well, as a careful newbie, I thought I had figured out how to play this game, with a lot of help from TER, etc...but when I made a couple calls to a listed provider (a well-reviewed one at that) and set up a meet at a specific lakeside lodge I rented for the occasion, I got totally stood up. She had gotten a legit phone number to use to screen me...we talked again to agree to time and place, she said she would call when nearby, and I ended up with the pleasure of sitting in a nice room overlooking a nice lake on a beautiful evening with never a call, or call back after my several calls to her.  I drank her share of the wine and wondered how random this whole game could get.  A week later I called her number and was told I had the wrong number.  Now I see her advertising a visit again to my area, still highly reviewed, still with the same number.  I think I need to mention now that there is nothing about me or the screening that could have worried her.  Is this common?  Should I just forget it and move on? (actually I already have....to other well reviewed and wonderful women).  I had worried she had had some awful incident.  But no.  Should I name her or follow up with her?  Thanks for any insight here.

I am new to this site also. I feel the same as you. But one girl told me that she cared very much about her reviews. So, do like I do and will keep-on doing, write a review.
Calling the cops might be a problem?
Reviews are you're sole resouce so go for it brother!
By the way, who is this other lady, if I may ask?
And how was it? if I may again.
Regards

Chalk it up to experience.  NCNS happens, though it is rare in my experience with well-reviewed ladies.  You should resist the temptation to call her out by name on your local board, especially if she is popular.  Doing so as a newbie w/o reviews or using an alias will likely backfire, and blow back on you.  Better to just hold your tongue and continue seeing the lady friends you have been having fun with.  If someone ever asks you about this lady via PM, that's a different story...

I have a review in that should, I think, soon be visible for the first gal I did connect with.  Nice.  I guess I could do a review on meeting that never happened, but I guess I don't feel like I should do that without knowing her side of the story (though she chose not to share it with me).  I think most likely she decided to skip the drive to my location when something closer and more profitable came up.  Thing is, I would have understood a cancelation, I just was peeved to rent the place and never hear what happened.  I think the advice to forget about it is probably good.  Glad to hear it's not a common thing.

Crazy Diamond hit it on the head... If you have no reviews to back it up... dont'.  Yes I believe in calling out those who are providers... However you have nothing to back it up.  I am sorry that happened.  Sounds nice what you had in mind.  Learn and do better next time.  

If I would have been her... as I have done... I would have directed you to other things I enjoy non sexual... and that's for later.    Two day excurtions does not equal 48 hours worth of straight sex.  Companionship is a whole nother story

From me personally, a long term date is earned on trust.  Not a first date.  So problem number one... and keep in mind that if a gal has been around for awhile you are not first on her list... That is bad yes I know.  Haven't been seen vs have been seen is a biggie.  Once you have seen someone before alot of the guard comes down.  

I do not know what she is thinking... or if she had gotten into trouble.  Move on and find someone else.  

No matter her comfort level, she should have told you where she stands yes.  "Hey I do not know you and can not trust you... so an hour or two is good" Because it does not mess with her schedule nor yours.  Clients play games as do providers for many reasons.  I prefer to be honest and blunt.  

Some things to think about.  It may not be what it seems...

Everything has to do with trust.

There is good advice by the other posters on your thread. Naming her may not be a good idea.
Even well reviewed providers will sometimes flake out. Don't give her a second chance.  
Always have some sort of a back up plan, if possible. I am not saying double book, but keep a couple prospects on hand.
Try again.

Sorry your first experience did not end the way you wanted it to. As a previous post said, try to have a back up plan. One of the problems with the review system is there's no way to know if a lady has ncns history, as you cannot write a review. Keep on trying, however, to reduce your $ strain of having taken a place, try a well reviewed lady who offers in call. good luck

thanks all....good advice.  It's history now.

I think you went for broke trying too hard to have a great first experience...  you incured trouble & expense which is a shame.  The missing element is you had not seen her first.  A good rule is to have a date or 2 at her incall before anything more extensive.  It's been posted before that it would be hell to have an overnight with someone you dislike!

You made an inquiry...  she knows your number & decided not to answer for her decision.  NCNS is wrong in both directions, and she knows it.  Just scratch her off the list.  Sounds like she missed a great time.

Right, thanks.  For the record, tho, we hadn't set up an overnight.  We'd agreed on 90 mins at her regular posted rate.  Personally, I doubt that an overnight will ever be my preference with any provider...but hey, I'm learning lots of new things lately.  Cheers.

Some advice. Use a hotel in a large city when getting started. Research many providers, know their hours, keep the numbers of ladies that meet your schedule in your wallet. If your first choice show up, have a time. If she does not show up start calling ladies on your list. Research good agencies that serve the city, most have several rock solid ladies on call.
