Replies by SP's by text to pooners, when is an appropriate time lapse to call

[Rickyatthey]

I want to ask all SP's and pooners when and how long of a time lapse is appropriate for a SP to return a text.
I have had a few experiences in the last while since I have returned to the hobby where I text a SP for information and/or availability and there would be no immediate response which is not an expectation as that SP can be busy or not working......common sense.
However, I have experienced on a few occasions where I send a message out and the SP returns the text the next day...is that appropriate? I have always maintained a high level of discretion with SP in the past but I wonder if that discretion is being lost. On a few occasions in the past couple of years I have had text messages from SP's sometimes after a 3 day lapse.
The reason I bring this forward is due to an experience I had last night where I called a SP at 2 pm...she returned the reply at 1230 am late...10 hours later ( I won't bother getting into the details of the messages as that is another issue) So back to my original question to all...what should be or what is the etiquette for reply calls or texts from SP to pooners ? Especially for the ones that might be in relationships or are expecting some sort of discretion? After last night I thought to myself, thank goodness I normally don't get involved in this hobby when I am in a relationship.
Thank you. Looking forward to opinions from all. R

I stopped doing "thank you so much for coming!" texts for discretion, and I encourage communication via text or email based off of your own discretion. I do try to respond to text messages even more quickly than emails; however, this may not always be possible due to travel, extended dates, or simply being otherwise preoccupied with life. Most of my clients (98% probably) are single.

I allow prospective clients to screen using their texting number, but to communicate via email-only by request. If this is a potential option for some of your SPs, I highly recommend it!

My answer to you is to (1) ensure that you are forward with you expectations of discretion, and (2) use a separate phone if necessary to protect yourself and your personal life. We cannot control the actions of others; we can only accommodate for our own preferences and comforts assuming that others wouldn't be aware in the moment.

The level of professionalism of the lady will vary, just like her service levels. Many professional SPs will state right in their ad or on their site that if they cannot reply in a specific time frame, they will not do so. Others will not only reply the next day, the next week or whenever they feel like it, they will spam you with texts when they are slow and looking for clients right out of the blue.

Either use a burner or a text app, or give them a window for replies. There's been many stories over the years of a text arriving and a spouse seeing it either at that point or later on. Take precautions and realize that while some ladies are discreet, others don't give a good goddamn about your living situation or privacy.

If you give a time frame to which we can respond that would be really helpful and/or just text again ..I miss a bunch of texts sometimes and I am always conflicted if I should respond if it’s a couple hours later 😖😖

In my opinion 2-3 hours is quite reasonable. 10 hours later after midnight is a bit extreme IMHO. Thank you for input...all of you previous to this thread.

I sometimes will reply to a text hours later or even the next day. But it really depends on the text.

if somebody’s text seems to imply they’re looking for right now, I won’t reply. If somebody’s text is just looking for basic information, I’ll reply. I am super discrete in my replies and will never cold call anybody or send a text out of the blue. However, I will reply to some texts and ignore others

90% of my appointments prebook a few days to a few weeks in advance. Sometimes it makes sense to reply and sometimes it doesn’t.

If you’re in a relationship, please be responsible and think ahead. Look after your own discretion by using a burner phone or giving the lady a time in which she can’t send a message.

ie: hi my name is so and so and I’d like to see you at this time. Please only reply to this text Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm. Or if an hour has gone by, please don’t reply etc etc.

I will do my best to be discrete but please look after your own discretion as well.
