The responses were that you should either bring a big list of well researched ladies from the city that you plan to visit with you, or have a good book to read in case you get stood up. I choose the former. Spinner39 pointed out that you should check in with the backup ladies a few days before you visit tmake sure that they will be available on the day you would want to share time with them.

but then I got a call a few hours later and she was ready to go.

She showed up and disappointment quickly set in.

At the time, I realized I could have saved a lotta cash if I'd opted for the in-room movies.  

also, I'm wondering what time/duration was planned.  Just guessing but I'm thinking if a one-hour appt is pre arranged, then the provider receives another opportunity for a 3 hour appt, she'll cancel.   A one hour outcall appt arranged for say 9 pm might be disruptive to her evening schedule unless she's got no other plans.  At least they're calling you......

I'm also wondering if this occurs with independents or are agencies involved?  A reputable agency wouldn't tolerate this of a provider and if an agency IS involved, it would be helpful for the other passion-seekers here to post so on the Site Review section.  I'm sorry buddy.....

The experience you describe has not happened to me since I got a bit wiser and I a. research for the experienced, mature provider, b. arrange multi hour appt, and c. STOPPED USING THE YELLOW PAGES (still steaming here about a Birmingham 'occurrence').

Often we shop with our eyes. or even worse we shop with our little heads. I think back to the ladies who didnt show up or were less than professional. I somehow knew before. I read thier reviews and there usually were indicators, but because they were hot!!!! I went ahead anyway.

Not to say there are not hot and also professional ladies out there, but that is what TER is all about. Do the research and listen to what is written between the lines. An agency that has two girls who are flakes may be a trend in hiring. etc...

Could you see Sedona failing to make an appointment? Nettie, Veronica Monroe? No way! it would have to be something pretty big and you could bet you would have felt good about her not making it. Either because you were worried about her situation and you wanted her to take care of it or she would make it up to you.

I get your frustration. Ive been there and done that, but ultimately with ter or other "boards" i can make an informed choice and be responsible for my experience.

Rent a movie, save some $$$, dont get desperate.

This will happen...I know 5 times in a row is shitty but it will always happen. My best advice is to not think with your little head in that situation. I always do extensive research before I go to a city on business. If you first choice cancells, go to a backup, if they aren't available just call it a night. Rent a movie, read a book, go down to the bar...Don't let your little guy get the best of you and keep calling new girls until you get an appointment. 99% of the time if you get someone to come its going to be dissapointing. This happened to me a few weeks ago, would have been much better off saving the $$$ and getting extra time with my first choice who ended up seeing me the following night.

If I add it up, for the local ladies I see, a little more than 50 percent of the sessions have been postponed at least once.  One was downright cancelled and never rescheduled due to her health, and wasn't rescheduled, but that worked out well for me that day.

When I travelled or met a touring provider, the rate was much better.  More than 80 percent of the sessions were met as promised at the time promised.  

Still not a very good flake-rate.

Had it happen to me, too. Said her daughter had an emergency. I think they should offer a make up session at a discount, especially if you've traveled some distance, as I did.
