BigAl says: "I usually have a back-up plan, Relax, 360, Zona 2, Scores. When she is late, I walk."Hey new guys, that is one of the CR Monger 10 commandments.
When dealing with the whores and plans for meeting them for a later engagement, always have a back up chica or plan, especially if you are not living there. Time is golden there and poof, it's over before you know it and your back at SJO. If you get jagged around without a back up, you blew alot of precious time, especially if MP's aren't your cup of tea as a back-up. Guys that live there always have another idea/options.
Cell phones have certainly helped in that regard. Before they all started getting cell phones, which is quite awhile now, you could be sitting waiting not knowing WTF was going on. Few of them had hard line phones, and if they did, it was probably shared with four other households so that was always a pain in the ass, and useless if you didn't have her real name.
So, unless this is a girl you know is reliable, I'd call her a couple hours in advance, and then an hour in advance, because some of them will def jag you around without the slightest remorse with or without the lamest of excuses. No response? Start gearing up for Plan B.
And I like Mkinks thinking, essentially, Phuck you too.
And yes, she has to know you ain't on Tico time. Tell her that when you make the date--"no Tico tiempo, gringo tiempo", she'll know exactly what's up. Not there on time as planned? Call or text once more if it is that good you don't want to blow it, no answer or no text within 5-10 minutes assuring you she'll be right there, Next
You'll be OK because you got a Plan Stan. Slip out the back Jack. No need to be coy Roy. Jump on the bus Gus.
