A deposit is always required. Under no circumstances will I discuss meeting without one. A deposit shows me that you are serious about meeting and not wasting my time. No matter how long we have known each other I want to be shown that you respect my time by continuing to do what is asked of you. I do understand if you choose to forego seeing me because of said deposit. I will not waste my time going back and forth about a date that may or may not happen. I do not make any plans until everything is set in stone aka the deposit is paid. Please do not reach out unless you have a definite day and time you would like to meet and you are deposit ready. I prefer to preserve my energy and pleasantries for gentlemen who do not wish to waste my time.
