I haven't induldged in a while and my 411 preferred has expired - can't renew it in time via CC.  I do have one recent enough ( and fairly regular) date who will give me a good reference, plus some older ones too, never had a problem.   I am traveling to Vegas next week and have found several ladies who I would like to see. They all have pretty good screening processes.  Seeing it's Vegas and a Major convention I submitted requests to all three, since they all require screening before booking though, I put down  the date I would like. My question is, if more than one accepts me, how do I decline? I will accept the first one that accepts me so I won't be stringing any of them along, just trying to cover my bases. What is the proper way to say, thanks but no thanks?

whether done by clients or providers.

In any case, once you get one date, you should contact the other two and just say that circumstances don't allow for you to see them after all.  They'll know exactly what happened.

Just be aware that the gal who accepted is just as likely to give you the bum's rush should a better prospect turn up.

It's a dog-eat-dog aspect of the hobby that I wish could be solved somehow.
