If it was this morning, your contact will appear pushy.  If it was over a week ago, and you now have a reference, it might be a welcome call.

I filled out a contact form completely on a providers (MANY great reviews) site.  I suggested a date and time, I even gave my DateCheck info.  I noticed that she did actually view my DateCheck profile, but no contact.  

Generally I assume that the provider would contact you if they can, or want to meet.  

Is it okay to try to contact her again?  At the time I had no references, I do now.  Or should I assume no contact = no go.

I just don't want to cross a line, or appear pushy.

thanks.

I filled out a form with a reputable agency two weeks ago and never heard back.  

I finally called them last Friday [the appointment is still upcoming so I didn't miss it] to ask why and she suggested that I call in the future since they don't always receive their forms - whatever that means.  Why have a form if no one's checking?  Is it a way to test the persistence of clients or something?

If the desired appointment time is imminent and the provider has listed a contact phone number, why not call?  Remember, you're not asking a civvie for a date.  If you explain about the form and she wants your business, she'll understand.

If it was this morning, your contact will appear pushy.  If it was over a week ago, and you now have a reference, it might be a welcome call.

Sometimes you may have to wait 48-72 hours if you sent the form on a Friday afternoon just before a weekend or holiday.  The ladies have lives outside the profession too.
