In my defense

Sometimes a Client and a Lady don't click. S--t happens. My experience with Betty was much better than those two guys. I guess that is why it is a YMMV thing. From my own experience, treat a Lady right and she will treat you right. Works in the Hobby and Non-Hobby world. Leon Russell says it it in a song: If you treat your woman like you treat yourself, everything will be just fine.

Did you treat her right in your opinion?

E.A., Did not get the chance. She changed the time as I was driving to our appointment. Then, less than 5 minutes later, cancelled completely with no explanation. So, I crossed her off my list. My guess is that I was bumped for a last minute Regular. Treating people right works from both sides. She never offered to make it up, reschedule or anything else.

Did you show her respect, treat her the way you wanted to be treated and she still flaked on you? You still had contact with her.

My point was being respectful and treating a person right does not always equal the same in return. I'm sure plenty of ladies can attest to this as well.

Since this thread is about Betty, not Isabella, I will only add this last comment about both. When Isabella cancelled 15 minutes before our scheduled time, I contacted Betty and we met within an hour of the cancellation. So, if I sound all White Knighty, so be it. This was my experience with both Ladies on that day.

Sounds like you are burned out.......it will only get worse from here.......ijs Originally Posted by dearhunter

You blame me for accepting a date when you were emotionally unprepared to participate, at any level. That is why you got up and left.
And, YES you did get up from your seat and walked to the door and left me alone in the room that I had rented at your request.
Perhaps you honestly do not remember it that way.
So there will remain things about which we disagree.

I am not defending myself. When you sounded stressed on the phone, I should have said, "Maybe another time." When you told me your problems, I suggested an extended session might be a win-win. We negotiated on the phone. You readily accepted. Things did not pan out.

As your friend said, Get back up on the horse and ride. Or find another horse (way to make a living). I am not the first to report on your inconsistency.

For me this is water under the bridge. (Although some WK's may try to light me up.) Life is too short to hold grudges.

I wish you well, really. I hope your circle of friends can rally around you and help you through this crisis and that you come out the better for it. Really.
Now I suggest you let it go and get on with life.

As Forrest said, "That's all I have to say about that."

Oralist you took my post as an attack on you and that was not what I was doing. Too many people act as if all it takes is to do people right and you get the same in return.

That is not the case. While its the way it should be unfortunately it isn't.

I always think of this:

A bird was sitting on the ground on a beautiful spring day. He's chirping merrily along. Little did the bird realize he's sitting behind a cow. Suddenly, the cow puts out a humongous shit which covers the bird in cow dung. However, after a moment, the bird realizes the cow dung feels warm and moist. It actually feels great! So he starts up another cheerful tune, this time even louder and more expressive, pouring his heart out about his happiness.

A nearby cat hears the bird, wanders over, plucks the bird out and eats it.

The moral of the story is, the person who shits on you is not necessarily your enemy, and the person who pulls you out of the shit is not necessarily your friend.

Not sure it applies in this specific situation, but it applies a lot of the time.

No offense taken, E.A.
