I was in San Diego for a conference.  Prior to heading out there I found a lady I liked and tried to make contact with her and see if she would agree to meet me.  The email communication wasn't the smoothest but she did final agree to meet.  After I arrived in San Diego I contacted her and setup an outcall appointment.  Though I normally would have preferred incall this lady only had one review, and it was the only reviewer the hobbyist had posted so I was willing to take the plunge but was a little on my guard.  After she tells me she's on the way I let her know hotel key cards are needed for the elevator so she should let me know when she's arriving and I'll be waiting for her in the hotel bar.

When she's about 10 mins out she sends a text saying she wants to meet me outside to give money to her driver for her safety and I say "no thanks" I'm not going out to meet the dude.  A few minutes later she tells me it's OK, she'll come inside and meet me to get the money then head back to pay her driver, then come back in to meet me.  At this point I'm ready to bail, but you now how it goes when they have really nice pics online so I'm still OK with taking the risk.  A few minutes after that I get another text telling me she's trapped on the 11th floor because you need a hotel key to use the elevator?

At that point I punt and call it off.  As long as I've been doing this, I can honestly say this is the first time I've cancelled for a reason like this.  At the time I was thinking that this is 90% likely a ripoff.  Now I can't help but wonder if maybe she was just new to the business?

Anyway, what would you guys have done?  Stuck it out to see what happened or bail?
