How Long Do You Wait Before Canceling?

How long do you wait before canceling?

 

I had a 6pm appointment tonight. Looking forward to seeing the escort although I had doubts about the accuracy of his photos. At 5:55 I texted and he said he'd be here by 6:15. That was annoying since the meeting was for 6. I understand delays but I also think if the escort is going to be late he should let the client know. At 6:25 I texted again and told him to cancel.

 

Should I have given him more time?

At least find out why he was going to be late. Some excuses are legit, others not.

It's a two-way street, what if you'd been late? Maybe he was measuring your asshole-factor... many things not reported here... first time with this guy? Did you ever talk to him or was it all text? What did your 5:55 text say?

This was my first time with this guy. All text; no conversation. That was probably a mistake. I really wish he had been proactive in reaching out to let me know he'd be late. Actually, he should have done so.

Exactly, get a feeling of the guy over the phone it's more human... You should have called him at 6:25 and talked to him, ask him it he was late or got lost.

 

Besides, did you have any plans for later? I know it's annoying when someone is late, but did you have dinner plans for 7:30?

I'd definitely wait as long as you waited, as long as he kept me up to date with what was happening. I've waited a couple hours before I've given up.

yeah, probably a little too quick to cancel, I guess......definitely should've called him at some point to chat him up before the 6pm time and create some back-and-forth comfort.....at the least, I would've called him direct at 6:25 and see how it's going instead of just abruptly cancelling.......but I certainly understand the lateness being frustrating with no updates coming in from him....sorry it happened, DBD

At 6:25 I would have asked him for his ETA. If he was driving, he might not have been in a position to test or call. However, he should have contacted you before 5:55 to tell you he would be late.

No, if he did not answer your 5:55 text, but he did. The fact that you are asking the question on an Internet forum leads me to believe you already know you decided to cancel too quickly.

This.

 

He was only 10 minutes past his last promised time, and in some cities that could be one missed train or a couple stoplights in bad traffic.

 

On the other hand, I've been in one situation where I'd make plans with an otherwise well-reviewed experienced escort, and he'd told me more or less where he lived. I'd confirmed the night before, with a promise that he'd send the address the next day. All perfectly fine and normal.

 

I heard nothing the next day, when it got to an hour or so before the appointment I called and texted, no response. At the half hour point I started out to his neighborhood so I'd be there on time. Still nothing. Another call and text, no response. I hang around for half an hour or so beyond our time, at which point I just give up and leave. He calls about 15 minutes later with some song and dance about being downtown and he'd just now started home and could I wait, yada yada. Well, the reality was I had dinner plans so had no problems saying"no, I can't" but would have said so in any case. At what point in his day couldn't he have found 2 minutes to text me?

[ericwinters]

HELL NO! Now if he was proactive and had a valid reason like an accident that he could not get around due to traffic or something like that then yes. But no call no show, no way, im my business that is grounds for termination.

I understand bending over backwards (no pun intended) but it really is the escort's responsibilty to explain why he/she is late, not the client. In the classroom, if a student walks in 25 minutes late am I supposed to ask him where he was? Nope, he better tell me. If you're holding a meeting, the participants have a responbility to inform you if they're going to be late and why. I don't think escorts should be held to a different standard.

[Guest boiworship08]

Twinks are often later than 25 minutes. I never plan anything the nights of the sessions, so I'm fairly tolerant as long as we're communicating. I think your cancellation was precipitous and you'll likely never see that escort again.

Since you and he had a 6:00P appointment, he should have been the one texting or ringing you regarding his delay. Those few escorts whose time I'd engaged and who had found themselves not being able to meet the scheduled appointment, sent me a text or rang me. At that time a delayed time schedule was agreed.

 

Once, one of my favorite escorts was a half hour late, or perhaps it was later and did not notify me in any way of his delay. When he did arrive all upbeat and smiling, I turned him away. Apparently, this did not impede our future appointments; for he was on time from then on, or he would inform me before arriving.

 

Another time an escort rang me and stated that he was with friends at dinner; he was an hour+ late. When this hottie came into my hotel room and removed his motorcycle helmet, he wanted to converse. My conversation was: "this appointment has ended." He left and I felt bad but felt that I did the right thing!

 

Hope this helps and was not too long! Yes, you should have given him at least a half hour to 45 mins.
