No Rules, Just Me

RE: A Cuddle Booking Took an Unexpected Turn

It is 7:15 p.m. on a Sunday evening. My apartment is clean. Laundry done, floors vacuumed, bedding changed, dishes washed. I’ve showered. I was supposed to have a cuddle session with a woman today (original post from October 21), but that has now been pushed to Tuesday.

We scheduled for today, and she originally said 2 or 3 p.m. Around that time, I asked if she was still coming. She said yes, but asked whether pushing it to 7:30 p.m. would be OK. I said sure.

At 6:30, she messaged me, got my address, and then said she didn’t want me to be mad, but she hadn’t realized I was well over an hour away. She had to be at work early in the morning. Could we do Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday instead?

Yeah... So I said fine, Tuesday is good.

She messaged me, “Are you upset?”

I wanted to say, “Yeah, I fucking am.” Instead, I just said I was disappointed.

Then it got back to the weird part. Remember, this is supposed to be a platonic cuddle. She said, “Aww, I’ll make it up on Tuesday. I’ll bring wine, lingerie and heels, better?”

So... my gut is screaming again. Lots of things have seemed legitimate, but some of this also feels like what a skilled scammer would do. Agree to meet, then come up with an excuse at the last minute. Come on like gangbusters even though we have never met or even talked on the phone. There are other things raising red flags, too.

None of that tells me for certain she is scamming me. But it does leave me wondering what the fuck I’m dealing with.

For now, I’m going to wait and see what Tuesday brings. If it turns out the same, with another last-minute change of plans, I’m going to report what happened to the site, take the loss, and move on. I may never know whether she was scamming me, but I don’t need to keep doing this to find out.

It’s happened before. And honestly, it’s another reason I am so fucking sour on even bothering with women anymore. It’s a fucking hassle. The little bit of money I might lose bothers me less than what this does to my head.

It’s the roller coaster of planning, preparing, getting let down, and then being given another promise. Now I have two more days to wonder whether that promise means anything. Based on past experiences, I’m already expecting to be let down again.

So, two days... we shall see.
