And I feel bad about it. Let me explain:
Several weeks ago I messaged a new cuddler welcoming them to CC. Shortly after that their profile was updated with the phrase "My time is not free". As I usually do in these cases, I reported the profile as an "untagged pro" And left it at that.
A few minutes ago I got a response from this cuddler asking if I was still interested. My reply was:
"Nope"
Which after thinking about it seemed unduly harsh. I was acting as if this person was trying to be deceptive, but with a little more thought I realized it was just because she didn't know the rules and etiquette and I was just being a jerk about it. So I tried to send an update to her, but in the meantime she responded "ok" and blocked me. Which I can't blame her for.
But in any case, if somebody could apologize to name redacted - Babichev for me, I would appreciate it. The following is what I tried to send her in between the time that I sent my first response and I was blocked.
"Sorry, that was rude of me.
When I messaged you there was no indication that you were charging a fee. Finding that out after the fact made it feel like you were being underhanded, but I'm after thinking about it, more accurately it was because you were new to this site and didn't know the rules or etiquette.
Anyway, I don't cuddle with pros. To me it doesn't seem like it would have the right vibe, which is very important to me.
Best of luck in your cuddling :-)
Sorry you had this experience. Your regret is understandable and I’m sure your request is well-intentioned. However, it could be considered trying to circumvent a block and at any rate, it intrudes on the cuddler’s privacy to refer to them by name in a public thread. - Babichev
