Seems we've got another NCNS thread going.  I'm not looking to beat that dead horse any longer because it seems that anyone booking her should know that they're playing with fire.  Still, those threads always talk about how it would be better to cancel at the last minute.  I agree but how much better is it?  Let's say that a guy is traveling to town and has his eye on a special girl.  An hour or a day before the date, she lets him know.  He's still kinda fucked and not in a good way.  Turning the tables, he cancels on her.  Can she possibly re-book the time that quickly or is she just out some cash?  In either case, there may be hard costs involved or just the value of one's time.  While I agree that shit happens and sometimes it's better to not go through with plans, lets not kid ourselves to think that there are not casualties.

It simply comes down to treat the other person (and their time) the way you would want to be treated yourself
Guys should treat appointments/dates with respect and women should do the same
While canceling at the last minute is bad
--what's worse is not communicating at all and no showing (especially if there has been contact the same day where one party has assured the other in some way that they will show)
And whats even worse-- not even communicating after a no show - that shows
complete and utter callous disregard

Four or more hours notice you should be able to make adequate alternative arrangements.  So I would suggest no harm no foul.  Canceling +\- one hour would be the same as NSNC

I had booked a really cute provider and this was going to be my first time ever seeing her were I had moved too. Was home getting ready for her visit and low and behold my phone rings it was my work calling me back for a few hours. Well needless to say I had just started there and was still under my 90 probation period and really couldn't tell them no. It was an hour before our time that I had to cancelle.   I totally felt like shit for doing it because of all the screening she did and the fact that she was already on her way to my house and stuck  in rush hour traffic. I did apologize to her for it and told her if there was any way i could keep it I would. Also I told her that I would be more then happy to make it up to her. She told me the way i could make it up was to book another appointment when I could.

He probably has an agency or two to fall back on.  A traveling guy likely needs more time.  I doubt 4 hours gives a provider the needed lead time to lure another guy in and screen him.

I flew into Atlanta from out of town expressly to see her. Left her email and phone message after I landed. She acknowledged receipt and said she would email directions. By late afternoon she hadn't. Then her communications went silent. She exhibited the worst, callous, fuck you behavior... But, hey, that's why her business is going down the drain. Obviously, she has problems...

You're starting to sound like a stalker.

Hardly, who's providing a service here?

We get it.  She pissed you off.  You gonna tell us why, or are we supposed to just trust the crazed stalker dude?

But you are right, i do have a couple of agencies and long term indi friends.

My schedule can shift with unexpectedly, ladies can have variety of reasons for changes.  Four hours should be sufficient for either party.

Both parties have obligations for forthright communications.  You should be considerate, if special circumstances or expense exist, offer to make whole if not able to find replacements.   Be adult.

Instead you just pop off with no thought...

...who in the fuck is Julia Steele?

That said, since you provided no link so no one can check out, then who cares?

We have a winner.  Whoever she is, she apparently bit his dick off and fed it to the neighbors dog, because he's all pissed off about it.  You'd think that by now he'd tell the whole story so we could either realize that he has news, or we could all stand together and laugh at his ass.

As it is now, I don't really give a fuck if he has a legitimate grievance or not. There are many ways to air a grievance, hijacking someone else's thread and coming off as some kind of demented stalker is not the way to do it
