Screening and references

YES
I screen
I'm catious and discreet
I WILL provide references if I've seen you.
I'm happy to.
I only ask that you contact me prior to giving me as a reference to let me know someone will be contacting me.
I think that it's the professional thing to do. I DO NOT get offended by this.
There is plenty of hobbying to go around.
Gentleman... Please talk to your provider before giving them as a verification refrence.
There are a few local ladies who have great reviews that 1.) get rude if we contact them for a reference or 2.) simply ignore the attempt.
I respect everyone , however if a gentleman has given me one of these providers as a reference, I will automatically tell them "she won't respond"

Please know I WILL do my best to accommodate. Provided you have let me know prior that you are giving my name to another lady. It doesn't hurt my feelings in the least.
Variety... The spice of life.

Screening is a providers best friend.....It not only ensures OUR safety but YOURS also...and enables the session to be safe/comfortable and more mind blowing!

~Cant we all just get a long?

I def agree with OP's 1 & 2...but I wanna add something else -"Reputable" provider's purposely giving bad ref's for their clients. It's BS & uncalled for! I let them know when I find out, so they know why the ref is no good. ...my .02

I'm been very fortunate ( knock on wood) and have never had a negative experince, as far as the gentleman I see. Just wondered. I too, would let the gentleman know if someone gave him a poor reference, but I haven't experienced that. YET.

Why would you not screen?

screening is a gal's best friend!!

{I have encountered great results from providers in this area when asking for references}

Katee, no need to be confused. We can convo in PM, etc... if u want full story & info... Yes, provider said he was a druggie, seen him once & didn't recommend seeing him. But that was month's after him & I had started havin lengthy convo's while he was tryin to not only match our schedules, he was tryin to get a reference so we'd both be comfy meeting-assuring better appt.... Everything I checked was good, except the reputable ref was that-he even had me send cpl pics to make sure she remembered the few sessions they had... So I went with my gut & glad I did
