It a big pet peeve of mine, but cant stand when a provider flakes out on you or your texting and you dont hear back from them. I was in communication with a highly reviewed provider to inquire about a same day appointment Saturday early afternoon. She stated she would be available at a later time that late afternoon.  
I wasn't sure it would fit in my schedule so told her I had to check and would text her back in 20 mins. 13 mins later I let her know the time she stated would work. I waited for a confirmation text but radio silence. Texted her twice more to see if she get my message and again, nothing.  
I know this happens at times but nothing is more infuriating than not getting a response back from someone. It only takes 5 seconds to get back to someone.
This would have been a first time pro I would have seen, but it happens with regulars as well on occasion.

Especially when trying to set up a same day appointment—which I almost never do, but I know a lot of guys do.

The SW world is notorious for lackadaisical customer relations.   Try to imagine them with attitudes like runway models or movie stars.  Then your lower expectations make more sense.

I prize good customer service from providers and when one all of a sudden goes radio silent that is aggravating.  Even if she has simply decided not to make an appointment I'd like to at least know that.

Well welcome to the hobby. Get use to it cause its not gonna change.

A pro uses a burner phone or a 2nd line.  When they aren't working or don't want to, they simply don't look at it.  You didn't arrange a time, maybe she decided to make other plans for the day.  Or maybe in that 13 minutes she answered another inquiry that booked your nut time.  
Would it be nice if she just responded and told you no or something, sure.  Is she obligated to? Nope.  

My take on "pro"....   a "pro" doesn't Flake or not return calls.   That is an amature.    True "pros" are professionals who take their work seriously and business like.  What I mean by business like is... they return calls, are on time, if they are not on time they call to let you know they are not on time, they arrive as requested if you asked for a certain outfit, they are at their incall ready, they are clean and freshly showered, etc.  Then if the fun time is more sensual or romantic... that is on them and the niche they want to fill.   But a "pro" always returns calls and has good communication.  

I get all that but still doesnt make it right. She wasnt available at the time I asked and requested a later time. I told her " give me 20 minutes to see if that works", she texted" okay sound good". I texted her back 13 minutes later stating the time she requested would work. Even if she had a burner or second line, I specifically said I would let her know in 20 mins, so it seems hard to not notice the text or make other plans that quickly.  
Again, she is allowed to not set a date, but at least have the decency to let someone know. She has a lot of reviews on here and in the ones I read, haven't heard about her flaking out, so willing to give her another chance, as I know things happen. Just wanted to point it out because it happens far too often in this hobby and its totally irritating when you get ghosted or you get a return text two days later

What a surprise.  Ted, can you please just give these “pros” or “whores” as you usually refer to them a break for just once?

From her side, how many flaky customers does she have to deal with on a daily basis, who waste her time? It's a two way street.

Actually, it's probably my #1 pet peeve (radio silence, that is).  I normally scedule well in advance, and when there is absolutely no response at all I always wonderwhat is going on.  Worse, because I have a misplaced sense of trying to be fair to the provider I only make a request of one provider at a time.  When I don't hear back I wait and finally send a followup email saying I am moving on.  I suppose I should not wait, but I always do.

I have the same problem with p411 requests and emails at times, though.  Just nothing for days  and sometimes never.  It's a pain in the ass when it happens, and seems to strike at random.  That being said, there are a few ladies who are great on a consistent basis.  Kudos to them.

That only make sense if she does to customers she knows to be flaky and how likely is that?

Please don't jump all over me for this.  But I have to defend this poor gal because this happens to me a lot with my emails.  I turn my phone on around 7am and off around midnight.  It is almost nonstop beeping.  I'm either getting a text or email. I just can't keep up with them all and accommodate the appointments that come from them. All the screening and this is 7 days a week.  I have zero private life. I'm glued to my phone.  I get attitude if I reply late because I had to pee. Sometimes we have to pee. So please,  cut us a little   slack.  Maybe the gal you contacted isn't in the business anymore because of covid.  How did you approach her?  Were you Gentleman or did you you text her "hey' at 3am? There are many factors why a gal might not respond beyond her just being a flake.  

Hi Betty,
 This was a Saturday afternoon communication. If I remember correctly I asked when she would be available and I think she said 3. I needed to see if I could make that exact time work so I told her I would text her back in about 20 minutes. When I did text her back 13 minutes later, nothing. A few follow-up text and still nothing. I totally get that things come up and I don't trip out a lot about things but we had just been talking and had a tentative plan and was trying to confirm things and then radio silence.

I'll address you first.  You seem like a rational adult.. I'm really sorry for her her flake on you.  The only thing I can say if you really liked her is to give her a 2nd chance.  Who knows what could've happened.  Because she doesn't know you and that you really are dependable she might have just thought 'ya ya 20 minute whatever that's what they all say and forgotten about it. She may have fallen asleep (done this one myself more than a few time) or an emergency could've come up... who knows.  I'm sure she just flaked but it seems like you were really interested in her so give her a 2nd chance.  If she flakes again,  run!  

Betty,

Don't waste your breath on rocketboy. He's a lost cause. I don't  even bother to respond to people who are tsttt.

You are an icky icky sad little man.  I also prefaced my message with 'Don't jump all over me' but maybe you can't read what you don't want to read.  Not sure.  
It's obvious from all of your posts that you just don't like any of us unless we throw you a pity fuck for free.  And you just have us all categorized  in the same narrow minded little notch in your head of as lowest of low scum humans.  So why do you even waste your time and everyone else's time by posting such vile and hateful posts and replies on a website dedicated to the hobby you hate? Doesn't make much sense.  
People are people and shit happens.  Yes,  there are some bad apples on both sides but to hear anyone declaring that ALL OF US are this or that is ridiculous at best.  You don't know me so how can you make any sort of judgment call about me? Because I'm offering a different possible explanation? You're names because I chimed in on a post where the OP was asking for a possible explanation?  Do you know how forums work? If you attack every poster that comes on,  you will no longer have a forum.  Is that your goal?  
Just leave me alone and keep your vile mouth closed and your nasty thoughts about this hobby to yourself.  Thank YOU!

I'd like that.... text me at 612-414-6635.  

Echoing Betty here, and thank you for articulating it perfectly !  
For me,  
I have a hard time responding promptly these days mostly due to service issues when I'm within my incall, as in I don't get a very good signal there so sometimes & I'm not seeing any messages until hours later, it's very frustrating when you don't have control over that situation.  
Most of the time if I don't respond it's because I'm trying to respond to or I'm occupied by others can't use my phone lol ....no, no one spooked me rather, there's no emotion behind it at all I'm not doing it maliciously...I'm trying my best and assume others are as well 🙂
And yeah that's a HUGE reason why a lot of providers simply avoid coming here now, including myself, we really don't appreciate being talked about or spoken to like that . Have some decency, kindness....it might get you a bit further with us ladies ?  just saying...

However I've also gotten a "don't message me someone else sees my phone" type of request as well
Or it's been hours upon hours so feels very intrusive of me to respond but that could just be me worrying/overthinking about being polite /respectful of another's personal life

Why is my name even being mentioned???
I havent been on here in forever

I happened to be doing quite well and was up around $4K and decided to get some lunch at one of the restaurants there.  After ordering with the server, the cook showed up at my table and presented my meal.  At first, I thought it was VanTheMan but after looking again, I realized it wasn’t him.  It was like the scene at the end of the film “Misery” where Kathy Bates shows up at the end of the film with Paul Sheldon.
