I do indeed. All new friends are required to pay a 50% deposit via Venmo/Cashapp/Zelle. I no longer accept Paypal from new friends, and only accept it from current friends.
Should you cancel for any reason at any time, any deposit made is non-refundable. Should you cancel less than 6 days in advance, the rest of my date fee is required at the time of cancellation.
I absolutely understand that life happens and that you may need to reschedule our time. If this is our first time meeting, I offer one reschedule within the same month of the original scheduled date. I’m very big on first impressions, and when I book with you, I arrange my schedule completely around our date.
My definition of rescheduling is “changing the day of our date with ample notice before the day of our date.” If you cancel our date and then wish to see me at a future unknown time, that is not a rescheduling; that ‘s a separate date that requires 50% deposit and remaining payment upon meeting, just like any other date.
I take my bookings very seriously and only see a select number of people per month. When I commit to time with you, I tell others “no”.
