that's a scene from The Great Gatsby, no need to bring the Titanic.
Everything could be a distraction in this day and age, especially if it's in your phone. My escort friends, simply say on Grindr "Visiting XX" and let guys contact them, mute, delete those who aren't a match and send pics to those they find attractive. They also block clients to avoid drama.
Please, someone didn't reply to you till you check out the next day? That's called life! I'm sure there were other interested in you that same night. Sometimes it's all about timing. I'm amazed about your ability to remember details like this, I'm sure you'd have other successful interactions on Grindr while seeing clients on a successful trip.
