I don't like to be invasive or make a gentleman feel uncomfortable, but I do prefer to know a little about you as well as having a brief phone convo before setting an appt. I ask for at least one provider reference - it doesn't have to be local - and more if available to insure I get a response in a timely manner. PrIeferred411, RoomService2000, and Date-Check are all services I subscribe to as well so include your ID in your Contact request. If you're new to the game, a call to a main switchboard where I can ask for you & be transferred will do fine.
From my perspective, I have over 70 people who have vouched for my reputation via review. I've never been a rip-off artist, con, upseller or flake so I'm a pretty safe bet. If you're unwilling to provide even basic information about yourself, we're probably not going to meet. I do have a family to protect and although I love people, I have to earn a living. My safety is just as important as yours and I assure you, I completely understand discretion.
