I'm not exactly a novice, but I just moved to Chicago and haven't seen any providers yet. I got the urge tonight, so I called up an agency I found on eros that had a few good reviews on TER. Not surprisingly for a Sunday night, only one provider was available. The agency calls her to confirm the time.

A few minutes later I get a text that the provider will be a little late. No big deal. About 15 minutes before the scheduled time, I get another text saying the provider will be another 20 minutes or so late because she's been drinking. Uh oh. I text back saying I'm not cool seeing a drunk provider, but the agency says she's just had a couple drinks with friends. I get the address for the incall apartment and head over. When I arrive, the agency tells me to wait five minutes and then buzz up to the apartment.

So after five minutes, I walk up to the building and there's a group of three people already there--two women and a man. I'm close enough to overhear the woman's cell phone conversation. She's asking to be let up to apartment #X, where X is the same apartment number I've been given. She's buzzed in and all three walk in together. I, on the other hand, turn around immediately and hail a cab.

I sent a text to agency describing what I saw and that I'm sorry, but I just can't walk into that situation. They try to re-assure me, but I'm already on my way home.

I didn't think it was LE. The worst thing I could imagine was that I could've been robbed. Or it could have just been a really awkward session with drunk buddies giggling in the next room. Either way, I wasn't up for it.

So, was I right to listen to my gut? Or was I being too cautious?
