Conundrum.

So I contacted a provider recently and got her screening requirements.   I admitted that my references may be a bit dated but was willing to work with her.  I followed up with another reference that I had forgotten about.  I could tell she was apprehensive (which is fine). I still haven't heard from her and trying to decide whether to keep pestering her or just just move on with no hard feelings (no pun intended).  but the question is for guys How much do you attempt to reach someone before you feel stalkerish?  and ladies if someone gives you screening info and, for whatever reason, you decide not to see them do you politely say no or just stop communicating?

FYI-I am not upset with the provider just gauging some preferences on this with others

the more a woman got pestered the less likely she would be to consider you. Maybe not. Maybe she got busy?? Don't think I would push it if someone didn't respond to me but I tend to give up easier than others.

Boss, you don't tell us how long you have waited to hear back. Some of the ladies have two jobs and receive scores of emails so you may not get a prompt response. If it has been over 4 or 5 days than I would suggest you try another lady. That way you will have another recent referral to add to your list and then you can try the first lady again. Be patient, be a gentleman and build your reputation. Best of luck.

No communication within 24-36 hours and I cross them off my list and move on

After two tries. But that's just me. If the provider doesn't attempt to reply after the second try, it just feels like the lack of interest will carry into the session. Getting desperate with meeting one particular provider is pushing it, imo.

In my experience though, the highly rated ones are quick to respond. If I don't get another reply after the first one, I know what she's saying.

If that doesn't get a response then I would move on.  If she has a calendar or runs ads on TER, etc then you might check to see if there is any mention of her taking some time off.

and have written several reviews in the past. I would think that combined with another recent reference should be enough.  Perhaps your last email got lost...ended up in junk mail...got accidentally deleted...who knows what may have happened?  I would follow up with another email, asking if she got your last email, because you did not receive a response.  Then if she still doesn't answer, move on.

I know that in the last few weeks since my chosen email provider has changed things up a bit I have missed a bunch of emails (personal and business). Not to mention a lot more of my messages have been sent directly to the SPAM filter. :-/
This does NOT make me happy!  

The last awesome gentleman was persistent (not annoying), polite and very understanding about it. He emailed me about 3-4 times in a 7-10 day period and FINALLY I had a notification of a new message! I discovered all of his messages in this newly added email feature.  In his case, I felt bad. In exchange, I added a some extra TLC to our time together! :-D

I always try to email people back within 24-48 hours unless I'm working on a project then it can take a few days.

Things happen, technology isn't fail proof and sometimes messages get lost in the interwebs.    

Good luck to you!!!
