I've been a little frustrated with guys approach lately.  I do my own scheduling and need people to be to the point right off the bat.  When they open with a "hi" or a "hey baby" I know it's going to be a drawn-out back and forth trying to get information so I usually ignore them.  My profiles all state "No phone calls.  I will not answer" yet I get about 80% of guys calling all hours of the day/night.  If I'm texting/emailing with you and there is an hour gap in my respose it usually means I'm with a client and in which case my phone is off-limits, as it will be when I'm with you.  And sometimes they show up early and I'm not able to finish the conversation.  I've often had appointments fall through because of this but I'd rather that be the case than being with a client and being focused on my phone the entire time.  

... are you serious about ignoring emails that open with “hi”?  That’s a standard, friendly way to start an email. I do it myself all the time, as in “Hi Ana Marie, I’d like to see you etc etc.”

I almost always start with Hi XXX or Dear XXX.  Is that bad?

I have had a few not communicate like that.  I think when they are on vacation or other real life stuff, they just stop monitoring their biz accounts.   When they come back, they might just flush the older emails as lost opportunities and start fresh -- of course I am only speculating.

I gathered from her post that "Hi", or "Hey babe" was the complete context of the initial email, and that's why she wasn't responding.
I can see how receiving emails that just say "Hi" would get tiring.

I think that what she meant was messages that just say hey or hi and that’s it

She posted, “... When they OPEN WITH a ‘hi’ or a ‘hey baby’“ (emphasis added by me).  To me, “open with” means the messages said more than “hi” or “hey baby”.  What’s your interpretation of “open with”?

But see my response below on this.

Oh, wow. Thought I’d throw my 2 cents in and I get attacked by the grammar police. To clarify, I meant “open the conversation with.” As in the initial email is “Hey” and nothing else. And I also never said that the OP had ever contacted me. I don’t even know who he is. I was just giving my perspective, which as far as I know that is what discussion boards are for. But clearly, you value the form of a post over its purpose, so I will refrain from posting further comments as they may only succeed in confusing you.

I hope you can understand why some of us weren’t clear on what you meant  in your OP.  But “the initial email is ‘Hey’ and nothing else” is crystal clear, and as I and others said, emails like that would be a pain!  That’s a Time Waster pure and simple, and if I got that kind of email I’d not only not respond but I’d block their emails (or route straight to spam).

1. I hate it when hobbyists don’t communicate well.
2. I hate when someone says I didn’t communicate well.

I’m sorry that’s happened to you, it seems very odd and unprofessional. Especially considering you were successfully cleared via screening and actually set up a date. It makes me wonder who you contacted and what their reputation is, or how old are they?! (Yes, age matters) Personally, if a person has passed screening and set up an appointment, then by all means I will be very communicative! Because I want them to show up! The only time I don’t respond to emails is:
 1. If it’s uninformative/rude...”you available?” “Hey” “sex” “Hi” “avail?” (Who the heck would bother responding to any of these?!)  
2. When I’m with a client or it’s not during my posted business hours/Or if I’m on vacation.  
Also, each person who emails me receives an auto reply, which gives them the opportunity to read my website and get back to me with the appropriate information in order to proceed! (Which is pretty standard)  
I hope it gets better for you! There are several lovely pros in MN who would never ghost you 😊

Fair enough

In the past couple of years, I've run into this issue fairly often when trying to set something up with providers I've not seen before or haven't seen in a good while.  Sometimes, I get no response and sometimes communication gets started but then all of a sudden the provider goes radio silent.  I'd frankly like to get an answer, even if she's decided not go through with it.

You schedule weeks if not months in advance? The only ladies I have even heard of having guys do this are heavy travellers that visit multiple cities a month. Many local ladies, if you say you will see them in 3 weeks, and then touch base 2 weeks later odds are the girl will have forgotten all about you. Especially massage girls who tend to go day by day.
  Plus if you email a girl and nothing, try again and nothing, just move on, she doesn't want to see you. If you see she is available but avoiding you than thats her loss, she is just throwing your money away.

Here is my take: The email you're sending is a "request" when you receive no response, no confirmation of appointment- you do not have an appointment SO move on.

I’ve been pretty lucky for awhile now getting great service (usually) from local massage gals at a lower rate then local GFE and traveling ones. I’ve have dates with most local ladies that have been around awhile but recently decided to try some traveling ladies and couple newer local ladies. Reached out to 4 and only got one reply of “one hour 400”. Geez that’s a great sales pitch.....NOT!  

I feel more than half of the providers who even are getting current reviews aren't responding, prob due to COVID though I would assume and they are just seeing their usuals. Happy to see it isnt just me though!
