I have a polite question. What should be best practices for using someone as a reference? I ask because 5 or 10 years ago I was very active and I could easily get refer new SP's to SP's that new me well. My situation has changed, and many of my old regulars are out of the business or I have not seen forever. My more recent experience are with women I've been with once or twice. Generally speaking, I text a heads up "hey, this is powpow, I'm the [insert descriptors of myself/encounter/last time I saw you]. I hope you're doing well. I have a favour to ask as i need a reference to see this person and you happen to be one of the more recent folks I had a positive experience with. Can I mention you?".
Is that the right approach?
Yes, that is exactly the right approach, always ask a provider if you can use her as a reference before giving out her name.
When I ask for a reference I always worry that my reference might get jealous. So far, it hasn’t been a problem.
But I have had other SP’s get jealous that I wasn’t seeing them anymore. Yes I suspect most of it was because they’re not getting the money I used to spend on them.
Yes I love my regulars and there’s something so comforting in the familiarity of warm cuddles, but there’s also so much new talent to experience. New, exciting and enthusiastic, I just can’t resist.
