What is YOUR excuse for being late?

Personally, I would rather have a lady lie to me big time than to tell me her previous appointment is late. Tell me anything, I don't care - say traffic is bad, your mom stopped by, you got hung up on a call with your ex, your place is a mess and you're still cleaning up, etc, etc. Any comments?

She didn't string you along like has happened to me on occasion. I've been told she's running a little late, can we push back the time 15 minutes. Then 20 minutes later, it's I'm getting ready and I'll call you in 10 minutes. Then, you call her 15 minutes later and she doesn't answer. Etc., etc. I don't mind a white lie or a vague excuse about why she needs to reschedule, but at least give an accurate estimate of how long the delay is going to be. So, I think the takeaway for escorts is: 1) don't schedule appointments back-to-back, 2) don't talk to one client about seeing other clients earlier that day, 3) when a guy is running so late that he messes up your schedule, put the negative consequences on him, or perhaps if the late guy is such a great client or it's just a mix up, go out of your way to make it up to the guy you bumped (reduced rate? extra time?), and 4) don't string us along!

lisa.lisa, et al yeah I should have said I was disappointed and would prefer not to deal with someone who does stuff like that. However, that's easier said than done at the moment it occurs. For me, strong emotions can quickly lead to a case of foot in mouth. So yeah, I responded with a lie to try for two reasons - 1) to let the lady know I would not be coming and not keep her waiting around and 2) so that I didn't say something asinine.

Why are you such a bitter person? Originally Posted by Waldo P. Emerson-Jones

have you been reading any threads/posts from the ladies lately?

Or how about this one (client to provider) "Sorry you were my plan b, and the girl i really wanted to see is able to make it" OUCH... never experienced this one, and hope i never do lol!

BUT one i did experience last night... after asking a guy for his refs he replied "if you are going to give me a hard time, there are plenty of girls who will see me" i nicely told him "if you consider screening you to be giving you a hard time, you may be better off contacting one of those ladies... but be careful." his reply "Thats ok, while u were giving me a hard time i found a younger gorgeous girl" i found this funny since i just turned 26, so iam not old! but told him to have a good time! he replied "quit cheating on your man" HU??? Weirdo!

MM, Sorry that happened to you last nite. Brush it off like the dirt he is. Unfortunately some people think that putting someone else down is going to somehow make up for their own considerable shortcomings.

Nevermind, this thread is wacky enough without that post.

I would have flat out told her that the first gut's appointment should have been cancelled and that she should have bounced him and honored my appointment. And I would never have given her the impression that I would ever darken her door again. This gal needs to learn that if you stand somebody up in a situation like that, you loose a customer for life.

And I'd name the gal. I think you're doing us a disservice. By not letting us know who thus gal is. My hobbling is limited by my lack of time to hobby. If I schedule an appointment and a girl flakes out on me, it may be three or four weeks before I'm back in town with a window of opportunity to hobby.
