CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 So most people are busy, we all have our day to day routines, work schedules, kids, pets, me time, ect, allotted times for this or that. So when you get pm's, emails, texts, voice mails, not referring to sp/client appts, but any others. Do you respond asap, within a certain period of time, to all, only few..... I respond to all my pm's and any other correspondence, so long as they are polite and not silly-rudely silly I mean. I think its only polite to do so. If someone takes the time to reach out to me I thinks its only polite to respond. What's your opinion? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meaghan McLeod 179664 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Yes, I reply to PMs, emails, voicemails asap. However, text messages, and missed calls, if it is much later, I might not reply as I am not sure if it is ok to reply. Of course, the obvious idiots "can I fuck your ass" will never get a reply. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IsaMassage 54318 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 When it comes to communication replying to emails, pms, texts, being personal or business related, i try to be on top of it! I try to reply ASAP! Sometimes i exagerate and work emails and messages in general interrupt my personal life.., but i am slowly learning to maybe slow down a little, specially during the weekends..., :-) And yes there is some ppl that will never get an answer being the unpolite, and rude messages.... I just press delete! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest B**na***oy Report post Posted July 3, 2013 I'm always excited to receive a PM on CERB and I always respond promptly. However, when I contact a lady by PM, I will be careful not to abuse of her time by having lengthy correspondences if we have no chance of meeting. For instance, there is a group of very nice ladies in the Halifax area that I befriended. Although it's unlikely we will ever meet, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to chat with them on a few topics of mutual interest, but I will keep it brief. However, for the ladies that I intend to meet, I will have more extended correspondence as this is part of the process to better get acquainted. I will also take the opportunity, within reason of course, to elaborate on more intimate issues, but always for the purpose of enhancing the time we will spend together. Unless it's for the purpose of coordinating a meeting that will happen in the near future, I never expect a prompt response. I understand that everyone is busy running their lives and daily activities, and that can be complicated sometimes. For me this is a hobby to which I participate on my spare time. For the ladies, it's their livelihood; and I respect that very much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest M****ella's C****s (retire Report post Posted July 3, 2013 I will admit I am the worst for this. The absolute worse...a mixture of forgetfulness, and asserting down time are to blame I think. I'm going to sound like a total bitch here and I do apologise in advance if I do. Some times I just don't reply right away because my work hat is off...I put my schedule up every day or every other day and my hours for the week are listed. Odds are if someone emails or pms on my days off they wont get a speedy reply. Heck even when people text I usually ignore it. It's not that I don't care or don't appreciate that they have taken time to do so, or that I wont see them. It's just that it's not fair to the other people in my life who want to spend time with me. That's really what it comes down to. I am a notorious people pleaser, and I have to set boundaries to keep my sanity and make the people in my personal life happy too. And well Lastly, but most importantly; I need my sanity time...I need to be a selfish asshole and take time for myself. I spend my time pampering others all damn day, why not myself! I work hard, play hard, and by golly relax hard. And I don't feel ashamed, or bad about it and I certainly don't worry what the person will think of me.... Bottom line is this, I'm the lady they have fun with yes we enjoy our time together there is a friendship and genuine feelings and connection as that is what happens over time. but I'm still the excitement on the side. I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate me calling/texting them in the middle of dinner with their wives and family around the table. Well same thing goes for me, when I'm with my friends, family, and loved ones on my personal time it's my personal time...As for emails or pm I don't answer on my down time...i will answer it the following day or at another time. When my phone is working I say please text/call...So generally it will take me a bit of time to respond via email/pm. Most men are very understanding and reasonable about it especially when I explain it to them in that manner...it's all about respect...and well taking that time is an outwardly sing of how much I respect myself and what I need...Nothing wrong with that...Gotta love yourself too! But thats just me...plus I am forgetful...hehe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 3, 2013 I have a certain way of doing things. So I dedicated a blog to contacting me: Tips about contacting Peachy/Val (me). I do not answer my phone when I'm busy A.K.A. with a client, fully booked and after 3:30pm. I do however try to answer my email/pm's in between doing stuff for example going to the gym, cooking ect, ect. So I'm usually always available via email/pm's. If I don't get back to you that day, I will the next day for sure. Balance is the key to happiness. I'm going to be trying out a mailing list and I'm hoping that this will help things along too. Also here's something I posted on another thread and I think it rings true for this thread too. A great way to get a last minute appointment and get a chance to talk to an escort on the phone is to look at the adds posted for that day. Call the ladies number and you may find out that, that lady is available. I know a lot of ladies have a mixture of pre-booked appointments, along with last minute appointments. I would be very confident that when a lady is doing last minute appointments, you will see an add posted. It is also important to read the add and or website too because every escort is different in her business style. This is just a helpful pointer. It's also important to know that with last minute appointments the first that come are the first that get served and sometimes a ladies time gets booked fast that way too.

mrgreen760 37785 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Manners is a pet peeve of mine so I make one contact (always friendly and polite) and if no response is forthcoming in a reasonable time I simply move on. No one is that special and it makes no sense to me to chase one's own tail... as it were. Peace MG 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Manners is a pet peeve of mine so I make one contact (always friendly and polite) and if no response is forthcoming in a reasonable time I simply move on. No one is that special and it makes no sense to me to chase one's own tail... as it were. Peace MG I feel the same way as you. Being an escort if I don't get the call/text right away because I was busy A.K.A. being with another client.(because you guys wouldn't want us answering our phone in the middle of a session?) I'm not sure if it's a good time to call you back, I'm not sure if you are with your so or not, so I just don't call or text you back. I really can't chase you guys around because I may really get someone in big trouble. So I just say email/pm me if you want me to get back to you. It's easy and no so's are asking the who's that question. So to answer Cristy's question I answer emails/pm's A.S.A.P. throughout the day and I answer my phone and reply to texts when I can/when I'm on my working hours. Also if I'm fully booked for the day, it's easier to not answer the phone.(saves me minutes and time) I can easily book appointments for the next day(s) over email/pm and I can go out and enjoy the beautiful day.

CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 As I said in the op, I wasn't speaking about client/sp bookings more about example: Someone pm's you to ask you a question, or just to wish you a nice day, ect, ect, isn't it just courteous to respond. I don't believe in the I'm to busy excuse as I know many who have the busiest lives and they take moments here and there to respond to pm's, emails, ect. As do I. There are days my inbox is flooded, other days I may get 6 or 7 emails, no matter how many I get I respond to all those that are polite. But as Mr.Green said, its pointless to chase anyone or to expect everyone to be polite I suppose, nor should I expect anyone to do something just because I do:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Thank you Cristy for posting this. I may have sidetracked things about booking appointments/answering the phone because some clients think you are being rude to them by not answering the phone right away/ not being able to see them right away. When in reality you have legitimate reasons to why you can't. I often have to explain to clients why I do things my way, hence the reason for the blog. Plus all parts of the way I socialize with clients/other escorts and or book appointments are connected together, for me anyways. I'm sorry if I have hijacked your thread a little bit. I agree with you about answering emails/pms A.S.A.P. it not only shows respect to the person who sent you the email/pm, it keeps things organized too, teehee. It is easier to only have expectations for yourself because that's the only person you can control.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jafo105 39057 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 I always answer text messages promptly. But I so rarely get them. So I consider all to be important. I also answer the phone promptly and return all messages with in a short period of time. I also take advantage of call display and answer using the callers name. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toklat77 4616 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 I answer all of my emails and pm's as soon as I can unless I away and don't have access to them. I love to answer my pm's especially if they are from gorgeous ladies such as Christy or Vitto! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webothscore Report post Posted July 4, 2013 I find multitasking is critical in today's age. Even if ridiculously busy, there are times when you can multitask and respond to a very large number of emails, texts, messages same day. Most days anyway. It does take patience indeed but people recognize it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad 49548 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 I'm probably too young to think this curmudgeonly, but the idea that a person should always be available for an immediate response saddens me. I don't tend to text that much in part because I don't want the expectation that as soon as I get an alert I'll have to stop whatever (or whoever) I'm doing to answer it. It seems addictive. Have you ever seen how quickly a movie theatre lights up from phones once the credits roll; as if a couple hours unconnected to the rest of the world has put people into withdrawal! If the Breakfast Club came out today, it would be a movie about a group of people sitting in a room looking at their phones. Anyway, to get back to the original questions, this is all to say I don't think anyone should mine if it's a day or two getting back to general pm's. And while I agree it's considerate of an SP to answer all notes, I would hope most people would appreciate how many messages she gets and how busy people are. So even if the response to such general messages is just a quick "thanks!" or "you too" as an acknowledgement, perhaps with a smily or "xoxo" thrown in for good measure, that should really be sufficient. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The time frame in which someone responds to me isn't so important as I do realize people have other things to do but the fact that they give a response, that is what I consider polite, the acknowledgment. Any messages, all types, texts, emails, pm's voice mails, so long as they are polite and make sense, get a response from me, sometimes not right away, with discretion in mind, if the response is to a client, I use the hour rule, but at least I respond. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fresh start 17467 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 I have to admit I often send pm/wall messages just to thank them or to send positivity their way or the occasional laugh. Usually short and sweet, its always nice to be reminded that someone thinking of you or a good laugh. I know I love random positive pm, for me its often a reminder of the good and kindness in people not to mention it make me feel special. I understand people get busy and unless its a question which rarely is, I don't expect a response. It's always nice and welcomed but not required. I will admit when I first came to cerb I looked at it a little different. I would assume that no reply meant I was be ignored at took it too close to heart. I've come to realize that not everyone spends as much time as I do on here, they have lives and some set time aside for this. I also had to consider the ratio of pm one must get. I mean more men than woman on the board I'm sure the woman get far more than the men. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
