Thank you vhunter! Nice to know I WASN'T the only one. Maybe NOT nice for YOU, but it was a huge boost for ME. Sounds like your experience was VERY similar to mine--maybe even a bit WORSE. Sounds like (just like me) she didn't get any of your money, though! Too bad the oil companies, OPEC, the auto repair industry, etc., etc. had to, though! I probably burned over ten bucks, 30 mobile phone minutes, and two hours of my precious time on MY goose chase, though.
I guess it all goes back to the old "dick teasers" (which is what they called them in MY day, anyway). I'll NEVER understand how some women just "get off" on putting it in front of us, and then pulling it away at the last minute. That seems to be all they want. They must REALLY hate men. Very "High Schoolish" and adolescent. Why can't they just ever GROW UP?Kinda sad, when you think about it.
Fortunately, WE have TER, and forums like THIS one, to FIGHT BACK. Powerful weapons these are, too! It really "evens the playing field" for us men, and customers in general. Thanks SO MUCH, vhunter!
As for everyone else, I hope all of this may save you some grief. If you feel these kinds of forums are useful, try to "talk them up" with your friends, participate with your experiences and views, and write to TER to see if they would be willing to build "this arena" up to be as important (if not more so) than the reviews. After all, with all of TER's rules and limitations on reviews, an awful LOT of valuable stuff is in the forums that can NEVER be passed on ANY other way!
I found this gal on eros-dc.com under the Brunette Providers Section (rather than under Tantra) with the scene name of Brianna. She should not be confused with another provider in this area known as Brianna (who I understand is a true GFE), nor with metro DC's Mistress Brianna in S/M. In her eros ad, she indicates that she is new to the DC area, and is looking for a group of "select" clients (whatever that means), and that she insists on initial contact by Email. Her picture revealed strikingly good looks, perhaps DDG. Well, I guess I should have seen some "caution flags" from all of this, and as my experience revealed, I should have gone with my initial instincts. But those incredibly good looks just snagged me. What "cinched the deal" was when I found what appeared to be a satisfactory review of her (in the 6-7 range) on TER.
So, I emailed her, and she sent a reply with her mobile phone number. I was still "on the fence" about scheduling her, so I decided to give her a call. That was when I should have gotten my NEXT clue! She indicated that she wanted the phone used to schedule sessions and complete the "two call system" only, because she had limited mobile phone minutes. That's when I should have realized that she apparently isn't serious about being in business, because anyone who IS would certainly "right off" necessary phone time as a business expense.
But, it seems like I always have to learn "the hard way" (which hopefully my "teammates" won't have to, thanks to this post). So, I ended up calling her back and scheduling an appointment. Her directions gave US Rt. 50 and I-95 (The Capitol Beltway) as the exit reference point to get to her incall in Bowie, Md. Over the phone, she gave the names to two cross streets near her location (which were totally unfamiliar to me) and suggested I use mapquest.com to locate this intersection. I asked her to spell the names, but evidently we had a rather lousy phone connection (so what else is new). Bottom line, I had the wrong spelling for one of the roads (way off). Needless to say, Mapquest and Tiger wouldn't work. I couldn't figure out why.
So, like the Taurus Bull that I am, I still went and allowed an extra 45 minutes to my travel time, figuring I would need it. Well, as it turned out, I used up EVERY ONE of those 45 minutes. At one point, I had to call her for some help (which she was not able to give since she was "new to the area and didn't know it herself"). Finally, at just about the appointed time, I reached what appeared to be the reference point for the call to get her specific address. You probably won't believe what happened then. She told me that I was the only one who had ever had any problems trying to find her and that if I couldn't figure out something as "simple" as that, I CERTAINLY wouldn't be able to figure out the "complexities" of tantra. Bottom line, she refused to give me the address and sent me back home "packing" after I have driven over 50 miles to try to find this infernal place. Want to know where it really was? Try, off of U.S. Rt. 301 about two miles south of U.S. Rt. 50. That's about 8 miles away from the Beltway and US 50. That's the reference point she SHOULD HAVE used. Had she done so, it would have changed the entire route I used to get there, and made things a whole lot simpler. Now, I ask you: who was REALLY the "stupid one" here? Okay, don't answer that!
Anyway, I tried to post all this as a TER Review, since they are much more widely seen than this forum (and also qualify for 15 days membership credit). As I feared, the review was dissapproved because I never got to really SEE her and actually have a session. Oh well, "live and learn". I would suggest you avoid her "like the plague". Who the heck wants to go to a provider who's too cheap to get an adequate cell phone plan, and who is likely to try to insult their intelligence (in more ways than one)??
I tried to see her three weeks ago, 495 was jam packed, so I called her and let her know that I'll be 15 minutes late. She told me call her when I get there. So, I called, and called, she never answer the phone. After three try in fifteen minutes, I just went home. Guess what, she just save me $$$$. There are more than 200 listings on Eros DC, I'll just say---next please.
My problem was if she doesn't want to see me, all she had to do is pick up the phone and say "I no longer wish to see you because..." I don't have any problem with that. I'm actually happy that I didn't see her. She is most likely no going to provide GFE. Hate liers!!

Consider yourself lucky, I found out the "hard way". Massage only with no HR and got the run around on the directions. She almost ran me off with all of the roundabout turns, but I finally realized where I was since I used to know someone who lived in that area. I got the same speech about "new to the area" in EARLY AUGUST, so buyer beware.
Thank you, gritmyteeth! Of course, you are the author of the ORIGINAL review of Brianna, to which I referred in my original post. In Brianna's ad on eros, she seems to imply that things could lead further, but that only the massage and tantra were absolutely being offered. Your review only CONFIRMED that, which really didn't surprise me, nor put me off. That truly was the only thing I was going for (even though I felt the price was a bit steep for just that). The thing is, I had never experienced tantra, and seemingly who better to have it with than a "looker" like Brianna? Who better INDEED? Almost ANYONE else, apparently, no matter HOW skillful she is!
Even though you managed to find her and get in, I get the impression from your post that you are NOT going back, EITHER!
Well, these words of wisdom will hopefully be enough for the rest of you. If anybody has experienced a vastly counter experience to ours, I sure would appreciate hearing about it. Otherwise, I doubt you will DARE to try now, UNLESS you have a "bottomless wallet" and curiosity gets the better of you.
Man, she sounds like another rip off called Saraphina Sunshine. Claims to be all experienced and brilliant about Tantra, has beautiful pic on site (spreading her lips -- what does that imply?!?), implies you'll have a great time, then leaves you high and dry. She actually told me she could have me arrested when I allowed as how I was expecting a little release as part of the experience! A very angry, man-hating woman who is in the wrong business...
