Good morning one and all!

I recently have decided to reach out to some SW and try to find the best fit for me. I believe I may have made some initial mistakes in doing so, though (first time for everything!), as it is my first time.

Would anybody with experience in this field (either as a client or as an escort) be willing to answer a few questions for me?

DMs are fine too. THANK YOU ALL so much in advance!

TL;DR: 1. Are ladies known to have more than one account or profile? 2. Quick messaging - fact or fiction? 3. Lowering price or standard is bad, right? 4. Should the escort message me? 5. Can I "ghost" an SW?

Preface: I found these SW on an aggregate search engine, and found most (95%) of them directing over to Snapchat for contact. I've done some research and ruled out obvious fake profiles. Also, any ladies not willing to be discreet or professional I disengaged discussions. So far so good.

1. However, some ladies seem to have accounts with the same pics but different names. Red flag, right? Well, I checked one of them (as she's the one I'm most drawn to) and she said it's normal to have different accounts like this. Is she lying?

2. Most of these ladies message me within SECONDS of friending them on Snap, and have exceedingly quick answers to questions. Some even have almost (or literal) exact answers. Is this good service or bots?

3. Big question/problem #1: I mistakenly thought I could message these ladies to be professionally polite and "screen" them. I wanted to test their personality (since I'm truly looking for a companion experience) and break the ice by asking all "donation" information and needs. I did this with EXPRESS mention that I'm respectful of their time and am not a waffler, bur that I am not ready to book or schedule during initial contact. Some (most) ladies are cool with this, but still try to push me to book, which I contribute to "Salesmanship". Some ladies, however, really push it and lower their retainer fee or ask for gift cards. My gut says this is a red flag. Yes?

4. Big question/problem #2: 3 of the ladies (about 1/3) I contacted have messaged me several times since initial conversation and agreement of me saying "I will contact you if and when I am able to support your services." One messaged "to check in" and the other 2 are offering to meet sooner or are asking if the money is ready yet. Are these ladies messaging me a problem, or just looking for their pay?

5. Final question: I'm trying to make sure I remain gentlemanly, but is it acceptable to change my mind and back out of a potential (but not currently booked) meet? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

I am not trying to judge or belittle. I respect SW and the services they provide. I'm just hoping for clarity.

Thank you everyone for your time. I hope to hear about your insights soon!
