I recently decided to try new people and am not having much luck with it.
 
Use to be that it took a provider a few hours or less to screen and set it all up.  
 
I reached out to a provider and gave her more than enough screening information. I was okayed and then... silence. Not exactly silence, but I can't get her to pin down an appt (as she travels). I keep getting I will get back to you but then still nothing. I feel like I am being strung along as she gives me enough attention to keep me hanging on the hope to see her without ever committing. She actively reads my facebook and starts up conversations with me and am not sure if she is feeling me out or lonely. I don't mind the conversation but I also want to meet.
 
I am very comfortable sending a deposit to her and you would think that would be enough to get her butt moving on nailing down the appt.  
 
I never encountered this before and perhaps my 8 hour date is far too much? I have plans beyond fun and wanted the whole GFE, which she is aware that the majority isn't BCD. I wanted to site see and do a few other things, along with dinner.
 
Perhaps I should give it a go and ask one last time for a lesser time frame, such as 3 hours (dinner)?
 
I would normally move on if a provider takes too long, but it is a specialized thing. Plus a lot of mixed messages with her contacting me (not other way around) for chit chat.
 
Yes, have now asked 3 times for an appt. It is hard when she travels. I'd even travel to her but at this point, I can't be sure of her.
 
Also, why do providers try to say it takes a few days for screening? Almost all I know of takes 15 mins or less. If I ran my business like some of these providers, I'd be out of business quick.
 
I'd rather ask you all... your opinions. I do not like texting, social media, emailing back and forth. Just set it up. She's not avoiding me technically but... hm, idk.

I'll be real, I only read half of this long post and already, I am internally screaming STOP WASTING YOUR TIME. Move on. SHE is the one making a living out of this. A customer should not be chasing begging to buy. It should be vice versa. WTF is she stringing you along for? This whole time, you could of been serviced by now.

Got rope?

why would you feel comfortable sending her a deposit?  

I am surprised he didn't add that he might be "falling for her" just to make sure EVERYONE would smack him around a bit.

I didn't think of it like that, maybe that's what I should do. Think that will get her butt moving?

then you probably already know the answer

I give them 48 hours to respond and agree to a day and time.   There are too many on my list to see to waste waiting for any one of them (even if they have very valid scheduling conflicts.)

If you're serious, I'm sure there are plenty of other quality ladies out there who would love to book an 8H date. Forget this one.

Not having to work for it.

Go for the 3 hour date. I wouldn't agree to an 8 hour date with a new guy just because there could be zero chemistry. There's been one exception of course but we had tons of communication prior to meeting.

Maybe that's what she is doing?

some drama.  WTF did you give a provider your Facebook page for?

I've no idea I don't know her. But whereas at this point you have nothing to lose why not just ask?  I really don't know of any reputable provider that says no to a fun date and prefers chit chat on Facebook. Furthermore,  keep this in mind  not everything that glitters is gold. 😉

Making a point?
