    I had one mom show up and rant and rave about how she loved my handbook and contract, that she would be checking my references and talking with her husband and it would be a go.....

    She has ignored my 2 attempts to contact her... I haven't heard from her since. No, I don't normally chase people but she seemed so pleased, and she said "I'll be in touch to take the final steps"
    ........


    ETA: I choose clients, just as much as they are choosing me and I have "rejected those" I don't feel are a good fit who wanted to come, but as I said, lately people are just confusing.
    Just a thought but maybe the generation raised on endless "good job"'s regardless of how little effort they put and how much they sucked is the generation that walks around praising everyone without meaning it at all. If you are raised on endless empty praise maybe you just instinctively praise people on everything.

    This is in NO WAY saying you don't deserve all that praise, just pointing out that some people gush on and on face to face then walk away and don't look back. I can't help but wonder if this is potentially why.
