So Sorry...and I completely understand your concern.  You are sweet and kind...approached this the way I do. This is an invested encounter....once I commit to meet someone, I begin to sparkle a curiousity about the person...the realities, the fantasies, the uglies even.  You did the right steps...set things up in advance, send a day before email (did she respond back to this?), and then a gm/looking forward to meeting today text/email.
If she did not respond, you can try one more time and then honestly, no need to head her way no matter what was agreed on area-wise.  Who knows what happened...I do hope she is safe/PM me.  

The flipside is that some men and women find it hard to be honest and just say I f---ed up, I am sorry but...whatever reparations they want to commit to.  If they lacked the decency to do this right to begin with, I doubt that they were really giving it the investment to really make the encounter truly sensual and memorable.  So deep breathe and move forward as you have said...

Well you asked for a story and here is one of mine. I have had several over the years. Each with a good excuse, once they finally communicated.  

I was on a business trip to Florida. I set up an appointment with a well reviewed MILF in the town that I was visiting. I asked for either incall or outcall, which ever was best for her. She responded that she preferred incall and we set up a time for two days later. I flew into Florida, conducted business and contacted her again the day before. She communicated back that her incall was near a particular intersection. On the morning of the appointment, I texted that I was leaving my hotel (checking out actually) and started driving towards her incall. I was early, so I ate lunch at a nearby fast food joint. As I still had not heard back from her yet. I texted again that I was near the intersection and was waiting for further direction. Nothing. The appt time came and went. I sent an email, after not getting a text back. Then I called her number directly at the 30 min after mark. I waited an hour and got no message back. I was frustrated. The blue pill was kicking in and my heart was racing the whole time.  

I could not imagine what had happened. Did I do something wrong? Had we got our wires crossed. I rechecked my messages to her, to make sure we had agreed on a certain time, date, place. I went to a strip club, had a few drinks and a few lap dances. I changed my flight plans, as I had now missed my plane. I checked back into the hotel and went to sleep.  

Imagine my surprise the morning when I get an email from her saying, I had "No Showed her" and that she was going to put me on a blacklist somewhere. That got me fired up all over again. I emailed back and said for her to check her emails and texts.  30 mins later she apologized in an email, that her phone service had quit due to non-payment. She had forgot to mail the bill or something.  

She gave me her address and asked if she could make it up to me.  I was on the fence, having been burned the day before, and spent my hobby money on alcohol and lap dances. I went to the ATM and decided to see her in person, to see what the deal was. I was greeted at the door with a smile and huge apologies. She kept saying it was all her fault and she had not seen her messages before she messaged me about being a no-show.  

Long story short - my one hour appt turned into 3, and we had a very good time.  

Hopefully, you will hear from her in the future, once she gets things straightened out. Shit happens to all of us.

:/

who would cancel on you?

a reply from her would be nice but... I don't know the details of the conversation.  
Hopefully nothing bad happen, it may be some miscommunication and she just didn't  contact back for that reason? just wondering...  
I had few times that after screening,everything set, and the night before our date this guys came up with some inappropriate email or asking for stuff that isn't good to put it in writing... you know?! In those cases, I do cancel the appt. My safety it's my priority.  

You are very kind. Hope to see you soon!

...and all the advice. Who knows what happened. I messed up in my communications maybe. She got busy with life maybe.
Who knows. We move on and learn. Gonna only contact providers through their web sites now. Interested in exceptional experiences - not just wham bam

The simplest answer is usually the correct one... She flaked on you. You didn't do anything wrong and you don't need anyone to check that she's ok. Some people in this biz are just unreliable. Chalk it up to experience, stick to some of the fabulous well-reviewed providers we are lucky enough to have here in DC, and move on. Don't waste anymore time on her.

She may have done you a favor.  You just never know and taking it all in stride is the best advice I can offer.  Do your screening and allow her to do hers and things will generally work out well.

Happy Hobbying!

If she hasn't contacted you by now...

I suggest moving on & not bothering her, you continually contacting her may lead her to BL you & no one wants to be on that list especially in this hobby world..  

Cancellations/Nscs suck but it happens  

Too many girls out there to fret about one, especially if this was your first time seeing her.. If you were a regular she would of probably contacted you by now.  

Good luck!!

You are such a sweet gentleman!

I am sorry you had her stand you up, but you never know what happened to her. She could've had a family emergency and run out fast and didn't have time to email you back yet.  

There's not much that you could do just wait and see if she replies back or posts another ad.  Then you'll know she's safe.
