PLEASE don't take it personally!
I hate when people get their feelings hurt when I just didn't see their message.
One time I got three messages like this (paraphrased):
1. Hi, Freya! I've been dying to meet you. Can I see you today?
2. I still haven't heard from you. I want to see you.
3. I'm starting to think you just don't want to see me. Don't you want to make money?
4. Okay...I guess you don't want to see me. I don't know what I did wrong, but it's YOUR loss.
I received all four of the messages on the same day before I ever read the first one, LOL!
Personally, if I'm not going to see you, I will tell you why. I know there are different opinions on this, but the reason I do it is so the client can hopefully learn from his mistake and go on to be a better hobbyist. Even though he might be pissed at me.
I'd much rather someone be upfront with me about a problem instead of just ignoring my attempts to communicate until I "get the hint" that something is wrong, but I will never know what the problem was.
