A well reviewed, supposedly "elite" independent cancelled on me within 15 minutes of the appointment.  She just decided she didn't want to keep the appointment -- after specifically CONFIRMING an hour earlier!  I really HATE that! She was even the one who emailed ME to ask if I could schedule something with her!!!

Too many great providers out in DC to let this time waster get to you!!! It sucks professionalism is out the window these days... That goes for both parties!!! Be considerate people!!! Consideration is free to do & doesn't cost a cent!!!

... and it's happening with greater frequency. I had to adjust my schedule to accommodate a meeting.

And that’s what she said? Out her, who is it?

Just move on! Gemma is right, too many great ladies out there to get caught up on one provider

You already got 3 responses from new potential providers!!! Lol. Can't control what you can't control. Sorry it happened to you, but her loss of business. GL.

but go ahead, try to Man Up!!!  

It’s never okay for either party to cancel at the last minute unless there is a true emergency - just common courtesy to extend to the other person involved!  

You don't know me at all.

After I cancelled a meeting, left the office early, travelled to and parked at her hotel, she sent me a text saying that she decided to not go through with the appointment after all. When I inquired what the problem was, she replied that she MIGHT see me at some point, but only if I provided her with additional personal and employment information above and beyond the screening information she had already requested and had been given.

She offered NOTHING except the possibility of seeing me at some other time, if I provided personal and employment information above and beyond the screening information she had already requested and had been given. I declined. If she can't be trusted to keep an appointment, why should I trust her with THAT? My sense is that she got a more lucrative offer at the last minute and she decided to take it and cancel in me.

The solution is that I'll never bother with her going forward. There's too much downside for publicly exposing/shaming her.

Oh she got cold feet. Screening information needs to be sufficient enough that they get a warm fuzzy feeling and believe what you provided was enough. Apparently not. It sucks if as you say she lost that confidence 15mins before the time you were to meet. Not something most well known providers would do.

She had my non-alias ter id with a long list of well known whitelists, along with specific references from my two most recent providers. She said all was "great" and that she looked forward to seeing me soon and then gave me the hotel name about an hour before the appointment. All communications were via email. 45 minutes later, she sent me an email telling me that she changed her mind. We had gone back and forth for several days prior to setting the appointment. I made an initial inquiry with her a couple of months earlier, but she was unavailable then. A week ago, she sent me an email saying that she had some availability coming up and invited me to book an appointment. You know the rest.  

Dude we all get a fair dose of being burned like that cause it goes with the territory.  Who knows . . . you find out in this hobby that some providers are reliable, courteous pros that can meet every facet of your fantasy . . .
others are inconsiderate amateurs that have lots of personal issues (drugs, rearing kids, abusive relations) that are so outta control that it's hard for them to balance work appointments - don't take it personal.  Chalk it off for funds saved for a better provider experience.  

Jerk

LOL, well played.

So, I cannot really make a comment on the cancellation or the screening issue because I feel like there is a lot of missing information. It's happened to me too.

Wow, that's incredibly unprofessional. Like someone stated, if it was an emergency then OK, but she should have alerted you of that and offered a solution or discount for the next time. Obviously things can come up that are out of our control. But if her reason for not showing up was because she got cold feet and wanted additional screening AFTER confirming the appointment, that's unacceptable. I get all of the required screening info first and I have to feel, without a doubt, comfortable before confirming anything with anyone. It's a waste of time for both parties, in this case, especially for you. You could be right, she may have received a call from someone who wanted a longer session or was going to compensate her more. I've had a similar situation happen when I first started where I was tempted to cancel last minute because someone wanted to meet me for a lengthier session but the appointment would have clashed with the one I had already confirmed. I ended up telling the inquiring gentleman that I was not available but offered another date for us which he gladly accepted and everyone was happy. Not that that fairytale ending happens often, but the point is, you just have to do the right thing and maintain a reputation of reliability and professionalism. With that said, shit happens....it's unfortunate when you have your expectations set high just to be screwed over, but don't let that bad experience ruin it for you. There's lots of lovely professional ladies out there who show up! xoxo

I am still not happy with a similar happening recently. I got a "I am sorry baby", message. And a "I will make it up to you next time I am in town", message. What does that even mean? It would have been a first time appt, I feel I got blown off for something better. Is booking only an hour, mean that I might get an appt until someone who books a longer appt and want my time slot, gets the girl? Sorry, anger issues still raging.

I've had that happen to me with a provider that visits DC. If she was a visiting provider, I bet I can venture a guess or two. That has only happened to me twice in recent memory. I talked back channel with a buddy of mine and 'surprise' in one case it was the same provider who bailed on both of us. Evidently overbooked clients for her tour.

My guess would be she saved screening until the last minute and then realized she didn't have enough information to feel confident in keeping the appointment. I'm sorry for the inconvenience it caused you! I absolutely agree she should have offered extra time or a discount, etc. next time to make up for it and as a show of good faith. Echoing others, there are so many wonderful providers locally and touring here; it's not worth pursuing ladies who aren't professional, or who can't at least try to make up for/own up to mistakes. Best of luck and hope your next experience is simple and enjoyable!

Can someone translate what he/she said? It looks like English words, but not in the right order and missing punctuation and necessary verb age. Thanks in advance!

LoL seriously you can’t translate?  

OH - I got your translation payment ready Biggest Tool in the TER shed. I will be glad to put it where the sun don't shine.
