I looked up all of your posts to see what your posting style was like.
I read your previous ads.
I see if you are on any other sites.
I looked up all of your reviews I could find and maybe pm'd the reviewer if I had some questions.
I'm still interested
I send you a pm or a p411 request and HOPE to hear back from you.
I get screened...we agree on a time and place.
I wait 3 long long long days while the anticipation builds.
I take a vacation day to come see you.
I find a way to secretly acquire that "donation"
I drive an hour to get there and likely an hour and a half to get home in traffic.
Maybe you see a couple of clients a day. I see a couple of providers every 3 or 4 months. It is a BIG deal for me to choose you and then to make everything happen to actually come see you. If the session is less than stellar for me I have to wait a couple of months to have another. If the session is great then it's almost as difficult since I know I won't be able to see you again for a while.

I am in a very similar situation except for the distance travelled and vacation day. I try to stick within reasonable driving distance and find some excuse to be
MIA for a while (client meeting ran late, decided to take client to lunch, need to pick up files, etc.) but the rest is spot on. It's not easy for me to make an appointment so when I do, I hope it is worth the effort.
I've never arranged a plan b simply because I'd hate to cancel. I don't want a girl to cancel with me, so I don't think it's right for me to cancel on them. Although I have had to on a few occasions where something went awry (boss decided to go with me to see client, and other situations) but never for another girl.
