freestyleswimmer 100 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 I posted this in error on the Massage Forum. It was meant to be here. When initiating contact by email .......... ........... always ensure that both outgoing and incoming emails have been received, following up with telephone calls. Learn from my (not mistake, but) mishap. A few weeks ago, I contacted a soon-to-visit-Ottawa lady from Montreal, asking if she would be free on weekday x at 6pm (I finish work at 5pm) and where would she be staying (for the incall) and incidentally what her hourly rate was (her website ad didn't say). I never heard from her and thought that, OK, she did not like something about my email or my name (I did use my real email). (Att Lady. If you're reading this, you know who you are and who I am. Only the Mods here know my true identity. Let's keep it this way until my ashes are scattered over ....wherever.) Then imagine my surprise when I received on day x, late in the evening, an email from her wondering where I was, why I didn't show up for our 6pm rendez-vous. (I liked the fact that she sounded -in writing- more worried at my not showing up than ired at my having stood her up). I searched throughout my email client and could NOT find any trace of that email. I emailed her back -expressing my apologies for an error not my own- and opining that the only explanation that made sense to me (as a geek) was that, perhaps, my email provider (I use two: Google's gmail and another one) had deleted her email as SPAM since the Subject contained the string "escort". Her reply with a blank subject reached me without problem. I immediately phoned her and we laughed about this over the phone and made another rendez-vous. The moral of the story: Always make absoluterly certisure that your communication is 100% clear, received, ACKnowledged and understood. Good luck.

I do not know about Gmail but other internet mail sites have a junk folder where you can check what spam they might have removed. I have run into a similar situation before and I too was wondering if I had done or writen something wrong. Then I remembered previous treads when there has been comments about sps receiving tons of mail and sometime inadvertently skipping one. So I just sent another polite e-mail asking if my previous one had been received. I received an e-mail back not long after. Being polite works great in this business.

I do not know about Gmail but other internet mail sites have a junk folder where you can check what spam they might have removed. Gmail has a SPAM folder on-line (that doesn't get downloaded to my email client). I checked there, but no. I had inadvertently sent my email from my other ISP's persona and that one does not keep SPAM or Junk (that I know of). I am glad that the lady understood that such things can happen and was not mad at me. I have run into a similar situation..............

Treat them as the ladies that the greatest majority of them are and they'll (re-)act accordingly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
