Trust Your Instincts

This is my first blog, and unfortunately I have to talk about an incident that happened two nights ago when I first received a text from an unknown number. The message I received was "Hey so u give massages?" to which I replied "Yes...who is this?"
"I'm dan. What do u charge Hun?"
Okay, let me stop right here. Who calls someone they have never even met, Hun?? (First clue).
Conversation continues:
Me: $65;
Dan: "Cool. So tell me about your massage and types u do?"
At this point, I'm still trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Me: Who referred you?
Dan: "Internet"
I'm trying to determine where this guy is calling from, since the number is from the Fort Wayne area.
Me: "You up north?"
Dan: "By Castleton area."
Me: "I do basic Swedish and therapeutic."
Dan: "Ok I would like a softer massage FULL body."
(The emphasis on "FULL" raised another red flag.)
Me: "U might want to go someplace like felipe's."
Dan: "What's that?"
Me: "A spa in Castleton."
Dan: "They good? Why not come to u?"
(Trying to think of an excuse to ditch this guy.)
Me: "My massages might be too deep for you...they have several therapists there to choose from."
Dan: "I'd like to try u."
Me: "Ok...when? Want to make sure u understand my massages are strictly NON SEXUAL."
Dan: "I understand the other place do handjobs? Lol"
(I'm not LOL-ing!)
Me: "Uh.....no... :("
Dan: "Why sad face babe"
(Dan, you don't even know me and don't have the right to call me "babe." EWWW!)
Me: "Ok, I'm not comfortable with this conversation."
Dan: "I'm not sure what I said wrong. Sorry. Have a good night sorry I bothered u."
To all the "Dans" of the world listen up! If you want to hire a prostitute, call it like it is. You're the people that give legitimate massage therapists a bad rep.
Most of us are trying to run a practice that enables clients to de-stress, relax and be nurtured in a safe, loving environment. If not, then it's PROSTITUTION people!
