What is it with DC escorts??

Why do appointments hardly ever work out??

 

My work takes me to DC for 2-3 days once a year, sometimes twice in a year.

 

When there I try to take advantage of the opportunity and schedule some time with a DC working guy, some of whom are just to my liking.

 

Four times out of five appointments in the last 5 years they have broken the date at the last minute or not showed up. This was with four different guys on three different trips. And before any wise ass here says it was because I am an ugly troll, let me say that in each case this was a first date, they had never seen me, and I don't send pictures. So even if I am an ugly troll, which I'm not, that couldn't be the reason. Plus, I hire in a lot of places, and DC is the only place where this happens, and keeps happening, just about every time.

 

Since I will be in town only for a short time, I always make the appointment a few weeks in advance, to be sure that the guy is available and to allow time to find someone else if he's not. All the guys have been well-reviewed here, some very extensively.

 

1. The first one was about 5 years ago with a guy who had about 10 reviews, although one of them did say he was a no-show. But he was just to my liking and had some other qualities that I was interested in, so I made an appointment with him.

 

We were to meet at Harold's place. Harold was still alive then. The meeting was set up for 1 PM. I arrived well in advance and got ready for him. 1 PM came and went, then 1:10 and 1:20. I called the guy's cell and he said he was sorry, he was running late, was on the way and would be there in about 10 minutes. 1:30 came and went, then 1:40 and 1:50 and 2:00. No guy. I called his number a few times during that time, but got only his voice mail.

 

At 2:00 I called Harold upstairs to let him know that I was leaving. He came down and we got to talking for quite a while. During the conversation he asked me who the guy was, and I told him, and he said the guy had done this before and he (Harold) wished he had known that that was who I was waiting for. He tried to call the guy too (yes, he knew the number without my telling him), but he also didn't get through. We had been talking for over an hour, and around 3:15 I finally said goodbye to him because I had to leave for another appointment (not of this kind).

 

Just as I was about to open the door, the phone rang, and Harold answered it. Sure enough, it was the guy. Harold lit into him and gave him hell for missing the appointment. After he hung up Harold said that the guy had called to ask if I was still there and should he come over. This was at 3:15+ for a 1:00 appointment.

 

I was going to write him up as a no-show, but he sent me a very apologetic email, explaining that some emergency had happened at his day job and he couldn't leave, and he offered to meet me next time at a very substantial discount. He did sound sincere, and I was impressed, so I didn't write the review. Of course, "the next time" wasn't until about a year later, on my next trip, since I didn't have any more time windows on that trip.

 

A little before my next trip about a year later I wrote to him for an appointment, reminding him of who I was and that he had stood me up a year earlier, and I sent it as a reply to his apology email, with the original email included. He said he remembered the incident and would honor the discount, and we arranged a time.

 

I wrote asking if he was going to stand me up again, and he swore no, he wouldn't, and he offered to have the meeting at his place, which he said he didn't usually do, and sent me his address. I thought that was classy, and it reassured me since I had his address. This time everything went off without a hitch, I had a very good time, and I'm glad it worked out.

 

2. For my next trip a year after that I tried to get in touch with him again, but he was no longer in DC and no longer working. So much for that. So instead I made an appointment with a very well-reviewed masseur and also with a very well-reviewed and often-reviewed escort (separate appointments).

 

The masseur worked only in, didn't want to send the address in advance, and said that I had to call him a few hours before the appointment to get the address. The appointment was for early evening, so I called in the afternoon but got his voicemail. I left word to call or send me the address in an email. He didn't call back so after a while I called him again. Same thing. He still didn't call back. He never called back or sent me the address, so I didn't see him. I sent him an email and he wrote back that didn't get my messages because he had left his cell phone at work (I had been calling him in the afternoon while he was still at work). And he didn't even apologize.

 

3. The escort was scheduled for the next day at 8 PM. He didn't do in-calls, so he was supposed to come to my hotel. I called him around 2 or 3 in the afternoon to give him the room number and to make sure that everything was still a go for the evening. He assured me that everything was set and he would be there. I got ready and was waiting for him in the room.

 

At about 10 to 8 I got a call from him saying that he wasn't feeling well and he wouldn't be able to make it after all. He had gone out to eat with some friends and had gotten food poisoning. (Maybe, maybe not. Who knows??) He was apologetic on the phone and suggested a later day, and he too said that he would give me a discount, in this case $50. (Not as much as the first guy, but it's the thought that counts and the amount isn't that significant.) I said that I wasn't going to be in town later, but that I would get in touch with him on a future trip.

 

So it was deja-vu all over again. And because my earlier experience had worked out well, I was less pissed at him than I might have been otherwise, and again I refrained from writing a no-show review.

 

Well, a little before my next trip I wrote to him asking about a day and time, reminding him of the incident as I had before with the first guy, and again sending it as a reply to his email confirming the earlier date. He wrote back that he remembered the incident, and even referred to the type of food that he had eaten, which was the same as what he had told me a year earlier, but which I hadn't mentioned in my new email. So he obviously really did remember the incident. He didn't repeat any apology, which I thought would have been nice to do, but OK; not so important.

 

What he did do, though, was to make prominent mention of the fact that his rates had gone up since the year before, "so that there wouldn't be any misunderstandings at the appointment." So, rather than honoring his previous offer of a discount to make up for the earlier inconvenience, or even just offering to see me at his old rate since this was to be essentially a postponement of an earlier appointment, he was putting me on notice that the rate had gone up.

 

I hadn't mentioned the discount when I wrote, partly out of delicacy and partly because it should have been standard operating procedure for him. After all, I hadn't asked for it before -- he brought it up. Even without the discount, and even adding in the increase, it was still not more than I would have been willing to pay someone. His rate was now at the upper end of the average range, because his rate the year before had been near the lower end. So I don't begrudge him that he raised his rates, but I was very put off by the principle and the way he was handling things, by wanting to charge me more rather than honoring the discount, and I just never wrote him back. (Escorts take notice.)

 

4. Fast forward to my next trip, this year, just a few days ago. Once again I made an appointment a few weeks in advance. It was for an in-call in the evening and everything was set. I called him the day before, he confirmed everything, and he gave me his address. Nothing can go wrong.

 

On the appointed day, at the appointed hour I went to his building. When I got up to his apartment he came to the door, came out into the hall and all but closed the door behind him, and he told me that we couldn't meet then because his sister and her boyfriend had just come in from out of town unexpectedly to visit. Suuuuure. And he offered to meet me the next day (which I couldn't do because I was leaving in the morning), and to meet me for half price. Where have I seen this movie before...?

 

In this case, though, I am pretty sure that he was telling the truth, because as I was going into the building a young man and woman came up from the other direction, each pulling a large suitcase on wheels, and turned to go into the same building. We waited together for the elevator, and then by chance it turned out that we were all going to the same floor. When we got out of the elevator there were ranges of apartment numbers posted on the wall, with arrows for the direction to go in.

 

I hesitated to see where they would go, and sure enough they went in the direction that I wanted to go. So I faked going the other way long enough until I heard the apartment door close behind them, figuring that they were going to a nearby apartment. They couldn't possibly be going to the nest that my chosen hot boy was keeping warm for me, since why would he have confirmed the appointment with me if he had been expecting guests at the same time?

 

But, no, dear reader, as I glimpsed just moments later through the opened door, they were indeed inside the very apartment that I was eager to get into, with the very boy who was supposed to be keeping me warm and relieving the stresses of my day.

 

So here I am in the same situation again, with a promise of discounted bliss months in the future.

There you go. Just let it out :-)

Vent, don't keep it bottled up :+

It's not just Washington. I was travelling to Boston from New York and before leaving exchanged emails with the escort confirming our 9PM appointment for the next night in my hotel room. When he didn't show up by 9:15 PM, I called him on his cellphone. He was having drinks with friends in a bar and said he had forgotten our appointment and was too far away to get to me at a reasonable hour. Another time here in NY a well-reviewed escort visiting from Germany and I arranged and confirmed an appointment at the West Side apartment he was using for the next night. When I got there, no one was home. I waited a half hour and then sent him an annoyed email the next morning. He too had forgotten and had been out with friends. I guess temporary memory loss can be an occasional ocupational hazzard for an escort.

I don't know if I am leading a charmed life or not but I have never been stood up by an escort and I have hired literally hundreds on 2 continents. When I read the above posts, however, I could see those kind of circumstances happening to me because it seems that there was not intention to skip out on the client and things just fell apart for whatever reason. Particularly the case where the sister and husband showed up unexpectedly. I also thought the poster handled that well, not going to the same door which I could see myself doing.

 

When I travel to another city and plan on hiring an escort, I make an advance appointment with place and time set, and if the escort wishes, I will call to confirm when I arrive in the city. I also take along with me the names of at least 5 other escorts that I have read about and liked their reviews. I have never had to resort to them out of necessity but have sometimes called one or two of them when I decided I wanted to treat myself.

 

Now having posted this just wait and see; my next date with an escort will probably fall through!!!:7
