Why do providers make an appointment, tell you everything is set, and then you never hear from them again after that? Are they rolling in so much cash that a few hundred dollars missed here and there and potential clients being pissed off at them doesn't mean anything?
I have been a member here since March and have had a grand total of two (2!) providers here on Eccie follow through with their appointments. I had a provider leave me hanging again last night with no communication after telling me she looked forward to our meeting (3.5 hours before the appointment) - and I log in today to see two reviews on her in my town. She wasted several hours of my busy weekend and actually had me worrying about her safety - seriously how long does it take to fire off an email saying "Sorry, something came up. I can't make it" or "Let's reschedule this."
Canceling an appointment doesn't anger most normal people - wasting people's time by treating them like dogs unworthy of communication does make people mad.
I'm sure it goes both ways with clients no-showing and being flaky and all, but I'm really starting to get tired of this. I have slowed down trying to make appointments with providers lately (yesterday was my first attempt in 2 weeks) since it seems in 90% of cases it ends up being a complete waste of time for me.
I will be happy to explain. Whether you guys realize it or not, traveling 5 hours from my home is not an easy task for a younger, single, independent female. I am a low volume provider and am not an experienced touring girl, nor care to be, but made a very good effort to get out to your town/area to see you guys. I am going to continue to travel a bit if the interest is there once or so a month. When you are away in a hotel room and not used to the comforts at home not being available, it is a bit difficult to juggle ALOT of communication coming in. Everybody has different schedules and different ways of communication leading up to the actual appointment, not to mention cancellations by gentleman (4 if you are curious). I drove 5 hours and had a very nice trip and met some very nice guys but did not intend to not see anyone. I know the ladies on the board can relate with what I am saying. Not to mention discretion is important to us all, and it is not an easy task meeting new friends in a new unknown area. i dont want to come across rude or mad, but I just want to communicate why this happened. 
I have asked the wrong questions in pm's to one or two providers in the past, I guess it was wrong since I never got a response.
again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
