Since you are asking about calling him you must have his phone #.  I would say that since he hasn't given you the room # either he got cold feet or was just jerking you around.  If you do try to call there is every possibility that the number he gave you is bogus.  Sorry to be so discouraging but there are some butt heads around.  You can try to call once but any more than that is just feeding his enjoyment.

Remember, this is just one mans opinion.  Hopefully it's wrong and he got the room # to you in time.

If you call him while he is with an SO or with his boss, etc., that could be bad news for him. So it is more a safety/discretion thing than etiquette. Most smart hobbyists will have a hobby phone, and they will turn it off and even hide it when they can't receive a call from an escort, but not every hobbyist does that, so you could call him at a bad time, unless he told you previously it was ok to call him. By the time you read this message it will be too late for tonight's session anyway but it is probably good to know for future reference. When you are making the initial arrangements, you might want to ask when it is ok to call (days, times etc.) As far as etiquette, if it is ok to call him (after you already know he is okay receiving phone phone calls), I would say if you were expecting a call from him at a certain time and he didn't call you yet, then it should be fine to call him and check in.

I hope this date worked out for you and you actually got the call from him, and it didn't turn out to be a last minute cancellation. However those do happen to all escorts, unfortunately. (and also to hobbyists with the escort cancelling at the last minute)  Feel free to come back and let us know how it worked out, and come back with further questions. This is a helpful board.

If you have a confirmed appointment time tonight and he gave you the name of the hotel, and his phone# call the jerk. This is horrible behavior on the part of the hobbyist, but, you'll come to find out there's lots of men who'll will jerk you around.  In the future you need to find out if the guy is serious about seeing you. First thing ask for provider references, then ask him what hobbyist boards he belongs to. Ask for his board handle, check to see if he's written reviews. Now some hobbbyist will refuse to give you their handle, but all hobbyists will give you references, unless they're a newbie or a jerk. Good luck in the future.

Almost every girl I've seen informs me "I'll call (or text) you when I'm on my way to get your room number". And then they do. Most send text messages, some call. Not only are they looking for the room number, I think they are also seeking confirmation that I am really ready and waiting.

There can be honest hiccups. I have a hobby phone, but I hardly use it, and I hadn't really figured out to type in text messages. So a couple of months ago this girl sends me a text message "Arriving at hotel. Room number?" and I can't figure out how to type the number into the stupid phone. She texts me a second time the same message. I tried calling but she didn't pick up (she didn't hear it). I realize she thinks I might be jerking her around. Finally I figure out the texting feature, and it was all okay.

Anyway, the point is that most girls call or text when they arrive, but it is good form to tell the client to expect your call.

When someone has a confirmed appointement with me, I will give them a confirmation time. This is usually 1.5-30 minutes before the scheduled appointment, depending on whether they are driving into town, or I am just headed across town to them. If I do not get that confirmation call & I have a phone number from them,  I will wait 10 min. past the confirmation time & then send them a text.. something along the lines of, "Still looking for the 8pm?"... if I hear nothing back, then I assume they have NCNS. A lot of times, they are just getting into town, or didn't realize that it was that time & are a few minutes late calling.

Having a confirmation time helps a lot, as a just in general, "I'll call you sometime today w/the room number" is too vague & leaves too much open for interpretation on one end or the others.

a few days ahead that "I will be arriving in [city] late afternoon and call you sometime after 6 pm with the room number.  Looking forwared to seeing  you at 8 babe."
