Sitting here in my hotel room experiencing my first NCNS.  Highly reviewed provider, etc. etc.  Took all the right steps including confirmation yesterday.  Needless to say, I am pretty pissed off.  I have read threads like this and the advice is to have a back-up plan. How do you guys make that work?  It's not like you can leave a Plan B waiting and wondering if she has an appointment or not

END OF MESSAGE

I concentrate on the one I have made plans to see.  I have been NCNS'd  but just went home.  In the frame of mind I was when it happened, I think it would have been difficult to enjoy seeing someone else.  And like you indicated, how do you know if the one or two you have as plan B are even going to be available?  Answer: you don't.  So, I just go home and move on.

Swim

...I have no doubt it will happen one day. Plan B for me would be call a local agency and set up something with them for later in the day. Another option is call a lady you've seen and maybe she can see you short notice. If you're out of town though that's hard to do.

if you're some place you've never hobbied, than you're out of luck. I've been at this awhile, so it's not a problem to call a provider I've already seen if I'm traveling on business.  I've also shopped BP for a back up plan and done ok However, since you've used an alias to post, not sure how much experience you have, so not sure BP would work for you, unless you're very experienced.  

as many providers will do the same thing to cover their ass on a tour. If people had an ounce of fkin courtesy, these things would not have to happen. My advice....find an agency gal on short notice but one that has reviews. They are in the business to cater to you at a moment's notice, so I bet you could have someone there in less than 2 hours.

The best way to avoid a NCNS is to book with higher-end gals with lower review counts. They have less turnover and thus more commitment to each booked date than some other gals.  

But the basic answer for me to being "all wound up and nowhere to go" is to have a short list of 2-3 go-to friends at different price points. (I keep tend to keep them in my "Favorites" list on TER.) If one is not available as a back up option, another may be. I never double book. Agencies are good for contingency planning but given the recent heat in NYC and the DC/MD areas, they seem a bit risqué nowadays.  

I've not had a same-day cancellation for a pre-booked appointment in a very long time. But I'm always conducting due diligence for potential new partners throughout my price range, not just the mid- and upper-levels. When I've narrowed them down to 1-2 within each price segment, I often will get prescreened so that I can book quickly. P411 and Date-Check (two websites that conduct hobbyist pre-screening for escorts) are excellent for this, but TER White List Referrals can help speed things along when used in addition to those sites. Also, I make a point of visiting gals in the mid- to lower donation levels from time to time because I can't always afford dates with premium priced partners. (I imagine none of the premium priced companions would ever think of being open to seeing me - as a regular client - on a somewhat reduced rate once in a blue moon just to maintain my loyalty, versus waiting for me to re-flush at some unknown point in the future. This would be a savvy move on her part but I'm not brave enough to ask.)

Anyway, hope this helps!

Hey London - thanks.  Can you get to LA before sunset?  I don't get this behaviour either.  She got back to me hours after our start time and basically said something came up with no further explanation. I am puzzled because she has a solid reputation.  I replied right away, and asked about scheduling later in the day.  Thought I should give her the benefit of the doubt.  She never even bothered to respond.  I only hobby on business travel every couple of months, so this is partcularly annoying. I think she knew last night that the date was off.  All it would have taken was a simple e mail telling  me that and I could have made alternate plans.  

I am just gonna forget it and get her off my list for next time.

I feel your pain.  My very first appointment was a NCNS.  I was going out of town and had a free afternoon and scheduled days in advance.  She was well reviewed and I contacted her thru a popular screening service and we had exchanged many emails & texts leading up to our date.

And nada.
And I had no Plan B

On my third NS (it was a late cancellation really), I contacted a girl I had been thinking about, but I bid not research her as much as I normally would (I typically do lots of homework, perhaps more than necessary, but better safe than sorry).  Fortunately, everything went fine, but I would never be that cavalier again.  Now that I've been on sites like this for a bit, I do have a list of locals that I would like to see, so if one was a NCNS, I have a few ladies I could safely contact, but I would not ever see another lady that I have not thoroughly checked out

I have made last minute appointments twice and both times have been disappointed.  I think it'd best to regroup, even if it means not seeing a provider that same day.

I feel your pain, man, an NCNS really sucks when you have put in some time and effort into setting something up ahead of time.  You said you were in a hotel room, so obviously travelling.  

When I am on a trip, I usually try to set something up with a well reviewed, upscale independent.  I will also contact an agency or two, get them some references or otherwise get checked out as a backup.  You never know when you will get a NCNS, since reviews are only of actual appointments.  You did it right in confirming the day before, but I will also contact again 4-6 hours before the appointment ('Just saying hi, can't wait to see you!  etc...).  If I don't hear back in an hour or two, I'll contact the agency again and see what they have available.  Since you're already checked out, they can set things up quickly.  By the time you see who they have available, and do a little background, it's a couple of hours before the scheduled appointment.  If I still haven't heard back, then it's "I guess something must have come up, I'm going to make other plans," and confirm with the agency.  I like the backup plan to have some time to get ready, seems only polite.  Plus, the time gives me a chance to forget about the PITA of changing plans.

Like London said, I can understand why you would think about this possibility but please be aware that a LOT of us use the same screening software and we can see when another lady has screened you and when we see that multiple ladies have screened you in a 24 hour period, we discuss this amongst ourselves to avoid being NCNS'ed ourselves.  "Oh wow, he's inquired about the same day and time with you as he did with me, hmmm very interesting."  I've caught several tricksters double and triple booking this way and many other ladies also.

Or even back to back? That would mean in the case that neither did the ncns or canceled then he would be doing a ncns or canceling at the last minute. Two wrong dont make a right. Do unto others ....  

Sorry that happened to the op but always booking two providers like that will give him a bad rep no to mention its just bad business.  

I never double book. When I started I was with an agency and they double/triple booked us all the time then call the second guy or the cheaper one and make up an excuse to be late. I never liked lying or playing that juggling game. Each appt and client should be treated as a priority. It's about quality not quantity.

And look for a couple who possible do take last minute appt. You don't have to say the exact reason, just something like "I may need to schedule at time with very little notice.  How much time do you need for that once I am pre-approved?" Then hopefully in the event you have a ncns, you have a couple you can call.

I was the victim of a NCNS, I just scheduled something the next day or so.

Much more difficult to do now that I rarely travel.

I would not be comfortable doing this anyway.  I think that TER should have some kind of reporting system for behaviour like this.  I pay to be a member of this site and make my selections based upon the reviews and content here.  And yet we have no way of effectively reporting unprofessional conduct.  So if a provider gets a certain number of NCNS's in a certain period of time, then she shows of on a frequent NCNS list.  If there was some kind of consequence for treating people like crap, then maybe a "well reviewed" provider would think twice before blowing people off.  Maybe the system should work in both directions so that hobbiests show up on their own list.

I was stood up only once (so far) and it was an outcall where I booked a hotel room. It sucked because I was out the cost of the room. I walked to the nearest strip club, enjoyed some eye candy, bought some lap dances, then went back to the room and watched porn and jacked off. Then I spent the night in the room, had breakfast in the hotel restaurant and checked out.

I just tried to make the best of it and nadr use of the room rather than just moping. Obviously a strip club is not the same as a provider, and i definitely don't have the same expectations at a strip club, but I still enjoy them.

As others have stated here, an agency, or a massage parlor can be a good backup plan. You should never double book providers though

I was not exactly NCNS...  
A preplanned meeting with a Fav lady, she didn't pick up when I made my confirmation call as I was about to launch (hour + drive).  I was Miffed, to be sure.  After a second try, I called another Fav & had a great time...  thinking #1 had lost out on my company.  I later found out she was out of town on a legit family emergency...  her sister was seriously sick.  I felt really bad after I found out.

I had a well reviewed provider simply would not pick up the phone the day of our appointment after confirming the night before.  Although I was not out money, it cost me an opportunity.  If I'd known, I'd have booked with another provider.  I will not risk another opportunity on her.  She continues to get good reviews in a nearby area.  
I was not able to book anything with the short notice I had left.

Fav #1 (again) I called to confirm.  She picked up.  She was in a car with family (really awkward)...  her sister had completed chemo & was considered to have been recovering well...  when she died inexplicably.  They were driving out of state to her funeral.  
I saw Fav a couple of months after that & she was zombie like...   We are in the grey area between friends / lovers / provider spent more time talking than playing though we did do the deed.      

I like to have "3" favorites I can call depending on my inclination of the moment...  but no screening is required.  Sometimes it works & sometimes not...

A bit naive to think that it does not happen with cheap, last minute options hon. No, I am not "promoting" a thing. I said call an agency when he was cancelled on, but there is nothing wrong with a guy booking 2 women if he flat out tells them what is going on. Don't think there are not desperate enough providers who would care if they are plan B, because many will gladly take that money when girl A cancels.

Not because I am better in any way but I do value my time.  I'm not going to block an amount of time for someone who possibly won't be able to make it if I can book a solid appt
