An explanation for all you hobbyists...

So, I do not normally post on the boards. I usually try to stay UTR for the most part. However, recent events (and issues) have made it necessary for me to speak up.

To you hobbyists that have met me you all know I am a very sincere, down-to-earth and sweet lady. I'm also usually very dependable and try my VERY BEST to never make a promise I cannot keep. That includes appointments as well. I do not like to waste anyones time, as I wouldn't want mine wasted either.

Yet, recent events in my personal life have taken a toll on me physically, emotionally and mentally and it has begun to affect my business as well. If I'm not mistaken a recent (bad) review has been posted about me, stating I NCNSed this gentleman. I am an honest person, and as much as I would like to make excuses for this...I can't. This has happened, and not only once, but twice to the same gentleman.
In my defense...this is not at all typical for me. The first time I had scheduled something with this gentleman something had came up with my babysitter, and I had to get to my children. I had had to cancel on several dates I had already set up and I had forgotten to contact this gentleman and let him know because I was in a hurry. This resulted in a NCNS. :'(
He contacted me and expressed his frustrations. And I totally understood and asked him if I could make it up to him. He accepted my request and we set up another date and time to meet. And as I stated earlier, recent events in my personal life have drained me emotionally and mentally (and almost physically). I didn't completely forget that we were supposed to meet, but I did think our date was scheduled 5 hours after the real date was supposed to take place. Which resulted in me contacting him AFTER the already scheduled date. He is very frustrated with me, and has every right to be. I cannot even begin to express in words how HORRIBLE I feel for this happening. (I even cried).
It isn't the bad review I'm worried about, it's the feelings of this gentleman that I'm more concerned with. And I want all you gentlemen to know that this isn't at all the typical experience with me.
I am a single mother and am trying to get things straight for my children and myself at the moment. And to all you gentlemen that have been understanding and patient with me, I TRULY appreciate it and will definitely make it up to you in the near future.

A straight admission of responsibility and an apology. Nice. I hate people that try to weasel out of responsibility.

If she does something privately to make it up to the person that received the lousy service she will have handled this professionally.

Yes, probably the best ncns thread I've read by far! I read about the situation, and understand both sides. Your admission, and not trying to sugar coat or make excuses shows your character; and I must admit for not having met you, I am impressed! I hope everything gets situated and works out for you, and I'm pretty sure with your post, most guys will overlook the incident or not let it factor into their decision to see you...I know its not an issue for me! Hopefully you and the hobbyist can overlook what transpired, and work something out. They always say third time's a charm!

ditto here on the +1, Heather.

Congrats on taking responsibility and I wish you the best of luck

Having seen her a few times, I can attest the words she wrote mirror the person.

To the party that is being addressed, you won't go wrong if you choose to see her still.

It's moments like these that make me truly appreciate the community we have here on ECCIE. I hope this story has a happy ending for both parties (in more ways than one-wink wink!)

Awesome thread and very awesome of the provider to explain what happened. :-)

Very nice and well said! Best of luck...

Great to see a lady take responsibility for her actions! That is a respectful provider!

Sexy 'n' discreet, I have a lot respected for you. YOU are a single mother and kids come first in our life. Also guys should be able to understand your situation that you had to cancel. It was for a good reason sometimes we can't help that things that go wrong at times. Hey, we all forget stuff from time to time.. Also we are not perfect people..;-)

Sexy 'n' discreet keep your head and keep smiling...

Have to agree with those that have commented on your post. Your attitude and explanation will go a long way in keeping your reputation intact. Best of luck to you,with your RL issues.

Well said.

Nobody is perfect and this is an an honest reflection and post.

SnD appeared a year ago and I made attempts then to hook up when she went off the radar screen. And though it took me awhile to finally see you in person it was well worth the wait.

Time for all to move on.
