An introduction was written in December, and she finally replied today...with a form letter (email).
What are my options?
a. clearly she’s not dependable. move on.
b. give her another chance by seeing how she responds to your reply.
c. she’s flakey, but gorgeous. give her as many chances as it takes.
d. several weeks is nothing. i’ve had ladies reply a year later. proceed.
e. i’m looking for connections, and this doesn’t look promising. move on.
f. chalk this up to yet another hilarious hobby non encounter, and move on.
g. since it takes several weeks to reply, book something mid March.
h. sex always overcomes a lack of organization. try again.
i. at least you got a reply. some ladies never respond. give it a 2nd go.
j. c’mon! this is the hobby. don’t get your feelings hurt. who cares anyway?
Those are all viable options. I tried for over a year to see one provider and still never did. She would reply sometimes to emails and sometimes not. She was incredibly beautiful and had the reviews to back it up. Normally I would never allow it to happen but it became comical and slightly amusing how terrible she was at responding. It was never a loss in my mind not seeing her as there are too many amazing women out there to chose from. So I guess my final answer is a combo of all the above?! Only you can decide 
B if she responds with a personal touch ok if not forget her
I chose B, but since it looks like it's going to take another few weeks before she responds, if she responds at all, I've already moved on.
Whether consciously or unconsciously, or maybe I am just imagining this, it seems like you are leaning toward wanting to meet her. I guess anything's worth a try, to each their own.
But they way I read delayed responses like hers is that she has a need for some money now, so she's digging into past 'asks' to see if anything connects. Nothing wrong with that I guess as it is a business, but I'd prefer to have gotten a note back within a day or two if that was the case letting me know something as opposed to total dead air (a pet peeve of mine; if e communication is to take the place of live interaction then a non-answer is like someone walking away or hanging up after you ask a question)
So for me it would be like the wise sage Mr. Fisher - a and e

So two months later and she gets back to you now?
You should really move on.
It's just too many options in this hobby!

It goes what we have been discussing below concerning presentation and professionalism. Obviously, I would not be bothered by a reply that took a few weeks if the reply is prefaced with something along the lines of "Sorry it took so long to reply but I was traveling or on vacation," whatever. However, IMO, a reply out of the blue several weeks after the fact without an explanation is a sign to move along. Most ladies reply within a day or two, excluding weekends.
I'm outrageously easygoing, but several weeks/months for a reply is simply ridiculous by any standard. That said, it was the holiday season and life can get in the way. So if you're still jonesing for her, just don't go out of your way and be prepared to bail if she drags her feet.
"Do i know you?, it's been so long since I asked about your availability i can't seem to recall the details of my original inquiry. would you care to refresh my memory please?"
Want to bet you get a) nothing. b) another form letter. lol
Mark her email as spam and exclude her profile from your search results on P411. I would have probably already done this when I didn't hear back the first time thereby saving me from wasting any more time.
Something along the lines of
Dear Sir/Madam,

Unfortunately, the date for solicitation for FY 2015 has past, and we have engaged other contractors to fulfill our services requirements. Please feel free to fill out our vendor form so that you may be considered for future work in the 2016 budget year. The solicitation period for the _______ contract for FY 2016 opens November 1.
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Thank you so much for responding and we look forward to doing business with you in the near future.
"I'm sorry but I overlooked this email, are you still interested in meeting?" or words to that effect or it's option a.
There is no make-up in this game...EVER.
Read the guys OP again. The woman sent him a form email, probably sent by some assistant anyhow.
I would have replied to her reply by simply looking how much she is willing to discount for the inconvenience of wasting my time reading her form nonsense.
Make no mistake if it's rent time or car payment time, she'll be happy to work a deal out.
But I wouldn't hold my breath getting a reply anyhow. Sounds like this woman must not be a courtesan!!
I have been on the receiving end of "make up" for circumstances usually beyond a woman's control. What's funny is that the women who will "make it up to you" are rarely at fault in the first place, but more likely a victim of circumstances beyond her control. Now the woman who just fucked up on her own? NO, that woman is very unlikely to ever even admit it was her fault much less do anything to atone for it.
and yes, this woman, whoever she is, most definitely won't be lifting a finger to "make it up" to him. The fact that she sent him a "form email" and couldn't even be bothered with even a fake apology for her oversight is proof enough for me.
and I guess your response should be labeled "response L" and I like it almost as much as my "response K" lol
Certainly not in the context of how mojo portrayed his scenario.
I've had people want to give me something for being patient, or understanding in a situation. But I certainly don't consider it a make-up situation, rather someone acting professionally.
In this world, few if any are professional I'm afraid. Most of the women here tend to be more narcissistic than me...and that's hard to be.
Oh...and they lie. It really irks me when a woman here tries to portray a misunderstanding. So unprofessional. And many of the worst offenders are the courtesan types. The high-end women here really need a reality check.
Not to mention, unendingly pissy, arrogant, judgmental, condescending, always assuming the worst…….
“There is no make-up in this game...EVER. ….In this world, few if any are professional ……they lie…..”
Why do you do this? No honestly? Really? Why? If your personal experience is that the majority of providers are completely unprofessional, barely able to get out of their own way narcissistic incompetent liars…….why keep putting yourself though this?
Are you a masochist too?

My purpose in life is to get re-elected.
If I need to be a narcissist, done.
If I need to be a masochist, done.
Why such a pessimist?
I just thought that maybe she would feel bad and maybe she would give him more time or maybe take him out to lunch or buy him a gift of some sort to make amends? But if its coming from a form mail that seems disrespectful on her part. I think coming from her assistant might mitigate it more but maybe she never told the prostitute she is working for that she sent the form mail? I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but this one i might be wrong on. Thanks.
Dew-boy last posted on 2/2, this personality appeared on 2/4. He's "new", but he's made 14 posts in 2 days. His first post sounds just like the Village Idiot when he slips up and makes a semi-rational comment. Draw your own conclusions, but it seems obvious to me who this is.
And what was wrong with my first post Classic?
But can you please inform the gent what eom means? Thank you.
But it's on the docket for next month and we still have millions left in the budget to discuss it.
Do I know you?
But I knew your grandfather quite well. He was quite a man.
No way to know for sure, but I’ve had this happen once. Contacted a provider, no response. Sent her a follow-up just in case. No response. I moved on and forgot about it.
A coupla 2-3 months later I get an email from her, which I found odd. Then I realized that what I had received was a form letter…basically, a mail-merge type distribution; she was not responding directly to me, or to my prior request. Not exactly the personal approach I’m looking for….lol…She did have the wherewithal to BCC everyone.
I have no issue at all with being contacted like this—-or by phone/txt whatever——by a provider I’ve actually met. But in the interest of generally understood discretion, it’s good form to ask first.
So, I was not thrilled that she had added me to a client distro list—-especially considering she had mined my email addy from a request to which she’d never bothered to respond. (And, I filled out her questionnaire form, and everything…..sigh…lol)
I responded and asked her to please take me off her list. eh..shit happens
Some providers are college graduates, others have children , others have part time job besides this job. So if she has a personal site read what she says about her situation and how ahead of time you got to set up a date to make sure that your busy provider will be able to commit to a time and a place.
