Please understand that this is not meant to slam anyone . . . it's just an observation I made.
I had a session planned in north Texas with a young, hot looking provider for over two weeks - done so specifically to make sure that evening was locked in as it was the only evening I would have and I knew she was popular.
We had occasional email contact back and forth during the waiting period and a couple of times I had to remind her of the time I had reserved. I was going to an out of town conference and was only available that one evening.
She asked me to call her on the morning of our appointment date so I did - only to hear the "The number you have called has been disconnected" message. After trying again over the next hour or so and receiving the same message, I went to a computer and sent her an email asking her to call me at a number I gave her.
While on my email I saw an email from my ATF in Austin. (I had originally talked with her to see if, just by chance, she might be in north Texas on that evening but she wasn't going to be. That's when I scheduled for the lady above.) Her email said that she was considering coming to North Texas for me and to give her a call. I did and she understood the other booking I had made, and told me to just let her know what I was going to do. She's in her 30's and is absolutely an outstanding lady!
About 2 1/2 hours before my first appointment I called my ATF back and we scheduled.
Then, 2 hours before the first booking, I get a call from lady #1 and she is asking if we can move our appointment to the following day. Now I'm wondering if she had paid attention to anything we had discussed over the previous two weeks. I told her that since I hadn't been able to contact her that day I had made other plans and could not see her any other day due to my schedule. She said OK and we hung up.
Long story short . . . I drove to Waco to meet my ATF there for the BEST (by far!!!!) session I have ever had . . . EVER! But that's another story.
My points here are . . .
1. Ladies, we know that sometimes things cannot be avoided and you have to cancel or change plans. I'm OK with that. But please, at least, jot down some type of note to yourself so that it appears that you remember me from one call to another after I've booked a meeting so I don't have to keep giving the same info.
2. Maybe plan ahead a little so that your phone doesn't run out of minutes on the day that a hobbyist is going to call you.
3. Try to understand a guy's psyche. When you are known to be a great provider, consider the fact that we, as guys, are REALLY REALLY REALLY looking forward to meeting with you . . . REALLY. After anticipating and being excited about our meeting, calling two hours before and asking if you can move it back a day can be a huge letdown for some of us - kinda like waiting until Christmas Eve to tell the kids that we ain't having presents!
4. I've found in my limited history that, generally speaking, ladies who are have a few more years experience in the hobby have gotten past the "flaky" stage and seem to be a lot more reliable.
I think, for future sessions, I'm going to stay in my comfort zone.
Again, I'm not putting anyone down. This is not meant to be a negative against Lady Behind Door #1. It's just my feelings and I thought I would post them here.
Good luck!
