I suggest you move on.

No, you don't need a new phone each time you want to hobby.  One clean phone should be all you need.

Really think you should have done more research before making the date.

Just wanted to throw this out there because I'm a little new, and want to hear some input.

So I call an ad, set up an appointment for a couple of hours from then.  When the appointed time comes, I call back, she says give me another hour.  I call back in an hour, she says give me another hour.  I figure, oh well, not a good provider- or at least not good enough for me to work within my schedule.  I politely tell her that I will be unavailable for an appointment at the time she suggested, and will consider calling her again the next time I am in town.

A little over two weeks later, she just flat out cold calls me, tells me she's got my number in her phone, and wants to know if I'd like to get together.  Mind you, I've never seen this girl before, and my one attempt at setting an appointment resulted in what basically amounts to a no-call no-show where I was dumb enough to sit in the general area for 3 hours waiting for her to give me the location details.

Is this to be expected?  Are there just a few bad providers that do this?  Do I need to get a burn phone every time I want to do some hobbying and leave it in the trash at the hotel?

Also, did she verify you at all? Sounds a bit shady if she didn't verify you (I'm asking this because you set up an appointment for "a couple of hours from then") and then gets shadier as she kept moving the time. This is no good at all.

One hobby phone is fine, as long as you DO have a hobby phone. Just name the contact "don't answer this one." Then feel happy about the fact that you don't have to deal with this BS on your REAL phone. I don't even turn my hobby phone on unless I'm scheduling or going to an appointment. (and a few days after in case an emergency happens. Never had that emergency happen, but who knows.)

Swim, is right, most well reviewed ladies will not do this. HOWEVER, times are tough, and sometimes even well reviewed quality providers may resort to this tactic. If you had access to the RO board this has been a past topic of conversation. No need for another hobby phone, my suggest is just be a little more selective. I'm guessing this gem didn't ask you for references.

and the girl spent everything she earned out partying...  and not with any one of us.   She might be willing to throw you a deal but this level of maturity leaves me doubting of the quality of service.   This is why you must have a hobby phone & shut off when you are not hobbying...  by rights a provider should not call back unless you have instructed her it was ok.   I don't believe in cold calls unless you have an agreement that it's ok...  better to have a hobby email too.

Great advice as a true newbie I never even thought about a hobby only phone....This discussion is    really helpful....thanks

unprofessional providers such as her. She called you? WTF. She must be on something, knowing the scenario that took place. She doesn't care too much about her clients, had you wait for 3 hours? You should have rolled out after 15 mins. From now on, do not wait 3 hours for any provider, that sounds crazy!!!! She's is for sure going to give you terrible service anyways. WTF!!! Lose that bitch & move on to the next. You ran into probably 1 of the worst providers out there bro, 3 hours, calling u back, WTF, move on, shes on something.

I agree of course that none of this would have happened if you had taken a moment to see if she was well reviewed. However, whether she asked you for screening info is beside the point.
