Luckily there are very few ladies in Montreal that will ask for a deposit.
The ones I see are repeats mostly, and I can give references if needed, with the occasional new lady that for some reason I can’t resist.
it is not that I mind a deposit it just becomes bothersome, besides if I cancel with less than 24 hours I will pay them the whole amount for that booking , either at our next meeting or anytime that we are both free for a coffee their choice.
My word is worth more than one booking, it is not going to put me in a different tax bracket.
I don’t play games with these ladies their time is just as valuable as mine.
