I had an appointment scheduled for yesterday morning and was very excited to meet the provider for the first time.  However, she never provided me with an address and didn't reply to my text in the morning so I figured it must have been canceled.  I received a message from her later in the day saying she had a family emergency to take care of and she sincerely apologized.  I want to see her, but I am also a little nervous now considering what has happened over the past couple of months.  Would you all give her a 2nd chance?

To my mind - a matter of what you want to put up with.  I have no idea what your toleration for that is.  

if she was someone I really wanted to see sure.  Just know she will
always have time issues...late or no show.

You stated she sincerely apologise

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't.  Contrary to what others have said I don't see any reason to even consider her " flaky " or having time management issues. She contacted you the same day and apologized.  

She could have had a legitimate family emergency, however if she really wants to make it up to you she will offer you some kind of discount added time or monetary.

Your reviews span a dozen years, so this isn't your first rodeo.  Is she just the next one on your list or "gotta do her or I'll die?"  Unexpected stuff happens, and it may be a one-off.  On the other hand, the odds just went way up that she's a flake.  Your choice - what's your pain tolerance to find out?

No I don't.  
I also don't need to make a life lesson out of a single missed appointment.  

He has a habit of being negative and a know it all.

But I've had two providers, both 10's, who did this. I guess they figure the guys will put up with it. Whether the guy does depends upon how bad he wants to see that 10. Then there's the question of whether she's really a 10.

I no longer live in Atlanta but it is probably the best of the closer options for me - but still about a 5-6 hour drive that I do not do often any longer.  So a late cancellation on a tightly scheduled trip is a major problem for me.  I would consider a 2nd chance on future trip if she offered to help me out - if I wanted the help - with a few phone calls to other providers she might know to get me in somewhere if I was still in the mood.  I understand stuff happens - but if you are traveling, have made plans well in advance and don't have much flexibility, a  little help can go a long way towards smoothing things over.

Considering many have families that don't know they do this, you really don't know what kind of situation she was involved in. If she truly had an emergency, trying to slip away may have raised heads. Just as many of you with wives who question your moves and why your leaving the house in the middle of the day on a weekend and your having to come up with an excuse, providers go through the same thing. And you don't want to ever leave the impression in someone's mind that your slipping away to make a call, send a text or an email and leave them feeling like your cheating. So yes, give her a another chance. Since you really don't know, be considerate and make sure she is ok. Rebook and if it happens again, then you can decide if she's someone you really want to pursue.  

I don't know if she really had an emergency or not. I say give her another chance, just one. She should have contacted you somehow to let you know though. Things happen.

Family emergencies do happen.  Like a lot.  Either you believe her or you don't, but the idea that this could be some elaborate pretense related to the events of the last couple months is ridiculous.  

Stuff happens; I get it.  However there's always time to send a text or whatever BEFORE the time. Yes a last minute cancellation sucks - but it beats radio silence by a mile.  I can forgive a last minute cancel (and I have) but nothing for a few hours???

You think something that critical would get a call immediately?  Sometimes it's hard to think when something devastating happens.  Like the others said,  I don't know what exactly happened, but we all deserve a second chance.  I let a fellow down a few weeks ago, I didn't hear back from confirming the night before,  then felt really ill the following morning. I didn't get out of bed till the next day and apologized profusely and added extra time if he would rebook.  He didn't rebook.  Said he would but hasn't.  MY fault completely.  But, there are times when we just cannot get our thoughts together when something really bad happens.  I don't blame others for their view at all.  it's all good.  I can't tell you how many NCNS I've had.  No explanation no nothing.  Or a very sorry excuse that seems to be used repeatedly.  One just never knows unless they do it over and over again.  Most of us don't have the patience to deal with bullshit.  But, there's always bullshit in this business.  Men that double book, ladies that double book.  Hang overs, etc...lol

Go ahead. You may even get to meet her Uncle Leo at the same time.

Yeah, it's not like we're Assist District Attorneys or anything. They don't get arrested for solicitation. Oh wait....
