Appointment not completed

[hamsterboy]

Hi all

Just into the house after a 1 1/2 60 mile roundtrip for a meeting which didn’t take place, wanted to see if this had happened to others and have a bit of a pity party.

So yesterday I noticed a girl advertising in a location nearby. I had previously met the girl 4-5 months ago and this was her first time back since then. This girl sets clear and exact instructions on how to arrange a meet. She doesn’t respond to texts like “are you free” but she is really good at her job and totally worth following her rules to set up the appointment.

I followed her instructions and arranged a 2 hour appointment for this afternoon. She requests that I send a confirmation text 30-40 minutes prior to the agreed time. With the anticipation building, I even set an alarm on my phone to remind me to send the confirmation as agreed (not that I needed reminding!) the location is about an hours drive from me so I’m already on the road when I send the text.

15 minutes prior to appointment, just as I’m arriving at a nearby car park, I get a message from the girl thanking me for wasting her time. I reply with a question mark, and a 2nd message saying I sent confirmation as agreed, she sends me a message back saying she only got my confirmation text a minute ago. I send a screenshot of my messages, showing my text sent at the correct time, she sends me back a screenshot showing my message on her phone, received 22 minutes after I sent it. The girl accuses me of wasting her time and gives me both barrels for doing so. She genuinely thinks I sent the message late, but I know it was sent on time and can’t convince her otherwise.

Normally I would just chalk it down to experience and make an appointment with someone else, but this girl is one of the best around, plus I had been looking forward to the meeting since arrangements were made nearly 24 hours prior.

Also I realise that the chances of any future meetings with the girl in question are buggered now too.

Has anyone else here been in the same situation as I find myself in and how did they handle it?

That’s a pain in the ass. At times I have drove over 100km in one direction to see a girl. (I do like to drive also) Move on, just one of those things.

At me next time. I'm pretty active on here as most know so was this post to aggravate me even more after you wasted 4hrs of my day?

Shit happens, move on . That's my advice

Yeah.... sometimes happened to me too, I reached the location, ask the girl if I can come in but then says I never confirmed even though the message was successfully sent and delivered. Sometimes the ladies acknowledge that they didn't see my confirmation message while others completely ignore it and move on as if it was never sent. In first instances I give 2nd chances, in the latter instances I move on, plenty of other ladies out there.

If your phone did notify you that your message was sent and delivered successfully (on iMessages it displays the "Delivered at [time]" and on WhatsApp with 2 Gray tick marks) then the issue is on the lady's phone (maybe the phone never notified of the message arriving, maybe she missed it etc.), technology fails every now and again so these things just happen.

Don't think he was looking to aggravate anybody, he never mentioned you by name, he was just looking for some advice.

I have occasional problems with texts being delayed like that. Sometimes they turn up on the girls phone 30 minutes after they are sent, and sometimes not till the next day. It only happens maybe once every few months and so far I have been lucky and it has not killed an appointment. If I don't get a reply to my text I usually call to make sure they got it. I'm with Tesco mobile - not sure if it is specific to a network.

It's a pain for both of you, and nobody's fault, but it was not a good idea to describe it in a way that was identifiable - I knew who it was from your original message.

Anyone who's ever booked in with me would know it's me. I'm very particular about my confirmation windows (most girls don't even give as much time as I do) and had it been any massage but nuru, I'd have been beyond understanding had the person just come out and said they were driving and forgot to confirm.
