It doesn't really matter how far in advance, the important part is to not cancel, and be there for when the appointment is set for. Only set the appointment up if you know for sure you will be able to make it. Otherwise you will be concidered a time waister, and may not get another chance with the lady your looking to meet.If you're trying to secure an appointment in advance, how far out should you contact an indy? 1 day in advance? 1 week in advance?

I would add to my colleagues' comments that as long as you have a date, time, duration and location in mind, you can reach out when you want. Don't reach out to say "I'm coming sometime in July but I don't know yet, I have no plans yet, so eventually I will write to you again to plan something." With a plan in mind, a provider should accept your booking if she's available or will give you her preferences. I try to not book beyond a month in advance, but when I see a serious invitation that includes all the details I need, I tend to accept it.If you're trying to secure an appointment in advance, how far out should you contact an indy? 1 day in advance? 1 week in advance?
Some of us have to rent incall spaces that may already be fully booked by other providers so I recommend you try to book as early as possible depending on how the person can accommodate you.. personally since april I have access to 2 incall spaces and they are often fully booked and when I get last minute requests I have to receive somewhere else and depending on the client they may enjoy this experience or not.If you're trying to secure an appointment in advance, how far out should you contact an indy? 1 day in advance? 1 week in advance?
For real I like when I get booked a few weeks ahead of time but vague plans are a red flag for me..I would add to my colleagues' comments that as long as you have a date, time, duration and location in mind, you can reach out when you want.

I have sent a photo of me holding my ID before. Question: what do you do with it? Is it just about seeing the person is real? Do you run some sort of security check? Do you discard it after?
I always dispose of them because there's no reason for me to keep people's IDs. Someone could send a fake ID so that's why a lot of providers ask for a photo with the ID. There's no way to run a security check on someone fully unless the person has been arrested before for a violent crime and that info is available on the internet. If that's not your case, you should not worry.I have sent a photo of me holding my ID before. Question: what do you do with it? Is it just about seeing the person is real?

I know this is old, but the phrase "hi, how are you?" got my attention. I hate that insincere fake line. If I get a call like that, I usually respond, "I am not interested," since it is always a sales call from a number I don't recognize. This phase just sounds dumb to me since they really have no interest in it.Oh I get what you mean.. but have found 'hi. how are you' to be the kinder ones..

As you say, if the response is "and you?" It is a double waste of time. I am kind of a fast-talking, to-the-point businessperson as well as nerdy. I like to be friendly and polite but not waste time on nonsense, meaningless banter. I will often make jokes that are different from other small talk but have some meaning, more than just the phrases we both don't like.Exactly how I see it. You don’t care how I’m doing and if you do, I guess you can ask again when we see each other in person.
It’s one of those polite phrases that means nothing. How many time has someone you don’t know answered “thank you for asking, I’m actually on the verge of a mental breakdown” everyone always answers “I’m good and you?”
It's better to say ''Hi, how are you?'' than ''Hi babe wanna meet'' or something along those lines, but it's always better to send an intro with a name, age, a bit about yourself etc. A lot of time is wasted when people don't put a lot of effort into their inquiries and type strangely and don't say what they want clearly. I understand that not everyone is the best at texting tho.I know this is old, but the phrase "hi, how are you?" got my attention. I hate that insincere fake line.

I would say, "Hi, I am Dave and wondering....." rather than a false, silly "How Are You."
Nerdy Dave that likes to mean what I say.
