The booking never took place as I had to cancel it, but decided to write a review because it was scheduled on AW and because of what happened after I cancelled on her. Rather than the usual review format i'm going to write about what happened chronologically seeing as the entire thing happened over comms, it's going to be simplified a bit as there are a lot of irrelevant bits and pieces.
Summary in red at the bottom as it's a bit of a bastard to read through.
External Link/Members OnlyCharissa had been on my HL for a month or so before I joined UKE, once I got on there I noticed that she was quite active and after reading some of her posts about what she was into (would be the 1st proper submissive I've booked) I expressed some interest in booking her at some point.
Some time later she contacts me to inform me via PM that after the 25th of April she'll be taking a break from escorting and possibly quitting. Seems she's had a dusty phone and was hoping i'd book her, I initially tell her that i'll be unavailable but then get the news that i'll be getting some medication that I had been expecting for a while (B12 for my energy issues).
I resume contact with her and after me fumbling around with some details we get a rough idea of what would happen in the booking. It was going to be my first time in a properly dominant role, verbally humiliating her as that's something she's known for on here and UKE.
Some crap with my family happens involving a family member's business suddenly being down by a few workers (she's a bit crazy so likely scared them off) and I offered to head over to volunteer just so it wouldn't fall to shit when they were understaffed. I inform Charissa about the cancellation (this being days in advance)after sorting out my travelling arrangements and prepare to set off the next morning.
Turns out that on the ride over to Bristol the family member got several of her friends to volunteer, leaving me unneeded and unwanted. I head back exhausted and stressed out as this was the first time in a long time that i've left London while being this unwell not to mention my first cancellation.
I briefly ponder whether I should get back to Charissa and try to rebook her but in my mind I thought i'd come across as some kind of fantasist or time waster, trying to fuck her over with games until she was going for her break. This wasn't the case but I was too tired and annoyed at my situation to get back to her and apologise for what had happened (as mentioned earlier I'd fumbled a bit with some details, specifically location, which probably looked suspicious too).
I say fuck it and book my regular for a standard GFE to help me destress. I wasn't in any state to properly prepare my flat for a first time booking with an escort and the regular is fine with me being messy, a lot less hassle to just book her especially considering the original plan of a fact paced dom booking.
The booking with my regular comes and goes, I mention on one of the UKE threads that I just had a booking with my regular thinking that was that. Charissa then gets back in contact with me asking if she had done anything to make me unsure about the booking forcing me to cancel, I told her that she had been fine.
She pries a bit and then tells me that it's clear i've been lying to her and that she dislikes disingenuous people. From what i've read she's been a little paranoid about why she's not been getting many bookings and to be fair she's taken a lot of the criticism on when she's asked for it.
I send her a longer email explaining some of the above and talking about how I just wanted a calmer booking with someone familiar after the crap with the family member and she didn't respond.
That was that, a very boring end to a fairly boring tale.
Summary:
Booking gets arranged.
I have to cancel due to unfortunate timing of bullshit.
I book my regular rather than rebook Charissa because i'm not in the mood to verbally abuse and humiliate a stranger.
She accuses me of lying.
End.
The reason it's a neutral is because while the accusation at the end was uncalled for she had been very good at comms and attitude up to that point, answering questions concisely and directly.
