An NCNS from Russia with Love: Rita Devine and Her "Uncertainty Management Strategy"

Ok, she's Ukranian but the title wouldn't work...

So I book an hour with VIP traveling provider Rita Divine a few weeks ago and scheduled a Sunday morning appointment. Before all you guys jump all over me for booking a morning appointment, an appointment is an appointment. If she can't make it, don't book it. Anyway, Rita's scheduler, who apparently cannot adjust to the rest of the country's time zones (more on that later), PMed me last night...twice...to confirm our hour session at $400. Let that sink in...$400. I take that fairly seriously. So I respond to that confirmation 55 minutes later with my phone number saying Im going to bed but that I will be there. Her scheduler, responds about two hours later...while I'm asleep...that to go the specified hotel at the specified time. I wake up this morning and send a text from the number I have for her and a PM just to make sure. Crickets...hey, it's early, of course we are on. Why wouldn't we be? I send another text while en route and crickets again. I'm getting a bit nervous (dubious is more the word) but soldier on, picking up a coffee for her to go with the nice bottle of local vodka I picked up for her (I'm a nice guy). About ten minutes prior to our big appointment, I text her to say I'm there and crickets...for the next half hour. I'm PMing the whole time too and the unconfirmed PMs are just piling up. At the self imposed 20 min limit mark, I leave and text them so. Finally, at 27 minutes after the appointment time, the scheduler texts me asking if Rita ever contacted me and I told her "no". This is where it gets good. She tells me that she and Rita argued last night over whether or not I would show up. Apparently, in LA, people don't show up for 8:00 appointments. Well, seemingly, Rita was uncertain whether I was going to come even though I had confirmed twice and provided my hobby phone number. In order to satisfy her uncertainty, she decided to remove all doubt and just not contact me. "That settles it" I'm sure she said to herself as put her eye cream on and pulled the shades. Asked as to why she couldn't answer any of my texts or PMs this morning, the scheduler, let's call her Brit McHenry for lack of a better name, told me that they are two hours behind us in LA. Hmmmmm. Well I told her that the highly confusing and technical issue of "time zones" was indeed vexing but probably not my problem. Obviously at an impasse, we seemed to go our separate ways until the famed Rita herself, in all her majesty texted me two hours after our appointment telling me that she's been texting me and to come over. I informed her that my new iPhone 12 actually makes a record of texts and the time they came in (although, admittedly I think most do). At the moment, while I'm drinking her cold latte, we are having a text exchange that I find quite enjoyable. I love listening to people make up shit. I have kids so I'm used to it.

Surprise 400 hr and has GPS? Go figure.

That sucks TerraFirma, NCNS's are a real bummer whenever they happen and with such a HDH you would expect much better response and communication to go along with the high price tag.
Sounds like you did everything right on your end and they screwed up the session.

Did they at least offer to make it up to you in some way, a discount or more time on a re-scheduled time?

One small suggestion about your post, if you would break you one large paragraph into a few smaller ones it would be easier to read.

Sorry this happened to you and thanks for sharing your disappointing experience, better luck next time.

As for my paragraph structure, my high school teachers told me the same thing and I never listened. That's probably why I never amounted to much

As for disappointment, I WAS disappointed at the time but now I'm fairly happy that I have $400 and can spend it on ladies who are worth it. There's also a nice bottle of Tito's in a decorative bag for the next lady I see

Alot of people have interest in her. Even at her price level.

The only problem I have ever heard about using her services in the past was not with her, but the scheduler. It was an instance where a Hobbyist was making a statement about not being able to see her and some others impliled that he tried to get around the scheduler. But that would be a problem with the Hobbyist breaking protocal. Not the scheduler. You want to meet her, don't piss off the first layer of contact

Nothing on her.

Her setup on TCB is professional. And it is suppose to operate that way. I, personally, like to contact the Provider in person at least once to know that everyone is on the same page.

If everything you said is true, it is a horrible break down on their end. Even to admit the squabbling on their side.

Moved from Alerts to Coed Discussions, since I don't see a safety issue that could endanger our members...

Never book with providers that are $6.66 per minute. It's bad VUDU!

That confirms the intel I had from a Hobbyist who saw her last time ...

Look at it this way: You saved 400 and can drink a whole bottle of Vodka alone...
... now had you bought Krim champagne ....

I have travel my entire life and always look like I belong at any hotel / motel. The key is looking and acting like you are actually staying there and no one will ever bother you or even give you a second look. But nothing is more suspect than a guy sitting in a running car looking at his cell phone.

Closer to $7.00 per minute than $6.00 and the BITCH can't show up!

Time for a sing a long...come on everyone join Terra and I...

I arrived a few minutes early but my 20 min rule (and I DO have one) means that at 8:20 I am out. I arrived around 7:45-7:50 and started texting with her. I like to get there a few minutes early so, ideally, I can walk in on the hour...yeah like THAT ever happens. As for being conspicuous, I've been at this almost 20 years. I know what I'm doing...I have my tactics and I have never had issues with being careless in and around an incall. I treat every session as if there are land mines. That includes not looking like a douchebag waiting to see a provider. As for specifics, I will keep that to myself

Sucks she looks hot.

It's not the land mines that get you, it is the Claymore mines from pimps and schedulers that ruin the hobby.

We should further discuss tactics later this week. I feel there is much that we might share with one another...

Gee, the OP makes it sound like his personal sense of dignity was ripped away because of a scheduling snafu. If the OP's self-imposed limit had been 30 minutes, he would have spoken to the scheduler and things might have worked out, But NOOOO, the OP's got his rules and he was out of there. Sounds like he cut his nose to spite his face.

But even more interesting are the GPS comments. Do you guys really thing $400 is enough dough to give girls delusions about their purpose and place in life? In big towns like LA, Chicago, Boston and NYC, $400 is a modest fee. So $400 in those towns wouldn't create GPS would it? And just because they come to Austin do they get a local strain of GPS which they lose when they return to the big towns?

Maybe someone can explain this GPS thing to me, or is it just an excuse not to pay more than $200-250 because those big $$$$ girls must have GPS.

And to Fox News, it is certainly true that higher fees don't "guarantee" better looks and service, but higher fees greatly improve the odds that she will be better looking and provide better service, or at least better ambiance.

But don't mind me and continue with your bitching and moaning about the sins and omissions of the providing nation.

BTW, I am not saying $400 is chump change. It is a substantial donation, but in the scheme of things it isn't all that much and shouldn't influence a providers attitude.
