My first phone call failsad_smile

I had my first attempt at contacting a provider (well reviewed) via phone tonight and it was short and sweet (or not so sweet):

Me: "Hi, is this so and so?"
Her: "No" *click*

I realize these things are going to be hit and miss, but the response just seemed odd, and a little rude (tone of her voice). I'm sure providers have their bad days or just aren't or don't want to be available sometimes, which I fully understand, but if that's the case, why answer the phone just to almost immediately hang up? Was my one and only opening line how typical LE calls start?

Oh well, I've already moved on. At the other end of the spectrum i got an email response from another provider stating, in a nice friendly respectable manner, she's not currently available but will be in the coming week.

Sometimes these girls share phones, these girls also change there nickname. Maybe she quit? You said shes well reviewed so I'm kind of at a lost here.

Check your data source...  in case you miss dialed.  Otherwise, she's unavailable.  Life is short.  Move on.  (Eat desert first!)

Just move on, sometimes it is not easy. The good news is there is plenty to explore.

maybe you really did get the wrong number?

It does happen, I once got about four calls in a row from a guy looking for a friend of his...the number was nowhere near mine, but for some damned reason it kept going to my phone.

Recently (a couple of weeks ago) I called a friend's cell phone and a guy answered, I asked for my friend and he said wrong number... I had called via speed-dial that I have used countless times before.
When my friend called me I asked her about it, and she assured me no guy had her phone...

so wrong numbers do happen.


I say try again, and see if it was really the wrong number (by the way if it could be a common mis-dialing that could explain the person that answered being a little rude, back in the days of landlines I used to get calls for a Chinese Restaurant...after enough of them I would either be a bit short...I always wanted to play like I was the restaurant, but never had the guts to)then trying again by manually dialing the number might fix things.

Check her website again. Does she request first contact be made by e-mail only? Some ladies prefer to be contacted by e-mail first. If this does happen to be the case, it still doesn't excuse such a rude and abrupt response on the phone.

Here's my advice:

Whenever I call someone (for the first or fourth time) I alway start the call by saying "Hi, this is Ziggy.  I'm calling about getting together"  It will create some good will by giving your first name (an identifier) first instead of asking for trouble like you did.  If this really is your first time calling, I would be prepared with the information she requested you have ready (date, time and length of time for getting together) and be ready to divulge some harmless facts about yourself.  

Remember you're engaging in a conversation where you want to entice the lady to see you as much as she wants to entice you to see her; all the while you both are necessarily being very cautious.

It happens. Actually, quite a few girls mention that they do not have time to talk/discuss things over by phone. I would start from an e-mail message. Once the contact is established and you go through her screening she will leave you the phone number to call to. I strongly suggest that you deal with some one who screens.
