Rating etiquette.

Quick question about rating etiquette.

I�m somewhat new to this site and I�ve loved it so far. Everyone�s been incredibly kind and friendly and I love the sense of community. I have a question about etiquette to make sure I�m doing everything right.

I saw a provider recently for the first time and it was a great experience. Lots of fun and definitely repeat worth, which I would have tonight if not for a scheduling conflict.

However, my question has to do with rating etiquette. After our time together, I asked her if she wouldn�t mind rating me as, I mentioned, I�m new and trying to grow my network etc. She assured me she would and we parted ways.

I rated her as soon as I was able to. I�ve asked her twice more for a rati we ng, only to be met with crickets. She did respond to my text earlier today saying she�d be available tonight but I�ve gotten no response in my request for a rating and I don�t feel like I should ask again.

I do, however want to make sure I�m doing things right and not stepping on any toes . Is it typical to rate someone after meeting them one time? That�s how my other ratings went, but I wanted to make sure that that was typical and it wasn�t expected to meet someone a couple times first before requesting a rating.

It is difficult to build a network, but I see a value in it and I appreciate the mechanisms that this community employees to keep its members safe. Just wanna make sure I�m doing things right.

Thank you.

A major difficulty when first starting out is building a network. If a girl doesn't rate me back it doesn't bother me because I have a solid network. However, after a few weeks I remove her from my network. New members don't have that luxury. Every rating important.

An additional issue is rating girls who don't rate you back could make it look like you're padding your network with girls you haven't really visited, even if they're legitimate ratings.

I think since you enjoyed your time with that provider you might pm her and tell her you wanted to see her again, but you need to see girls who will add you to their network. That may do the trick She may realize it's more important to add you to her network and see you again. If it doesn't you might considering removing her from your network and spend the time and money on another girl.

As part of your research you could look at the girl's network and see whom she has added, and if it looks like she's consistent in adding guys to her network that would be another reason to pursue her.

But you're not being pushy and demanding a rating, and you can't control what she does, so maybe follow the advice in this blog and you will continue having a great time on HX as you build your network!

Looks like Gemma_sky does not rate back much. She has 38 ratings and has only issued 11 ratings for a 29% rate back.

Move on and next time, compare ratings issued to ratings received.

Also ask that they provide the 2-minute version of a rating. I believe it carries more weight.

Never thought about it before but it could indicate that they are way more interested in just getting the $$$ instead of building a respectable network (exercise caution there). Too bad we can't see a quick ratio of given vs. received.

Also shows a lack of empathy in my opinion.
