So, I had basically what amounted to a provider no call (which turned into a no show as well) earlier tonight.
After one great experience with a provider, and two less than stellar experiences; I'm wondering what the problem is. My attitude is one of discretion, cleanliness, and professionalism. I treat the ladies I run across this way, and I expect the same. Why is this so difficult? At the rates some providers charge; you'd think this would be a no brainer for all involved. Let me just set the back story and you all can tell me what you think.
Basically, I saw an ad for a well reviewed lady on here, and after seeing her ad pop up a few times; I decided to go for it and call her. I did and got a VM box. Left a message (once and then again after no call back after a few hours). I was hoping for an appointment later the same evening if I could get it, or to schedule one in advance for a day or two later if all else failed. I then get a text from a number I don't recognize, so I respond with "Who is this please - I don't recognize the number". How this girl thought I would recognize a number other than the one she has listed is beyond me because the text she left me was no more than the words "Whats up" more or less....without a name attached.
I understand discretion, for a variety of reasons, but it struck me as odd. I let it slide and after a few texts back and forth; we agreed upon 8pm - a few hours away and I thought - since she agreed to it; that we were set. So, she tells me to call her at the new number between 6:30 and 7pm. No problem....I call at 6:3pm and get a full mailbox, after a greeting which gives a different name (her real name I think). Okay, strike one I am thinking at this point "she's busy, probably with a client or getting ready for me". Who knows? She immediately texts me back stating "I will call you in a bit baby - tied up right now". I laughed and thought that could be REALLY close to the truth I'll bet. So I went and finished getting ready. This is AFTER I spent a significant amount of time getting cleaned up, and perfectly minty fresh so to speak. It gets closer to the appointed hour, and I am wondering if I am going to hear from this girl or not; so I take the initiative of driving across town to the area she has listed in her ad just in case I get the call.
Nothing - so I text back and say "Well, I guess since I never heard back from you; then we'll have to try again some other time". I literally had cash in hand, was dressed to the nines, and was as ready as any guy could be. I fulfilled my end of the bargain, and it frankly pisses me off that some women can't seem to fulfill theirs. Hell, even a return text with an apology and an offer to make it up to me would have been nice. I realize that to her I'm a complete stranger; and there's obviously going to be nervousness, fear of law enforcement; and all that - but if that's the case; then why even bother to start the conversation going in the first place? If she had never responded to her initial voicemail question I left; then that would have been the end of it. Now she lost a potentially loyal client, and I'm debating writing a bad review which would be her first.
Do you think I should do it or not?

you can't write a review. What you can do is let your fellow hobbyists know the identity of the lady in question once you think enough time has passed and she is just ignoring you. We all need to remember that sometimes stuff happens and we can't always let someone know there is a situation that needs to be delt with.
Since you have been ignored, it is time to prevent others from having the same experience.
You did everything right, she flaked on you. When a provider lets someone down they usually don't like to give excuses or spend any time with a potentially hostile guy who got stood up. It happened to me this year. I sent her a respectful email asking for an explanation and got nothing, BUT 6 weeks later I got an apology and a sizeable discount for another date. Go figure.
It's a flaky business, and while most are responsible and ethical, others could care less about you, or how much time you took getting ready. You saved the money for someone else is all you can take away from this experience.
6 weeks? LOL......talk about slow response time. At least she offered you a discount for your trouble.
So, here's the latest:
She texted me back today at work with the explanation that she was "sick" and "fell asleep". She apologized and offered to schedule me in anytime in the next few days - to which I decided to cave in and try once more for tonight. Now, my instincts tell me that she really wasn't sick, and if she is; then she should probably not be seeing clients anyway - but who am I to judge right?. Ironically, when I told her that I might write a negative review of her; that's when I get a response. Who knows if it made a difference, but I'll give her another shot. If she makes good on this one; then I'm none the worse for wear I suppose.
I'll post a review assuming we actually do get together. ![]()
If you had asked before hand, I would've advised against threatening her by saying you'd write a bad review but I guess it worked.
Good luck tonight, let us know how it goes.
If you'd been in Tampa, you would be describing my experience this weekend.
Only difference is I had been stood up (no call no show) 2 months before & the girl eventually went MIA. Never did get an explanation.
She then surfaces this weekend & texts me .... subsequent attempts to contact her failed miserably-- even though I was willing to give her another shot. I don't care what the situation ... the least you can do is text "Sorry can't make it"
I was a regular but now I'm sick of her BS.
Anyone in the Tampa area may PM me for details.
... post her name here & I suggest you do so that your fellow hobbiests do not waste their time. You cant review her, except fraudulently, as you did not meet her. NCNS is the ultimate show of disrespect, lack of any semblance of courtesy, and complete lack of professionalism that deserves "outing." There is no excuse other than becoming incapacitated physically or incarcerated. This is true of both providers AND clients. You owe it to the hobby community to "out" her; its not revenge, its courtesy to your fellows. Trust me, if the reverse happened she would not see you AND would out you on the Provider Board. My 2 cents
Good advice and noted. As it stands right now; we are still trying to get together. Yes, there was yet another "complication" tonight - so my SECOND appointment was denied. She did try to offer alternatives and we tried to work around the new situation; but to no avail as of yet. She has promised to "make it up" to me, and we are still in touch; so we'll see. She seems sincere enough about righting the wrong. She does appear quite attractive and seems to have a decent personality; so I'm willing to get dressed and clean up yet AGAIN for one last attempt.
I have her contact info and I'll attempt one last time at my convenience in the near future. If it doesn't work out a third time; then I'll move on and I'll publicly out her.
Twice now with the "complications". Yikes! Appears quite attractive and has a decent personality? That's 92.5% of the ladies out there.....
I know I know.......but I'm out no money save the gas across town so far; and my time - (which is the part that kind of gets to me). If she was any less local, then there would be no debate. One NCNS would have finished the situation. You are right though - girls are plentiful, however not so much here in Jax. Most of the ones I have seen advertised up here just don't do it for me physically judging by their pics/profiles.
