Texting etiquette

[westcoastrider1982]

Often I find myself contacting an sp only to get no response to my enquiries.
Just wondering what the many reasons would be for not responding?
Is it because the sp is worried about being discreet if they don’t respond within 10-15 min?
Simply too busy that day?
Not liking the questions I’m asking?
Etc etc?

If I don’t get a response is it rude to text again?

I would guess the ladies are busy or they aren't working or a multitude of other reasons they don't respond. When I'm interested in seeing someone I typically text 4 or 5 ladies. First one to respond and lock down a time gets my business.

Thanks for asking. You've been around here awhile, so I don't imagine you ask inappropriate questions...The most likely explanation that the SP hasn't been able to respond in a timely manner. Most pooners I think will appreciate that most SPs make a point of not texting back after 60 minutes or so have passed. For me, when I can't get back right away, I send a generic "Sorry I missed your call" message. Another possible explanation might be that she is using a texting program that filters out numbers as CONTACTS, SPAM, & OTHER. This happened to me recently....I realized I had missed a whole bunch of texts like this, but 2 or 3 or 5 days after the fact, I couldn't contact those people again! All I can do is hope that they did not take offence & will contact me. As for texting again, it isn't rude to text again politely.

I think some texting apps don't always send/allow every message through. I'd say sending a repeat message a week or so later would be ok; or, trying a different method like emailing. If you try a couple of times and get no response, I'd move on.

I’ve had ladies and handlers literally get mad at me for texting again a few hours later.
Usually get a response “I’m busy you know!!!” or something along those lines. I move on if I get responses like that.
Also getting quick one word responses to multiple questions results in me “moving on”

 

[blakealridge]

oh yeah, I wouldn't text back a few hours later. I'd wait a week.

I'd give it 36 -48 if you've sent a few messages & gotten no response, probably.

yeah maybe I was being a bit liberal with a week, I second this <3

Nope- just don't be a pest or come across as a needy bastard.
Oh yeah- and don't ask for a discount or if she has a stamp card program- best way to get ignored!:bounce:

I've literally made "and a free stamp on my punch card" part of my rate when I'm hosting a local business owner.

Might it be reasonable to add "p.s. if you're busy right now and don't see this til much later, it's still ok to reply" or some more specific time frame, assuming that's true?

You're one of the good ones, LC.
I know you've got a comp blowie put aside for me at the office from an earlier Harley Quinn cum-slut recommendation but chances are it'll just go stale in the drawer. Feel free to pass it on to another more needy soul with my compliments. I'll buck up properly when the time comes.
Hope your wrist is healed up and you're fully back on your game- looking forward to some hand-stand throatery one of these days.

Yes please! That would be very useful.

You could accumulate McDonald's coffee cards to keep track. Just write the gentleman's name on the back. Seven visits and get the eighth free? Now they have an app so you may have to hurry to get the cards.

I assume you are referring to a lady you've never visited before? The ladies I have seen numerous times and know me sometimes can't respond immediately and do respond sooner or later. This is fine with me, and the ladies that I know are aware they can text me anytime, but I know everyones situations are different.

As far as first contact, as it was brought up earlier, it is good practice for a lady not to contact if after an hour or so as she doesn't know the clients situation. I too subscribe to the 2 strike rule. As for the time frame between texts, it depends on your situation. Often times when I know I have a day off the next day I may contact a lady mid morning. If I don't get a reply by early evening, I may text again in hopes to book the next day. I do this because I understand the ladies have lives and aren't able to respond immediately. When they are able to respond, they may be inundated with a days worth of texts to sift through. My evening text might, and has, put me at the top of the pile. Of course cordial and respectful texts are my rule. Often times I receive a response the next morning so my day off wasn't a total loss.

I do stick to my 2 strike rule. If I receive no response after 2 texts or emails, I move on. She may have reservations about me for whatever her reason and this is her right. She may be unorganized and unprofessional, probably someone I don't want to spend time with anyway. Whatever her reason, I believe no response is a response and leave it at that.

This is me to a tee. My world is hella disorganized and I'm exceptionally unprofessional. I do try my bestest to make sure I catch 'em all (gotta), but I'm the only one running my texts and sometimes I'm in session, out of cell range, otherwise compromised and I miss messages from new clients. Also, I've learned recently to start sifting through my email spam box since a lot of new messages from alt accounts with key words relevant to this industry get flagged as spam and I never see them.

Also, to let you peek behind the curtain a bit, I've stopped announcing when I'm going out of town because I don't want every stranger with my home address to know when my place is going to be abandoned. I'd hate for someone to swipe my Nintendos while I'm out at Old Spaghetti Factory.
