1. Where is the line for you?
Is it a number of PMs without a visit?
An amount of time?
Or something else?
2. How do you handle someone crossing Your line?
Do you simply ignore any future PMs?
Do you send them a message:”Please PM when ready to book.”
Do you simply Block them from sending any PMs?
I’m curious to hear any thoughts.

1. The line is when the convo goes in circles for days with no intent to book. I don’t mind chatting, but I’m not here for endless pen pals.
2. I’ll politely say “PM when ready to book 😊” if it keeps up, I stop responding. Respect goes both ways.

Post the time wasters on the bad guy list. I post them out on the boards. It helps all future models. I have noticed less time wasting tho since social provider boards allow this.

After 3x of them trying to get off on free texts and pics I tell them read rebiews, do your research on YOUR TIME, AND THEEEEN CONTACT OR YOU WILL BE BLACKLISTED. It usually handles it real quick.

Having respect for a provider's time is hella sexy@
Having a great conversation is also really nice.
I get it can ease nerves a bit...but let's not get carried away.
If you're lonely and looking just to chat, or virtual visits, I offer that as well as many other providers
But constantly PMing or texting with no intentions of booking is not cool.
Asking over and over for specials, not cool..
And sending the same canned message is annoying.
Use your notes, keep the info we send you. That's what it's there for.
If you have questions, ask... but be respectful of your time.
If you need to save up, save up.
If your are just window shopping... keep it at that and reach out when you are ready.

Thank you for your insightful comments. I have seen and read about some of the above scenarios.
Let's say:
Trickey Dickey is interested in meeting Juicy Lucy and inquires about her availability.
He gets a reply 4 hours later: "Special today, Coffee with Cream and Sugar."
Perfect, exactly what Dickey's looking for, but he got called in for an emergency at work an hour ago. Bad timing.
He replies, "Something came up. I'll try next time."
Lucy replies, "Ok, thanks."
Six months later:
Dickey sees that Lucy is in the area and refers to his notes. He only sees the "Special" info Lucy sent him six months ago.
Dickey sends another PM inquiring about her availability and current info. He also asks if she can wear heels when he visits.
Lucy remembers Dickey and replies with a cut and paste of her current info. Lucy is a little annoyed because Dickey did not follow through last time and does not address his request about the heels.
Dickey decides to hold off on meeting Lucy for now and updates his notes.
Does Dickey move on? Are there too many red flags to ignore? Is waiting 4 hours for a reply an indication of poor time management? Is his ignored request a lack of attention to details?
Or does Dickey try again and send another PM?
Does Lucy Move on? Is Dickey a potential Flake since he didn't follow through after two inquiries? Or is he just a timewaster who is fishing for something?
Or does Lucy reach out to Dickey (since her current ad has no response) offering that Special Coffee with Cream and Sugar that initially got his attention?
I'm sure there are many variations, and the exchange could go on and on. I think there are Red Flags for both Dickey and Lucy here. There is a lot of information that can be gained from PM exchanges.
Some thoughts:
Window shoppers can be cheap and are definitely labor intensive.
Window shoppers do eventually buy things too!
Some businesses ostracize window shoppers by banning them or making them feel that they are an unwelcome waste of time.
Some businesses even offer free samples to entice window shoppers or random passers-by, which often leads to a sale and potentially repeat customers.
Customers can choose who they do business with and where they choose to spend their money.
.
Every business can choose how they operate and who they do business with; some will be successful, and others will not.
Everybody has a different perspective, and all deserve respect.
