...who wanted to see me to come visit. None bothered answering my emails.
But that is true for NYC....a lot of no shows etc...on both ends. I agree with you!

Good questions Allison.
First, the jerks are the ones who cancel and you wouldn't want them as a client anyway.
Second as far as pre booking, that can be a problem. When I was single, pre booking was easy.
Now that I am married, unless my you know who is out of town, I can't possibly pre book because what if something happens and she needs me around for whatever reason. Then I would have to cancel which I have rarely done.
The crazy thing about pre booking is unless you have seen the lady before, the chances are she won't allow you to pre book. How many ads are there out there where it says don't call unless you are ready to see me.
Then there is the other situation where I have called well in advance (prior to being attached at the hip), made an appointment, driven into NYC and then the provider says sorry you have to wait I have someone.
On occasion the phone rang and rang and she didn't pick it up.
I got really annoyed one time when she wouldn't see me after a long drive. She did pick up the phone and I said that I made an appointment, I have driven 45+ minutes to see you and here I am, why did you take someone else?
Her response was that she had no shows in the past and she didn't know that I was really going to show so this cancellation stuff hurts both ways.
I live and work on Long Island, an hours drive to NYC (with moderate traffic) and that is a reason why I won't make a special trip into NYC to see anyone unless I have seen her before and she knows me.
