Apologies if this topic has been discussed to death, but I'm curious if others have experienced this.
I tried arranging a date earlier tonight with an SP I've had my eye on for a while and after a lot of texting back and forth, we agreed upon a time so I left work early to make the appointment. I had no idea where her incall was located specifically, so I asked, but her reply was something like "did you get my text?" to which I replied "no", assuming she tried to send me the information earlier. She then suspected either my phone or her phone wasn't working, so I asked if she could email it to me since smartphones are ubiquitous these days.
It's 10 minutes before we're supposed to meet and I still haven't heard anything until finally I get an email saying "looks like I haven't heard from you, perhaps another time" to which I immediately replied that in fact I was in the area waiting. Needless to say she never got back to me. It was a fruitless effort and I felt pretty annoyed that I traveled all the way for nothing.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this common? Frankly I found it rather suspect that both my texts and emails were not getting through to her (I was texting other people around the same time). I suspect what likely happened was that she found someone else willing to see her for longer than I could have, so instead of telling me that something else came up, she makes up a ruse that it's due to a technical problem.
I've been stood up before, but often I just don't hear from them at all rather than having my phone be blamed.
It would've been great if she just said she was busy in the first place and avoid the hassle of trying to be on time for a non-existent appointment that I thought was confirmed.
Anyway, I don't think I'm alone in saying it would be great if SPs could just be blunt about not wanting to see a client. I think it's better to be rejected than to waste time and effort not knowing what's going on.
Thoughts?
