Bummer - I got my first NC/NS – I need some input
Background
Having had wonderful hobby experiences in Dallas once I learned how to do my homework on the ladies I want to see (thanks ASPD and now ECCIE!), I have lucked out several times and now have a few ATFs that consistently deliver outstanding service. I see them frequently. I figured I can do the same in Austin. My business is growing there and I can certainly start developing some relationships with Austin providers.
I posted a question in the Austin Locker Room “Who is the girl that best represents Austin?” Kudos to the board members from Austin, I quickly got several responses and the trends were easy to see, a few names repeated several times. This was my preliminary selection.
I do my homework. I check their reviews, board posts, websites and reviews on other boards… The top Austin ladies have outstanding reputation (at least in paper). In the process I decide who is my top choice.
I have my P411 in order with not a lot but a few “okays” from my wonderful ATFs here in Dallas so I decide to contact the top provider in my list.
Contacting the “provider”
My first contact, via P411 messaging, asks her to check my P411 to see if we are a good match and also request her availability for the days I am going to be in town. She responds that we are a good match but tells me it is too early to setup an appointment and asks me to email her at most a month ahead of the planned appointment.
I contact her again a few weeks ahead via P411 appointment request and she replies “that day and time works for sure”. Great we have a time to play!!!
I contact her via email five days before the appointment and she sends me the initial instructions to reach her place and her phone number.
I confirm again via email one day before and I get no response (1 red flag).
The day of the appointment
I call her 40 minutes before the appointment before driving to her place but her phone is cutting off and I have a hard time leaving a message. Not knowing if the message got through I send her another email telling her I am on my way. No response (2 red flag).
I arrive at her place 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled time and I call her number. No response. I leave a voice mail.
The NS/NC and the excuses
I get a call back from her. She tells me she forgot about my appointment, that she is very sorry and offers to reschedule. I have no more time to play in this trip and I let her know I am from out of town so it will be hard to reschedule (clearly she didn't take the time to learn who I was). She promises she will make it up to me and offers me a one or two hour session at half the price, my choice.
I feel like SHIT! I did my homework, (1) she came recommended by ECCIE hobbyists, (2) she has good reviews here, (3) she has good reviews in other boards. I don’t know what went wrong? What happened? I get a huge disappointment feeling that will later hang out with me in my trip back to Dallas. At a loss for words I politely tell her to email me her offer so she won’t forget and hang up the phone.
Shortly after I receive an email from her. She confirms her makeup offer and repeats her “sorry”. She tells me “I hate to disappoint people”. Gosh is that what I am to her… people? No! I am a person. A guy who (1) took the time to plan the appointment, (2) a guy who carefully shaved his balls per her preference documented other board posts, (3) a guy who meticulously cleaned his body in preparation and (4) most importantly a guy who could have been having a wonderful time with another Austin provider. Gosh for more than $200 an hour you would think she could take the time to read my profile and try to learn who I am. By the way, my profile is very simple it would take less than 2 mins to read it.
It has been a few days since the NC/NS and my feelings have cooled down. Personally I forgive the provider; I have made mistakes in the past too. Plus the money I was planning to spend with her has now been throughly enjoyed with some of Dallas finests. However, from a hobby perspective what is reasonable and good for everyone? Should I write a NC/NS review? Keep in mind she does have a good reputation...
Questions to the providers
Would you post an alert on a hobbyist who NC/NS a previously confirmed appointment?
Would you schedule another appointment with someone who NC/NS you in the past?
Do you expect some kind of compensation when this happens? Full rate? Half rate?
If for some reason you NC/NS someone in the past… were you able to put this behind you and have a good relationship with them?
Should I write a NC/NS review for this provider? Or should I put her at the bottom of the list?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Questions to the hobbyists
Should I post a NC/NS review?
What is acceptable compensation for a NC/NS? Would you accept her offer for a half price makeup session?
Should I just move on and visit others? Austin has wonderful options.
Any advice from the vets would be appreciated.
How to improve my game
I think the biggest mistake I made was letting the fantasy of seeing her grow in my mind. I tend to obsess about perfection and this is what makes me successful in business and life (sometimes in sex too!). Going forward I will only let myself obsess over providers I know and trust. What do you think?
As offensive as her NC/NS was I think this provider wanted to see me (and get my donation, of course, ha!). She is just unorganized and is letting this mess her business. From now on, I will be more hands-on when scheduling with unknown providers. I will require an in person confirmation (via phone) before heading out to a session (or shaving my balls!). Of course in the vast majority of cases this is too much trouble... so I guess I will spend more time with the ladies I know here in Dallas.
