Blacklisted: what are telltale signs

Been trying but no reply. Seen provider twice was wondering between illness or blacklisted.

There's a particular provider, I wish not to be mentioned.  I met this provider twice years ago.
At first, I wanted to blame the secretary or person that answers/schedules her.  Previous contact person was on the ball and replied very quickly.  Sometimes it feels she's in the same room, like a spy movie.

Lately, my replies are far in between.

So not sure if,  
- fallen ill, or
- blacklisted

It probably started as her being generally busy, but if you went too far trying to get in touch, she may now be thoroughly freaked out.  It depends on what "been trying" means, but that's my guess.

It's not unusual for there to be a couple of days that I turn this part of my life completely off.  I think a fair number of us do that.  I know I'm probably "losing" the business from those inquiries but sometimes it's important enough to me to turn it off.  If I came back to my email/phone and there were...any more than four for sure...I definitely would not respond and I wouldn't see that person.  Being persistent with no feedback is stalkerish.  Catastrophizing and/or expecting an explanation for the delay is also stalkerish.  And responding/engaging in any way feeds the problem

I didn't see it from that POV.
Like mentioned before, most of my communication is from the previous assistant.  Not used to the current's pace.

I wish I could deal directly, because, provider is very very professional. There have been closed call where other provider would send an txt during my lay-low period.

When I do have a window of opportunity to engage a meeting, its usually a small window.  Not too keen when cutting it too close.

Thanks for your feedback

She or her assistant didn't respond, they don't want your business. Move on to someone that does.  

Making contact multiple times without consistent responses is stalker territory.  Don't be that guy.

Sometimes we go over the boundary line without realizing it. Her comfort level is paramount to anything else. There are plenty of girls who have left the business that I miss very much but I respect what they want and move on. It's not all about you. Make some new friends.
