I just spent two days trying to get connected with a provider, and no one even called back.
I tried leaving messages, texts, and even clicking on the contact provider on the web page.
what am I doing wrong? do I need to ask in a certain way. do I need to give some info that Im not giving?   WHen Im in Chicago I have no problems, only in Minneapolis

There are some providers that I contacted in 2004 that still haven't got back to me.

That's just the nature of the beast man.

What can I tell you. My rule of thumb is 1 introductory email. That's it. If she isn't organized enough to respond to my email, I will move on to the next pussy. There is plenty of fish in the sea. Also, as a rule...I don't start out with calling her or texting her. I always send email or PM, as I consider it to be the least invasive method.

If you call too many times, you may end up on Blacklist.

It might be helpful if you let us see your pitch.  It always helps if you're going through a screening service. In your first msg, be business-like and polite.  Be specific about dates/times you're available.  Provide screening info.  Are you booking for an hour?  Are you going to get the place?  Include all these things in your first msg.  End with a personal note, e.g. what attracted you to her, and be a gentleman.  --z

Sounds like you tried a lot, I will only make one attempt, either email, text or call, ONE time in 24 hours. All your attempts might have turned her off. Remember, it's "her" business she can choose to see who she wants to.  Also just because she ran an ad, doesn't mean she was working. She could have been on summer vacation, taking care of the kids, etc.

Can you copy/paste a typical message you sent to her?

It might be helpful to see your approach.

And, like the others have said, multiple attempts to contact a girl can be construed not as persistency, but stalkerish.

For example, if your approach is to say this, then I can understand why you get no response:

"Rates?  Pic?  Want more info."
