I have finally decided to try an escort.  I the past few days I have contacted a few providers with no response.  What can I do to get the provider I desire to retirn my messages.  It seems unprofessional to not even respond.  Whether they are or not willing to meet.  I am patient but I am close to forgetting the whole scene.  Any advice would be appreciated.

First of all, have you read the self-help section and at least five pages of the Newbie Board?  If not,then you are wandering clueless in a strange land.  If you've never seen an escort, how will you pass screening?  If you've given them no info re screening they may figure you're not worth the trouble.  Did you check to see if the gals you contacted are "newbie friendly?"  Have you joined a screening service like P411 or DateCheck?
Get the picture?  This game is complicated now, but that's why it's  safer than the old days.  It does take more work to "get qualified" and if you aren't willing to take the time and effort then maybe it's not for you.  Believe me, if you do your homework,  it's well worth it and I encourage you to try.  There are lots of people here who will help you but you need to put  in some effort, too, as described above.
Good luck.

Hello Eriksonscott,
Ladies may be on vacation, or just taking time off for themselves. Some may have personal obligations. Some may not read their email everyday, especially in the summer.
Did you fill out their web/contact form?

If am am behind on emails I try to take them in chronological order.  Of course I have exceptions to the rule...
If I am traveling to a upcoming city for example Boston-emails, this week would come 1st.

Or if the email is rude/vulgar, it would be last.

Providers are not sitting by the phone/laptop sporting a Bustier`with make-up and hair all fixed. Well maybe the ones traveling are. Haha!

Hope this helps E!
XXX,
Kristian

If you have taken the excellant advise already given...  read the self help section and read back on this Newbie board until you can answer every question yourself...
Do you have a secure private email or hobby phone?  Many providers will not call or message back unless you tell them to.  Messages intercepted by a family member can spoil the party & bring heat on the provider before you even see them.  
Did you state that you wanted to schedule an appointment?  NO mention of sex or money which would indicate an illegal act & make them suspect they were being set up.
Did you provide enough information for them to screen you?  
Have you read their ads, web site, and reviews...  Do not ask them questions which you can find the information for yourself.
By the way, once you have done your reading and are ready to begin shopping, you should get VIP and read the complete reviews.  The existance of reviews does not establish if they are good or bad.  Many of us have been surprised that girls will link to reviews that are poor...  apparently figuring that cheap guys will not both getting VIP to check them out.  VIP need not be contineous but is very useful in the selection process.  Not only to avoid LE but also to match what you are looking for with services actually delivered...  ads are always vague.  
As a Newbie you will likely have to give some personal information or join a screening service.  
Best wishes

Just contacting a provider for the first time isn't enough...you have to provide her with the right information.  When cold contacting a lady, I always give them my real name, occupation, age and other vital stats that they request on their websites, as well as date, time, and duration as to the particular time I am interested in meeting.  References also are important, and following their directions regarding screening is as well.  Joining a verification service might also be helpful.

I don't know if you were contacting providers by phone or email since your post did not indicate.If you called a provider and she did not answer and you left a message.In that message did you specify when you would like to be called or even if it is okay to call you back?Because many ladies will not return a call if that info was not specified there is a need to be discreet so the ladies more than likely would not call back.If you contacted a provider by email did you provide the necessary info she requires which is usually listed on her website and ads?While,some ladies are good at returning emails some are not but it leads me to believe as seeing you mentioned you have contacted a few providers with no response.Maybe you are not providing adequate info or what some might consider inappropriate.I would suggest contacting a provider give the required info let her know a date and time you are interested in and if she is available.I would also specify if you have no references and if she will see newbies.Might want to consider signing up at a verification site such as P411 or other ones and then search for newbie friendly ladies.

The only time I will not respond back to emails is if there is vulgar language,mention of anything inappropriate,or the "Hey,are you available right now?" all of those are guaranteed to not get a response from me.Just be respectful,patient,and provide required info so she does not have to go back and forth with you for the info she needs to feel safe.
Good luck!

First of all, I'd like to give you my advice on the increasing requests to use your credit card for "verification." Many of the verification sites are scams and what you're actually signing up for is recurring billing.

Regarding the sites that aren't scams, sorry, but no one's getting my credit card info relating to this hobby. It ain't happening. Verify me any way you want but it's never going to involve putting my credit card info into a website. Avoid at all costs. You'll see a lot of people recommending verification sites here. They are shills.

If you are calling escorts, leaving a message and not getting a return call then it's 100% your message content...or they way you're coming across. I have never had an issue with getting return calls by leaving a very basic and professional message; "I'm calling in response to your ad and I'd like to set up a time this afternoon...." I have never had to give details - age, real name, etc...to get a return call. No one's getting my real name anyway...ever. If they say they want my real name, then I want theirs and that generally ends that discussion.

If you're a total noob then yes, your first "date" will be a bit tough. However, once you get references you're golden.

To this point I avoid agencies - which absolutely want your real name and verification. No loss there - most are flat out scams. Stick with indie girls.

I won't bother refuting your other categorical assertions here except to say that every monger needs to calculate what degree of exposure he's comfortable with, and balance that with the selection of providers he wants to be able to see.

Early on, I got references without giving up personal info, and used them to get verified on P411 and Date-Check. That allows me to get screened easily, however I realize that there is a chance, however small, that the info I've provided could be compromised at some point and connected with me. OTOH, there are some providers I wouldn't have been able to see with references alone. If that makes me a shill, so be it.

Many of the escorts are not reliable nor do they answer there phone Sir return messages, this is why you need to check their reviews.  A well established escort, will list her availability and return both emails and calls promptly.
If the escort puts on her profile that she requires certain info for screening and your not leaving that info when you call, then they are not going to call back.

you can pay datecheck and p411 by a gift card and not give out any personal info if you have a escort vouche for you and get you a membership.  Any escort in the USA will see you without you having to give your personal info if your on one of these sites
Its the same as giving TER your credit card number

I'm sorry but I don't know how long you've been at this. Me? Over 25 years. NO ONE puts their credit card into a "verification" website. They are scams and NO LEGITIMATE provider will EVER require that you sign up on one of these sites before she sees you.

If a provide EVER tells you that you "have to" join a verification site then RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN BECAUSE SHE'S A SCAM!!!

im a newbie here and i know the pain. Without references its hard to see the provider you really want which I don't understand because these verification websites only ask for the same thing you could easily confirm with a provider. They really don't do anything special, one phone call, yep that's him!

Because here and on the General board thread, you rant as though there is no difference. Even after it's been repeated that you can get verified on P411 and Date-Check without using a credit card or giving ANY identifying info.

Nobody's saying it's a good idea to respond to CC scam ads. Most of us know enough to skip by that shit without wasting time calling them.

BTW, I've been at this for about a year.

you WILL find someone to see you.It might not be the lady you "really" wanted to see first but you might be surprised that it can still be a pleasant experience.

BTW, I'm still new (less than a year).Recently, the 3 providers I contacted (consecutively) did NOT respond to my requests.The 4th one did and I had a good time with her.It still happens, so, don't give up.

From another veteran I agree, try a verification site or try getting to know a lady through email and or yahoo.  Once there is a trust it does get much easier.
