Someone is going to be disappointed as a result of a double booking. One of those gals is going to lose money she was counting on because she was possibly telling other inquiring gents that she was already booked.

Same thing if the tables were turned...a poor gent (possibly with limited availability for playtime) is going to miss out on his fun that he was counting on.

I would not be offended at all if a gent contacted me and said, "I have a date scheduled for Friday at 6. Could you be my back up if she cancels if you don't get an appointment?" That increases your chances of still getting playtime if there's a cancellation without disappointing anyone. Of course, it doesn't increase your chances as much as double-booking, but that's where ethics and empathy come in to play.  

I've had the tables turned as well where a gent contacted me for an appointment when I was already booked. I've told him, "I'm already booked, would you like me to contact you if I get a cancellation?"

Communication and honesty is important in the hobby, I think. Good luck with your predicament.

as I think it is supremely disrespectful. The way around it is easy - just don't do it.

All right, you already have... so why not call one, 'fess up and cancel with plenty of notice? Like do the best by her you can?

I understand being concerned about late cancellations and NCNS by providers. If you get a cancellation, contact someone you've seen before and try for an appt.  

You won't die if you don't get laid for a day.  

And there is always:

That is just not right- yes I know things happen- just reschedule or find someone else with a great reputation. Now doubles booking is different - the chance of at least one showing up is great. Or just have a lady in the AM and one in the PM see if you survive. cheers

If you are searching, it is acceptable to ask many ladies if available, can they agree to time, etc.

Once you have a scheduled date, you should consider the time locked and take later appts or express regrets.  Think first come first to serve you

Double booking is a good thing

If both ladies are booked for the same time at the same location, it can be LOTS OF FUN!!!

My opinion on double booking is that it happens on both sides. Not everyone but some. I know some ladies do because of last minute cancelations or just guys playing around and some guys because of the lady canceling at the last minute for personal reasons, getting bump because of an offer for a longer appointment, or a regular called. That is why when I book with a new lady I pre book a 2-4 hour date (in which that is what I prefer anyways) to try  avoid getting bumped because my time is very precious and it’s very hard trying to get an appointment with a reputable provider on just a few hours’ notice even if you’re a regular.
