I think I would feel disappointed and mad at myself because it means I probably did not do enough research on the provider that I had the bad experience with.  I have had a few dates that afterward I wished I had not scheduled, but it's a learning process.  Don't dwell on your mistakes, learn from them and move on.  Make sure you do enough research on future dates to avoid more bad times.

I'm a total n00b. I have a couple reviews I'm going to write. One is glowing, one is awful. Is it normal to feel guilty after a bad experience? My first experience was fantastic. The 2nd was miserable and I feel guilty for doing it and wasting my money. Don't know if anyone else has had the same feelings.

You'd better believe he felt it was a complete waste of money.

So, of course, you feel guilty for feeling you've wasted your money just as you would for a terrible and overpriced concert, dinner, or car. You feel ripped off and cheated because you did not receive the value in return for the money that was given.

Sometime this will happen when seeing a provider despite checking reviews and doing research on the girl just because there is a mismatch in personality or chemistry and you don't have the good time you were expecting to have based on others' reviews of her.

When writing the review, just bear in mind how much of the disappointment is due to a mismatch in personality or chemistry and how much is due to her just not being very good at what she does or by misrepresentation.

I will be seeing a lady later this week. I will meet her for the first time. She is out of the normal selection for me, but appears interesting and she looks hot. When I see her face to face, I will get the first indication of whether I have wasted a considerable about of money or not. Bad experiences happen to us all. I once blew $3,500 instantly on a porn start that I thought would be a hot date, but who turned out to be a drunken basket case. I felt sad upon leaving, but the sadness was for her as a person instead of for the money that I had lost. Chalk you bad date up to experience and use it as a measure of what you should look for in a lady when choosing her for a paid date.

a bad experience.

One way to minimize this is to book only 1-hr. dates for first time visits.

. . . you have to decide whether you should say something at all.  When I have had a less-than-satisfactory session (at most one out of ten), I consider *why* it was bad.  If there was some element of deception involved - the woman's appearance was misleading on her website, or she was simply going through the motions - I will post a negative review.  That has only happened once in ten years that I can remember.

In the other instances of less-than-good experiences (they are just a handful) I did not review the session at all because my reaction was entirely subjective and another client could easily have had a good session.  Lots of things can turn a session south; my mood that day, something innocent that the provider says that strikes me in a negative way, or her uncanny resemblance to my second grade teacher.  I don't think it is fair to the provider to submit a negative review in those cases, and I don't think it is particularly helpful to prospective clients because I have no reason to believe their experience will be parallel to mine.
