my time is THAT tight.  I don't want to rush myself or the lady.  I can't imagine trying to get unwound when wound that tight!  I think in that case I'd just book a quickie BBBJ, like 30 min.
Basically if it gets to 10 min, I'd call her (if she hadnt called) No answer or voicemail...I'm gone at 15.  I've been very lucky and never had this happen, but that's how I'd handle it.

Some days I have flexible schedule, while other days I plan things pretty tight, and if the gal is running late on our pre-arranged time, I may have to bail.  

So how late is too late?  and it's OK for the guy to bail?

I'd say 30 mins is an easy pass, and if I had told her in advance that I was running a very tight schedule, maybe even 15 mins.

I'm sure there will many opinions on this.  Speaking for myself, I don't like being rushed, even if self imposed, and I certainly don't want to walk in at 15 after the hour and start a dialog that since the start time wasn't honored, the terms should be adjusted.  Sometimes it's just better to call it off when the start time slips too far past the agreed upon time... but how much is too far?

...as there is communication. Life has it's little blips and things come up.  As long a gent calls to tell me he's running late with a new arrival time, or a reschedule for a later time I have no problem. That of course is based upon delays/rescheduling not interferring with other plans I may have. Now....if he is discourteous and does not communicate with me, after 15 minutes I consider the appt canceled. There will be NO nookie for him. Not from me anyway.

during the day when I have been able to arrange some downtime in my workday schedule.  If the appointment is the end of the day when work is over, then time is not as critical--up to a point.  

Once I was seeing a lady (end of the day) when I was traveling for business and she got into a minor car wreck on her way to see me.  She let me know the situation with multiple phone calls and everything was fine once she arrived.

things do happen in the real world as we all know to well. Who hasn't run into a problem with something that has made them late for a very important date.

If either person is running the least bit late a phone call should be made to explain. someone running even 15 minutes late could short change the session time and 30 minutes late should be the cutting off period unless other arrangements are made.

I'm in sales so you couldn't have said it better. As long as there's phone communication I can deal with an escort running late, within reason. Im fortunate in the fact, I work for myself and when I hobby, I usually leave the time after my session open, so I don't have any more business for that day.

Like you, sometimes I have some flexibility and if the lady is running a little late and I can stay a little late -- that's fine.

But there are other times when I essentially have a plane to catch. I have little flexibility in my "end time." Therefore, getting started late means the provider has no way of extending the date to make up for it. (i.e, *I* am the clock-watcher.)

Most providers I've seen charge about as much as my lawyer. I don't dispute that for even an instant because anyone willing to see me earns every penny. (*grin*)

However, in cases where I have an inflexible end time; there certainly comes a point where it would be difficult for me to get what I am paying for.

In those cases -- of which providers are informed in advance -- I believe at the 15 minute point, I am entirely justified in canceling or rescheduling.

After all, just like a provider -- MY time is valuable, and I have a life.

I believe traffic was trying to address the problem that when a lady is late and in order to get back on HER schedule--she cuts you short by say 15 minutes (giving you 45 min instead of the 60 which was arranged for.) Should not the cost of the date be adjusted? A $ 300 hr date then being $ 225 ?????

Sure, if the rate is $600/hr and the date has to be cut short by 15 minutes -- deducting $150 seems fair.

However, there comes a point where it just doesn't work. There's a reason why most providers don't offer 30 minute appointments -- even the providers know they can't offer a good experience in that amount of time. At that point, the solution is not to deduct $300 -- but to instead reschedule.

Sometimes things really DO come up -- kids, spouses, on-call at work, car accidents, etc. Entirely understandable.

But, sometimes when these things come up, they render the appointment impossible.

That's not, IMO, a bad mark against the person at all. It's not a case where you "terminate with extreme prejudice." You simply reschedule.

Thankfully, *most* of the time I'm able to schedule so I have enough flexibility that it isn't a big deal anyway. But in cases where I don't have a lot of wiggle room; I think a reschedule where the lady ultimately gets her full fee at a later time is better than pro-rating.

and you haven't heard a peep or text from her on your cell.

to make it simple, I think most of us would agree that waiting 5 minutes is fine...

whereas waiting an hour or more is generally foolish...

so where is the tipping point?

and that's only if she called. If there is no phone call, I think 15 minutes is reasonable.

and it's a respect level....I always take into consideration that I might run into traffic..if I am on time I feel as though I am late...I like to arrive 10-15 minutes early...I'm providing a service...that means I need to be on time..prepared..and ready for Fun...lol..You are being far to generous in giving 30 mins...upon arrival if she is Not there she should be calling You and then the two of You can determine whether You still want her to come or Not...if there is no communication I say You can call it off after 10 minutes...what are You suppose to do wait and see if she is going to show up or Not????

,,because having hardwood beyond that, I've read, is not  recommended!


Otherwise, I'm not really sure just how long.  With absolutely no communication, prolly 15 - 20 mins max.
