My advice to you is to. . .
[QUOTE=RealSteel;3417808]So like I have stated before I'm kinda new to the mongering scene and have some questions maybe some of the vets can answer. I cruise backpage at night 9 p-12 a ish and when I see an ad I'm interested in I'll send a text. Rarely do I get responses and when I do they are normally 30-45 minutes afterwards and then won't respond back after I immediately send a response. So I guess my question is what is the preferred method of contacting the poster? If the ad says text or call and texts don't get a response do you then call? Do you guys prefer a text or a call as an initial means of contact?[/QUOTE]Stay off backpage! Unless you know or can vet the provider through this board or other resources. If you are able to do that, then do whatever the ad asks you to do. I will say this, unless I know them really well, I will not go visit a provider without first talking to them on the phone. Hell you could be texting anyone, including LEO. JMTC. .
