There are plenty of rants and vents on what “not” to do when booking a lady, especially on a first booking. It is very interesting on the approach some pooners use with their first correspondence and I can see why some may be blacklisted.....but what happens if your client is a regular ?
Now, I am the first to admit, I am not every ladies cup of espresso and I may be looking at this in an overly pessimistic manner. But, I have standing orders to myself not to ask for anything more than twice. If I request a booking, for example, or ask for availability, I only do so twice. If I get no reply within one week between each correspondence, I assume I have been fired and I move along. From most of the threads out there, two seems like the standard most go by. But sometimes curiosity gets the better of me and I ask for feedback on the ladies rationale. I am far from possessive, rarely, if ever late, never overstay my welcome and pay my bills on time.......so the curious nature in me on what I may have done gets the better of me.
So what’s my problem? To date, I have had this happen three times where a regular lady had failed to respond to my requests. I thought I was fired, but in all cases I assumed incorrectly. Is my logic flawed? and would it be better to ask flat out to the lady if I have been fired? My personal definition of a regular is anyone I see at least once a month for several months. In two cases, I have the ladies at least ten times.
As a pooner, I get confused about this. If a lady likes to maintain regular clients, would it not be prudent for the lady to tend to regulars as a priority or I'm I in a delusional world? I can see one request being missed, anyone can do that, but two makes me think that the lady would prefer not to see me.
Now, I do have a verbal contract with one of my regular ladies that in the event that she feels the need to press the eject button that we talk about it first. Is this a conversation I should be having with all of my regulars? Or is it an unwritten rule that it is the ladies responsibility to let the pooner know he is fired ?
Firing anyone is not an easy thing to do. That is why I tend to think that the easiest way for the lady is just not to return correspondence or does it really depend on the maturity of the pooner and SP?
So......Ladies....How do you fire a Regular?
