:wav:I am sure that I am not the only one that has been taken for a ride and to me, it is now funny but it is also costly. I will start the story at the beginning and will try to make it short.
A few years ago there was a private escort that had an advertisment on cracker. I went through all the hoops you have to get a phone number via email, and set up a time and date to catch up with her. The first time we caught up things went well, and we caught up a lot more often as time went on. She was not the cheapest around at $600 per hour, but to me it was worth it.
Any way over about 6 months she quit the industry and went travelling around Europe for 8 months. One day out of the blue I got a text from her she is back in Aust and did I want to catch up for a bite to eat. We caught up and over time things between the two off us changed and we came really close, but we did not enter a relationship.
So this brings me to about a few weeks ago. We had a flexibly time table around my job and her other job to catch up and get up to whatever. Then things change with her getting a new job with a lot of travel and me getting a job to be living in Europe.
We made arrangements to catch up to celebebrate our joint good news and things where fine. After that we decided to catch up just before I leave. Any way we made plans, and she cancelled. This happened a couple of times. Finally we caught up but a short time in she becomes unwell and decided to go home. So after a talking about iwhat to do, we took a rain check and decide to catch up later in which she will take the money with her. (Bad move)
This is where is gets annoying and expensive. We made plans to catch up and for some reason or another she cancels them, or says I will check and get back to me. When she does get back to me with a answer it is always the same, not a good time as I am busy. So here I am with another, I am busy all weekend response. We did agree to talk tomorrow. So at this stage are we cacthing up?I have no idea, but i do know that I am packing up my house and moving to Europe in a weeks time.
Have I gotten pissed off and unhappy about the situation, yes. I have tried to convoy this to her but i will be honest I am smitten with her so it is hard to do. I have thought about asking for the money back, yes, but it is not something I can do. So this leaves in a position where we may catch up, but I have a gut feeling we will not. So this leaves my $2000 poorer and her that much richer.
And here is the best part, after thinking about it for that last hour so, I no longer care, as it is only money. I can earn always earn more money. The important thing here is she has to live with her actions. More importantly I hope she has a good and happy future.
So am I a idiot for trusting her and taking a rain check, probably. Is it the first time it has happened to any one, I am sure it is not. Will she strike with any one else, no, as I became her only client.
One final things please dont ask for her name or any other details about her as I am not giving them out to protect her privacy. I still do have a big soft spot for her. I also feel better putting out for other people to laught at my mistake.
