before booking time to text and I usually write something like "Just arrived. Let me know when you're ready"

I am in the upper valley, and drive into Bby or Rmd for ladies that work at shops.
I leave very early as traffic is a big gamble, and I never ever want to be late. It could be 1.5hrs, or 3hrs.
I always message the handler, when I am 'in the area'. That is sometimes an hour early.
The few handlers I use often, know me, and also know I am totally cool going to grab a drink or shop or whatever, but I feel good communication with them is important.
If it were a direct call indy, I would probably not tell her I am there until 10min prior as she is likely occupied or getting ready. If I have a regular indy (not for a long time), then I communicate more, as we know each other better and we base it on their wishes.

Arrive 5 min early, text. If she needs more time she will tell you.... Anybody can kill 5 min, text, email other stuff, etc.

If the time is set for 10, get there 5 min early.

Now if she is running late, (as in just getting there), she should tell you.

I generally arrive 5-10 mins early and text them that I am there at the 5 minute mark. I've occasionally been invited up a few minutes early and more often than not been appologized to for the lady running a few minutes behind. Usually only a few minutes but I've waited as much as 30 minutes in the past. When this happens I see it not as a major inconvenience but rather as an opportunity to let them know that I'm chill and not upset at waiting a bit. I try not to book sessions on days when I have a super tight window of time though. It's also a chance stretch out the anticiptaion of the upcoming encounter... Creating a relaxed comfortable atmosphere usually goes a LONG way to having a better connection and better session. One recent session I had with the Legendary Brittany Bunz can attest to that!

My take on timing:

It is natural courtesy to be 5 - 10 minutes prior to any appointment.
Traffic delays are no excuse as it should be anticipated.
When one anticipates delays they can easily be 20 minutes early or more.
There are those who might hide at the nearest coffee shop which is just as reasonable as waiting in ones vehicle listening to music or scrolling on their phone.
Early is being respectful NOT creepy.

When should you text when early?
When you show up for many appointments you inform reception of your arrival.
The practitioner becomes aware of your arrival when they are ready and consult the receptionist, and if ready to see you they will call you in.
Messaging can be considered the receptionist. Do not expect a response until the practitioner is ready, and do not continually harass the receptionist.

In some instances if you are significantly early and the practitioner is ready to see you, they may call you up early.
This does not mean that you get more of their time, it simply means that they will see you early and nothing more.
Seeing you early might clear there schedule up to end their day early or take an extra client and allows you to return to you days activities early also.

Early is early and nothing more unless the practitioner or client sees it as more than it is.. That's when it becomes creepy.

Early = Respect
