I get back on Seeking after several years. Look around, find a very intriguing profile. We message, then we text, then we talk on the phone.  She's very interesting.  I offer $300 and she says yes, but she wants to meet first.  We meet to get to know each other -- she is petite, gorgeous, I would rank a 9 on looks and body.  We talk for two hours and then end up making out fairly intensely in the parking lot for another 30 minutes.  Very, very sweet.   We set a date for Thursday.  On Thursday, I get a dayuse hotel room. I go to pick her at 10 am, as we discussed.  She is an hour late.  We get some food, go back to the room. She eats and then says it needs to be $500 just to talk and more if we have sex.  I offered $400.  So, after some discussion, we decide not to do anything. I take her home.  A few days later, I write to her saying basically that I hoped she would reconsider at $400. She writes back immediately and says she was thinking about it, and yes she agrees to that.  Then, two hours later, she writes back and says no, she changed her mind.  I say ok, thanks for clarifying, but not clear what you are doing on seeking to begin with.  She says she usually gets $800-$1000.  At that point, I say "that's out of my league."   I know that SB/SD can work because I had a great relationship a few years ago.  But this was so close to a great relationship and then flamed out.  Very frustrating or maybe I dodged a bullet. In any case, I just needed to vent/rant.  Thanks for reading!
