Dara, I wrote a long response then deleted it (most people don't like long posts)
So here's the condensed version.
Assuming all is as stated (I'm not questioning, just don't have actual evidence, and not asking for it) — you were right, he was wrong.
Now, a question, I understand the "no money/sex talk" but at the same time, if questions are not asked (or at least answered somewhere to my satisfaction and personal comfort level) then I'm just going to pass.
For example, you have very little in regard to a showcase (pics). Please note, I'm not criticizing, just making an observation. That is 100% your choice and I will defend you to the end on that. From my side of the fence, the less I know, the less likely I'm going to make that first contact. Your showcase has two pics, stats, times available (good general info) and the following statement: "Menu items can be seen on my showcase which I have provided for you on the link below.
http://www.eccie.net/providers.php?do=view&id=92860 " but there is no menu to be found.
So, where is the happy medium for all parties interested?
How do we respect you and your comfort level as a provider and get important information for us answered without crossing the invisible line?
Yes I can research reviews, and I do, as everyone should.
Is there a point where it's okay to ask pointed questions without setting off all kinds of alarms in your head? <----that's not a sarcastic statement, rather very realistic I would imagine.
BTW, classy of you to go the extra mile to still see him. OP, I personally feel you owe her something for wasting her time. Something with nothing expected in return. I feel it works both ways.
