Question for the ladies

I was wondering, my cell phone number looks like a burner number but it's my actual phone number. Having visited only massage places for the past 2-3 years. Would it help building a trust connection between us if I provided some sort of ID ?

Your phone number cant look like a burner’s. Lol . Theres applications who tell us if its a burner or not based on the company that provides you your service of connection . So either you are using a burner for personal reasons . Or using a sketchy company no one knows about . In any case, you should never provide IDs. Unless you trust the SP with such info

Lots of app numbers start with numbers like 700 or 800 or 555 or... or they end with 8000, 3333, that kind of thing, basically numbers that look too regular/repetitive to be a phone number hahah so maybe that's what he means

Another option is giving them your merb handle. Many Indy's will accept board handles so they can see what kind of conversations youve been in involved in and whether or not they feel you are a good fit.
Some indy's will skip "verification process" altogehter if you just format your text in a way that looks polite and serious

"Hi X Provider
I saw you ad on ___ and it interested me. I was wondering when your next availability for a Xhr rdv is, and where you are located. I have already looked at your site/ad/whatever and know your rates but please verify that a Xhr call is X amount so I can bring you everything you need - My super sexy but believable name"

Man if the text/email messages I got looked like that you could get a same day call no problem.

I had a problem with an agency once because they thought I was using a burner phone. It was an iPhone with a NY area code provided by Verizon. 100% legit phone and number. Not sure why it happened, but it did. Maybe the phone number used to be a burner number. Strange thing was I only had a problem with one agency. The way around it was using my MERB handle.

That's exactly what I meant. It looks like a pizza place number. When I change phone numbers there were no 514 number available, so I had to buy one. There is absolutely no way I end up with a 438 number

That sucks!
But you can sign up to Truecaller and tell your escort about it. The site will verify your number with your cell phone company. There used to be an American dating site called Verify Him. But it disappeared after Backpage closed. I’ve found Truecaller is useful.

And I totally agree with Eda! The brief respectful intro messages go a long way. “Hi” with nothing else in the message makes it look like he wants me to do all the work and I have to ask him questions to try to get a feel for him and what he needs.
Most often “Hi, U avail” is someone who ends up not serious about booking at all.

 

[TheKrusty]

Thanks for the info Eda.

 

[Valcazar]

Vicky, I had never heard of Truecaller before. That looks really useful. Thanks!

Yep! I used to wrote PMs to introduce myself and finally met "shinning star" here on merb to not say in this thread!
