So, I'm not a total rookie, but still pretty new to the hobby. I'm on vacation out of state and decided to find some company while I'm here. TER doesn't have much of a presence where I am, so I headed over to BP. Found someone, exchanged texts for a while, finally set something up. No reviews, she's changed names and numbers multiple times recently, but she's saying all the right things to push all the right buttons. Shortly before our meeting, we're texting as I'm walking downtown, and as I cross the street I miss the curb and manage to break my toe. Can't walk on it, it's nasty and painful, and I end up having to cancel. Probably for the best.

Like when sleeping , You  wake up  to go to bathroom,  the lights are off , stubbing your toes Ouch!!  Which little Piggie was it?  I'd kiss it and make it feel better...Anyway Allways Lessons To Be Learned.. Xoxo

Ok I have been nice girl not call bullshit in anything a few days now.

do not text while you are walking, especially on a busy street.  This time it was your toe, the next time you might get hit by a bus.

fate got you to the incall early and you saw her pimp beat and rob the previous john, or
fate got you there a late, and the vice squad was pulling their sting because you were a no-show.

You don't even have to go to a doc for that.  Just tape the bad toe to the one(s) next to it and take a pain killer.  Yes, the universe is trying to tell you you're dumb.
Oh, and to answer your question, circumstances have not HAD to save me from anything because I did my homework first and don't see BP girls with no reviews.

I am sure you still remember that pig you almost took upstairs your last day in CR a couple of years back. If that hog ever got a review, you'd have to look for it in the livestock section. lol

Your analogy is wrong.  It's wrong because in the case of the OP he did no homework and had little idea what the hooker-in-question actually looked like.  I, OTOH, had that cow right in front of me and I STILL might have taken her upstairs.  But only for a BJ with all her clothes on.  rofl.
I owe you one, as her little friend who showed up just in time was decent-looking.
I will repay your good offices as soon as I see you about to take the plunge with a chica fea.  But since I've never seen you with a fugly perhaps it's a promise of no value.  LOL.

So, general consensus is I'm an idiot. I'll take that. I know all the rules, I've lurked here for a long time, and still almost did something stupid. Good news is, I just booked with a very well reviewed provider for a few days from now. I had a moment of weakness, trying to book same day. Could have really cost me long term, and I'm glad it didn't.

This one reads. Watch your step dummy!!!!!

first one was my very first experience....I didn't realize the office and the condo building were two blocks apart.  She's looking for me and I'm looking for her.  I figure it out and had the session.  The bad decision was to start the hobby as it eventually cost me my marriage and my family.  

no feas, no gordas y no Viejas
