And I've heard a a number say business is slow.  Plus having been gone for a while may be making it harder to get going again.

maybe they're just not that into you.

First, you need to be very clear about the services you provide. Are you FS or aren't you? Guys want to know for sure before they call.

Second, where are you at technology wise? I spent 2 days trying to set up a date last week with a new girl. I must have tried to contact at least 5 women that never replied to my emails (Yes, you were one of them)

I did get a date with an excellent girl that I had seen before so everything worked out. My date is very on top of things. She checks her email regularly and takes the time to find out what I'm looking for. FYI sometimes the most import criteria is something you might not think of like location or time.

This business is all about communication so every unanswered message or email is lost business today and probably tomorrow.

I had three lovely ladies that took the time to clear me for a date and I plan to see all three in the near future. I know I'm not the only guy that keeps a list of ladies that have checked their background and he wants to see even if it didn't work out this time. You put in the time now and you'll have a thriving business in a short time.

Also, never forget that guys love a special.
