I had a potential client hit me up recently, he was nice.. married but couldn't meet for a whole week or two weeks after our first contact I believe. I told him that we could reserve a date for in the future and for him to contact me closer to the time he was thinking of meeting. He proceeded to send me very descriptive messages about what he wanted to do and asking for my input. I know it comes with the territory but after a few years you start to notice when a guy is just chatting you up while jerking off and never intends to meet so I told him if he wanted to send an "incentive" for all this dirty texting then cool but if not he could just wait until a day or two before and just hit me up about details on the meeting. He chilled out and we in fact did NOT end up meeting. Its a slippery slope because both sides have been scammed before so how do you protect yourself as a provider.
Also was off putting to hear him say he could be a regular for me and we haven't met yet. I guess when a guy says that to me, it's a red flag.
