Ok...this part I'm the one who is clueless. I did not know women see men that late. (??) I had no clue. I didn't even think to put a stop time. Thought it goes without saying that 1am is way too late, not to mention the short last minute notice unless you're a 24/7 on-call physician or IT person called for emergency. I will specify on my profile now. I could be online answering email during late at night relaxing but having an appt that late...I don't want to do. Thanks for all the input! and no, don't be sorry...no one lost cause no one did anything he/she didn't want to do.

Not THAT big of a deal and there is also a little something to be said about not being a "seasoned pro" and having thought about all of the possibilities.
You made your decision on the side of safety and that's always smart. However, it is one thing to have a positive, healthy self image and another to take up the tone you did in some of your earlier posts. Like I said, there may have been an outside agitator involved - the glass(es) of wine. I've been guilty of that, too - especially several decades ago when I was your age.
Well, one lives and learns. We could use some sophistited, level headed, thoughtful and intelligent YOUNG providers around here. Keep making the right moves as you have in clarifying your availability. And, take a deep breath and don't break out the claws until a few hours have passed.
Good luck and don't sweat this too much. Plenty of the good providers around here have made some unforced errors, made the adjustments they thought necessary and now enjoy a good reputation and client base.
