My libido is a bit more demanding than yours, for me to go two whole weeks without getting laid would probably result in a dozen dogs getting kicked and a couple of dozen employees getting fired. lol

An ATF posts she's going to be in town in a couple of weeks.  You try to schedule, but its early or she's bad with e-mail, testing the demand, whatever, but you don't hear back.  The libido has gotten going, but you try to let a couple of days go by.  In the meantime,  you start to look around for another alternate, pull the trigger on somebody more available.  

Now she gets back to you!  

Just spent my budget for the month, maybe next time?  I can wait a couple of weeks if I know something's scheduled. Can't stand not having something scheduled once I'm worked up, though.

Its called. Life-is-unfair-but-I-fail-to-realize syndrome..

cancellation.

And you were NEXT on the list.

It's apparent that you're slowing down as you age.  It would've been much worse just a couple years ago.

I see providers that post a week before their arrival. One would think that her expectations of her clients would prebook a week ahead after seeing the ad. Makes sense. Well, most providers allow this time frame of a week after they post their ad to properly book their appointments and screen. And, some do.

In my recent instant, I saw a provider post an ad one week before her arrival. I sent her an e-mail on the first day I saw the ad. This allowed her 7 days to confirm the appointment. 5 days past, she didn't reply. On the day of her arrival, I called and left a message. Nothing. The second day, I sent a text, and got nothing.

Some providers can't properly manage their schedules. Or, they don't practice professionalism as it relates to promptness. No biggie, you was fair to her, but she wasn't with you. You gave her long term notice, but she gave short term notice. I don't think that is respectful practice. Its kinda like you were at the bottom of the barrel, after she saw who she wanted to see.

In instances like these, you really can't blame yourself. You took the proper steps, and she didn't. So, what can one do but to move on.

she is due to arrive for a 3-day visit. Not sure about the rest of the hobbyists in TER land, but I can't change my schedule around on short notice.

I  called my regular lady .. she didn't answer back for hours.  Then, I called her Roommate who also provides and she's available (they both share hotel rooms most of the time).  I set an appointment.  My regular text back that she's now available.   Then, she text me and said "oh, but you set an appointment with my roommate?"  I said 'yeah, cuz I didn't hear from you.  You want me to fuck you or her?  She said "me me me".   Went to hotel room, both ladies were there - I just gave her roommate a tip and fucked her.   Anyway, last time I saw my regular, she had her period and she asked me to fuck her roommate, which I enjoyed very much - hence, the repeat.  I do like both ladies.
