All of my monger experience so far has been with local providers. But I recently noticed an ad for a well-reviewed provider who caught my attention in the past, as she will be touring in my area late this month. So I reached out to her through P411, which I have had for over a year without really using it. She soon sent me a friendly response and narrowed down my appointment request to a couple of slots on each night she will be here. She also made a very minimal screening request, which I answered along with a request for a specific night and time.

And... crickets.

Unless there is a problem with my phone number, I don't see how I failed the screening. But it surprised me that she offered me what I thought would be prime time slots. I am guessing that she is holding out for better opportunities, trying to maximize her limited time here and avoid cancellations. Maybe she is leaving me as a Plan B and I'm not likely to hear anything until just before she arrives. Is this normal booking practice for a touring provider? Or are some even double-booking? If booking a touring provider is more challenging, why would anybody even bother? Should I follow up or just move on?

This is almost identical to my situations. I am P411 employment verified for 1 month with 0 ok's. I booked an appointment which is 2 weeks away with a traveling provider. We had a few communications and then she asked for my phone number and then nothing after providing it. I sent a  message through P411 to confirm and confirmed.  

I would have thought there would be a decent amount of verification since i have 0 review's here and 0 ok's on P411.  

The provide does i might be seeing has 32 reviews. However, the last one was Dec 2016. It does like she is just starting her tours against.  

Any comments?

If no response to that in two days, then move on.

 
You could check with the gals you gave as references (If indeed the screening involved same.) and see if she reached out to any of them.

 
I don't use P411, but have booked with many visiting gals, and never had issues on account of that score.

If she is currently out touring, it can be very difficult to keep up with requests.  

I have an assistant who answers my new-client emails, but I handle PMs on here, P411 & a couple other sites as well.  

Let me tell you: seeing a few people each day, plus travel time almost daily, replying to my repeat/regular clients who expect and deserve a personal response, posting/updating/bumping my ads, on top of the usual day-to-day that everyone has..... is very time-consuming.   I do my best, but sometimes someone slips through the cracks.  
When I was handling it all myself, I was constantly falling behind, which was very embarrassing for me.  

Naturally I try my best not to allow this (hey, it can cost me money!!) but it does happen.

 
Now to address your situation: evening appointments are not MY most sought-after, but they could be for this lady.  Even when I was available nearly round-the-clock, most requests were always for daytime.  The most popular?  Lunchtime and whatever was my earliest available.

 
 We don't know how this lady communicates, so she may actually have you firmly scheduled and is planning to send you day-of details as the date approaches.  
I strongly recommend sending a follow-up message.  If you see that she has logged in to her account, and/or read your message, with no reply after a few days.... let it go.  

... in my experience my bookings with touring ladies has been much more satisfying and reliable than with locals. I assume that it has to do with visiting ladies being more dedicated to recouping their travel expenses so they are less likely to flake or NCNS. My only NCNS to date was from a local flake. All cancellations were from locals too.

I'd send out one more communication and if there is still no reply them move on.

I appreciate your perspective. It turns out that the provider was traveling the last four days and wasn't able to keep in touch. She has now confirmed my appointment.

Debra and another have given great advice. Debra I have not ever meet. She is very well rounded and level headed.  

I would give it a few days then move on. Sometimes when I book dates it has come down to who confirms first with me. Yes I have had where they both wanted to confirm. I saw both providers in those cases.

the same time slot and then the first provider who confirms is who you will see?

This practice is frowned upon by providers.

He plainly stated that in the one case he booked with "both" providers, unless he met them for a threesome it would be rather difficult for him to be seeing them for the "same time slot"

 
I do this all the time. I book short notice, (same day) appointments all the time. I will typically look at the P 411 "available now" section and reach out to someone I am interested in, wait about fifteen minutes for a reply and then reach out to another lady. Sometimes I have to reach out to several ladies in a morning, looking for an appointment for later that same afternoon. Oftentimes one or more of the ladies I have reached out to earlier will contact me later in the day, AFTER I have already booked with someone else. It's rare for me to seem more than one lady in a single day except when on vacation, but that doesn't mean that if I reach out to a woman at 10 AM hoping for a same day session, but she doesn't get back to me until 1 PM that I can't simply tell her my plans have changed and that I would love to see her tomorrow. I have NEVER had a single provider ever get upset about that so it's a win/win for both of us.

 
Obviously etiquette is different when booking appointments a week out, as it's usually good form to give a girl 24 hours to respond before reaching out to someone else, but if I gave women 24 hours to get back to me about a same day session I would spend a lot of days with my dick in my hand. lol

He had a good question. When doing this I book the girls on different days. To avoid the situation of two girls for the same time slot.
