Sorry to hear about your cancellations, Marea.
I"m looking forward to our upcoming date! I won't cancel on you, that's for sure!!

Re: Take a road trip to Minneapolis

I am sure we would love to meet your aquaintance here in the Twin Cities.  A couple of days here would work...sign me up!

While I don't have dates every day, or even every month or 6 months, for that matter.
When I do I look forward with great anticipation to the meeting.
The excitement of seeing an old friend or meeting someone new is a big part of the appeal for me.
And yes, I agree with you, it's just the sex.

So when circumstances happen and one or the other has to cancel, I do miss it very much.
But I am always quick to try to setup a makeup date, though.

So, yes, you are not alone if your feelings.
Don't let those feelings go away as you get more involved. You attitude is what will make you something special and make you stand out.

Just my opinion...

I feel the same way. I love my regular clients, and there is also the charge of who will be on the other side of the door. I have met some of the most intensely interesting men this way.

Sorry to hear your week has had some disappointment.  Anytime an experience is expected and then is canceled Some disappointment is natural.  I hope your week gets better, although it seems that this may be good for your ex and the bartender if they are the accidental beneficiaries. LOL.  Wish I was there to help out.  Definitely will look you up next time I am in the area though.

About a week and a half ago I had the same provider cancel on me twice within 4 days, the second being the re-schedule of the first - both times less than an hour before the date - well reviewed and had seen her 3 times without incident before.  A different provider noshow/nocall/noanswered me on a 1st appt, thus wasting > 2 hours in drive and sit waiting time.  She then posted ads about Sun availability 12-10 and when I called to take her up on discount/freetime offer from flaking she said she was out-of-town - WTF did u post an ad 24 hours ago for then and bail town????  To top it off an agency cancels because the girl missed one flight and then delays had her miss connections on others.

All charged up for each one and then OUCH!  It blows for either side of the equation!

Wow!  After seeing your pics, I can't imagine 5 guys canceling on you in the same week.  What a bunch of losers they are.  Let me know if you decide to take a vacation to Tampa.  I wouldn't cancel on you.

Re: Cancellations and feeling lonely..

Come to Chicago, I'll book with you as soon as you have your plans set and WON'T cancel.

thats natural - to feel rejection whether its real or not- i feel the same way when i get canceled on- or flaked on- even though i know its just business

I consider you 'normal'!  Even in my business some of what I do is isolated.... and while I love what I do, I also like human interaction...

and I agree, it is nice meeting new people!  Especially when you are not with them long enough to experience the "frictional" spots.... and long to be away from them! lol!!! you'll do fine... you sound well adjusted to me!
