As soon as he asked you about rate, that should have been it. Even I know better than that, and I'm a newbie.

Wow, this whole story sounds off to me. Asking 'what's your rate again?' over email is definitely bad. You probably should have dropped him right then. On the other hand, it seems odd that LE would be so disorganized, but at times they do try to do things that will distract you, so that you make a mistake.

You mentioned you felt weird in the beginning about his security comments. That should have been enough for you not to go forward.  Must hobbyists have a 15 to 30 minute wait period.  For him to leave after 5 minutes is bs. Just be thankful you didn't meet him.

Also if you want to be nice, you can always respond with a message along the lines of:

There were too many violations of the standard rules of this game we so enjoy.  They are here for a reason.  He could be LE or just a stupid newbie wanting to bang in the conference room...  but it's still not secure.  
As a retired person with no references...  when I started I had to give up my landline number so she could run reverse look up on it.  It worked out fine & 6 years later, I still see her when I'm in her area.  But he gave you nothing you could verify.  
Now you could have use a Street view to determine what companies were in that building & tried his name against it.  
Still, I will not second guess you.  If newbies can't follow the rules (like not discussing services & money) then you are better off not seeing them.  Before my first hook up...  like most newbies...  I tried to make contact a few times.  I broke all the rules.  No wonder I didn't get a date!
I think you dodged a bad experience.
Well Done.

It looks like you already know the many things you should have done for your own safety, but didn't. That being said, if it doesn't feel right don't go, your safety is more important than a few bucks or a pissed off guy you don't even know.

What you described sounds very weird.
First I would not have been meeting him if he had no references,verification site membership,or employment info.If he is in fact not a good guy meeting him in public so he can show you a work badge or ID it is too late you are in trouble.
Go with your gut too many red flags with this one.
When you feel a certain way when someone contacts you need to go with your gut it will not steer you wrong.
Sorry that happened to you but you need to do more verifying first.
You had already accepted the appt and then you decided to start screening that should have been first that way you would have saw that he wanted to meet you in a commercial area.
You are very lucky

I am from the uk, so things are a bit different for me when meeting new clients... But after reading your post you certainly, 100% did the right thing.  

Sounds like a pimp trying to kidnap you possibly! And they are always super nervous if the girl is LE. So, idk. but, that's my 2cents! I know a lot about pimps. But, thank GOD am 1,000,000,000,000,000,000% INDEPENDENT & plan on being INDEPENDENT for the rest of my life... Now, that I escaped my last pimp over a year ago! Thank God!

You had every right to be upset and paranoid about this situation.  I think that you should be thankful that this fellow did not stay around to meet you.  Never let your guard down and go with your gut feel. Just be sure to stick to your screening rules even if it does cost you a client or two.  Besides I do not know how you would have been able to have an enjoyable session with the way you were feeling at the time even if nothing "bad" would have happened.

one more reason { or reasons } to stick to " normal " incalls..sometimes outcalls can become so confusing..it becomes scary or dangerous for the lady involved..

multiple errors in judgment in his handling of the set-up of the appointment. You could have and maybe should have pulled the plug on his ass sooner.

I agree 100% if you don't feel safe you don't feel safe isn't that the point of this site for every one to have fun and be safe doing it that's why I'm on here I like that you can read a hobbyist reviews and see what kind of guy he is before you decide to see him if his reviews are to crazy for you and he's not some one you would want to spend time with you can see right away if your compatible  and that goes for the the the hobbyists as well. They are able to see if a provider is some one they would like to spend time with as well win win situation for both ends THANK YOU T.E.R
