A little bit of honesty here in how I choose to run my business. Please notice how I say “how I choose”. I am not going to say this is the norm, that all ladies in the industry choose to do business as I do. But for me, who I am and what I am comfortable with it can only work the way I do things. So, to set the record straight and not leave any room for surprises, here are a few “Please do and please don’ts”.
1) Do email to say “Hi”. Introduce yourself, say how you found my name. Tell me why you would like to see me, or comment on if we have met before. Anything, just be casual and respectful.
2) Don’t let your first email correspondence with me (or any correspondence for that matter) be vulgar and request intimate service details. I can tell you right now I will not respond. And when I don’t respond, I hope you are angered. You tainted my day, I hope to taint yours.
3) Do call when you have your hotel and room info. If I do not answer, which I can almost guarantee I won’t, please leave a voice mail. Don’t be afraid of the beep! Some say they will not get a room unless I answer my phone as they are afraid of getting stood up. Then I say, please don’t see me because I cannot guarantee to answer my phone so why waste my time or yours? How is it you can trust me enough to see me but not enough to show up when I say I will be there? I have worked hard for my good reputation in this business. I sure didn’t get it by not showing up!
4) Don’t expect me to chat about sex prior to meeting you, or after for that matter. Yes, I enjoy sex. But it is not my life and does not impress me at all that it seems it is all you can relate to me with. I don’t answer my phone for this very reason. I have no will to sit and chat about the things we will do together when we get together. If you have a certain request or an honest question then email it to me and please do so respectfully. I have no problem with that but there is a certain way to handle these things, me listening to you breathing heavily into the phone as you get yourself off is not my thing. Leave that part to me…when we meet.
5) Do your research. I have utilized every avenue possible to make it clear of what an experience with me may be like. I have my website, my blog, 4 review boards and 2 emails. The information is out there for you to use to decide if you think you may enjoy spending time with me or not. I am bluntly honest about my description and my boundaries. Take a little time to find these things out so you are not let down when I show up without the whips and chains.
6) Don’t expect me to do coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner or walks in the park with you prior to or after meeting. My time is very limited. I justify my time away from my family and home duties by getting paid for that time. I have a full time job outside of escorting, 4 children at home and one with a disability. My life is busy and demanding. I do not have room in my life for dating nor do I have the want in my life to date. Please do not be offended when I turn these requests down, I don’t have time to do these things with friends in my personal life let alone Belle’s life.
7) Do call to set up an appointment if you have no access to email and it is a last resort. But please be specific and understand that discretion is very important to me. So if you do not leave a time to call you back, a number to call you at, your name and specify exactly what it is you are looking for I will not return your call. I will not return a call if I do not know who to ask for. I will not return a call (even if the number is on my display screen) unless you give me express permission to do so. A simple “Hi, Belle, call me” will not do. Tell me what day and time your were hoping to see me. I will not discuss services whatsoever. I will simply discuss my schedule briefly. And as my voicemail states, it may take awhile to get back to you. I may have appointments throughout the day or family obligations. My cell is strictly for business. When I am unable to take business calls my phone is off and usually sitting on my desk at home which can sometimes be most of the day.
8) Don’t expect me to take same day appointments. This is seldom possible for me. I do not sit around my house waiting for business to come in. I get many emails asking me if I am available on Friday for example. I respond with a yes and the times I am available. The gents says he is thinking about 2 pm but will let me know. Then Friday comes, he calls me at 1 to say he has a room. He is then upset with me because I told him I was available but did not answer my phone at 1. Please keep in mind, if you inquire about a day and time and I respond that I am available, that means that at the time I responded I was available. That does not mean that 2 days later that time is still available. I do not put times aside because someone has inquired about them. I will post a note in my calendar for that time but if I get a concrete booking and have not heard back from you I will take the latter. Come the day prior, if you and I have not confirmed the appointment, I will assume there is no appointment.
9) Do know that I love what I do. I have a lot of fun and so can you if you just please respect my wishes. While neither of us cares to look at this as a financial arrangement, a cold business transaction the reality is that it is business. If we can get this stuff out of the way and have a mutual understanding prior to meeting, it will make our time together less awkward and much more enjoyable for the both of us.
10) Don’t be offended by what I have written. I hope that by saying here the things that need to be said it will avoid awkward one on one moments for both of us. Please understand that I do my best to be relaxed going into an appointment. It is very hard for me to do that when you answer the door and start drilling me about what I will and will not do, my rates, or mention having coffee after. It is putting me in a very awkward position. I don’t like to have to say, “Sorry Hun but I have another appointment after this one”, or “Sorry, but my kids have soccer practice” or simply “Sorry, but I’ve had a real crappy day and just want a Timmies and a smoke” ….any more than you would like to hear it.
As of late, these issues are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. I know my blog is a big part of why this is such an issue. I have opened myself up to all of you in a way that most ladies in the industry do not. I do that, in the form of a blog because that is the only way I am comfortable doing so. I need to share with you the things that I do. I love opening up for discussion the many facets of this business, of life in general, that many want to talk about. But that part of me is separate from my business. I take time out of my personal life to discuss these things but I have to keep that side of me separate from the business side of me. I hope you can appreciate and respect where I am coming from.
