Is the Art of Pre-Booking Dying Fast ??

Genius.

I have prebooked in the past and have been burned if the provider is visiting...weird huh. If I go to her town (on business or whatever)...I pre book and it works well. If a provider announces that she is coming to my city and would like to pre book, it fails 9 out of 10 times.

Although I like to be prepared for the unexpected, speaking things in existence based off a just in case perspective can hinder a hobby experience as a whole more than help. Likely the provider is there in the city for 2-3 days unless announced. Thats 72 hours one can fit in a session. Look towards the bright side - not everything in life happens wrong . A simple pre-book is no contract. I repeat, I will not come after your first born if you cancel [in advance].

Good thread

I have a pretty flexible schedule which allows me to prebook with visiting and local providers. I rarely do same day appointments unless it's with someone I've seen before.

I don't mind pre-booking but 4 out of 5 time a travelling provider will cancel without any warning. Even when they do let you know it's only a few hours before you were suppose to meet. Even if they announce their trip a couple weeks ahead of time, if they even bother to mention they have cancelled the trip, which most don't, it will be the day of generally 2 to 4 hours before you were supposed to meet.
More than once I've contacted a provider the day of our appointment thinking we are still on and looking for directions to here location, only to find out she didn't even make the trip. Then being told she cancelled because I was the only one who booked. So was it that overwhelming a task extend the courtesy to contact one whole person at let them know your new plans? If you don't have enough pre-books it couldn't take more than 5 minutes of your day to let the one or two who did schedule that you are cancelling.
Given how often this happens pre-booking more than a couple of days out seem pointless since this is when the decision to come or not is actually made. Any soon you won't find out until the last minute if the meeting will happen or not.

Im seeing a pattern here ; for those that dont pre-book don't often do so on account of a providers lack of TCB/Courtesy skills. One single poor TCB mistake apparently leaves a lasting impression when it comes to PB. With better TCB skills we can keep these great pre-booking hobbyist from the dark side! This is a team effort - not just a handful of providers. Thanks for posting hun.

But not for the reason given for the NO, yet that is what I voted.
I'm more into spontaneous
And have found a way to meet provider on this board that works for me without ever per-booking.
Granted most of the time we only meet.
But many times it was more fun than bcd's for me.

nope, not at all for me not a problem

I don't pre-book per se as I don't want a lady to count on me. My schedule could change on a dime. However, I will make pre-trip contact with a lady. I'll let her know of my interest and give her a time frame when I hope to be free. I don't book but let her know I could be available at that time. I always ask how much notice she will need if I am free. Kinda consider this a soft pre-book as we both know the situation.

[gimme_that]

If she's local....I see no need.

If a lady is traveling to me.....the days of her tour are directly proportional to when I will book.

If she's traveling for three days or more.......I either want to book her for an overnight the first night she arrives or the second night......past that.....her shelf life has passed and she is less tempting to me. Ill figure she is either too tuckered out for a spirited PSE session with me.......or she will be burning rubber which will make daty less of a pleasure. Probably tired too.

I basically wants her at her best. I think past three days attitude and performance changes.

I think prebooking only works best when their is financial incentive for guys to do it. 50 dollars or more per hour or something......Besides we are the ones assumming risk and putting our repertations on the line to keep the date, and if we need to cancel do it far in advance. There should be some incentive for it.......but too often the people who wait to call until the last minute get the same deal......so no incentive. Other than making sure we are personally accommodated for our own time slot.

This is more how I handle when I travel.

For ladies that travel to my are , I am less likely to pre book unless I have seen them before -and-I know my schedule is pretty tight.

I get it that there is a need to know if there is interest.

I have also PM'd ladies that I'd like to meet and expressed interest in seining them if our paths cross in a mutual locatn.

Trust me I've been burned on the pre book as much as any, I just cross those off and move on...

Btw , by "burned" I'm talking NCNS, and no contact after... We all have things that happen and I allow for the stuf that happens...

So maybe for the purposes of gauging the economics of a trip, maybe requesting interest level even if the client may not pre book? Not sure but seems like it might help open the communication....

Good thread , thanks!

Ladies if you hit it off with a client let him know and ask if you can keep in touch if you will be coming back. I always try to keep in touch with a lady I have had a good experience with. I answer to no one so I come and go as I damn well please. I enjoy dinner after BCD with the lady so I always ask her to find a convenient time when we can go out after we are through. I have no intention in cutting into her available time with other guys but if she can arrange it dinner is a plus for both of us.

Great Reminder! I use to do this back in the day...gunna start again ♡

[trey mcdougle]

well in NYC we get a lot of visiting providers so if I don't pre-book it seems like they run out of openings .. plus I don't like to be sloppy 2nds so I want to be the first person they see that day

[Satyrrical]

I prefer to pre-book up to a week in advance. I often receive attitude from ASPs who say I should just contact the day before.

[ESwho'snext?]

I work out of the country and have time when I am home to see whoever I like. With that said I enjoy seeing a lady in the daytime and will prebook as far as possible for me. However if a lady is traveling to my area and says she will check in on Sun & out on Mon. I won't waste my time even to try to see her. IMHO you get out what you put in. If you want guys to visit you on tour spend more time in that areas forum. More than just a "hey I will be in ??? area in two weeks so PM me". Just my 2cents
