nor have I ever been. One inquiry. I give it 36 hrs. tops then I bail till I come across someone else i'd be interested in. I'm not going to be MOLDED. I control my impulses.

I usually send an email to the lady I wanna see.  I usually get a reply, but If I didn't in 2 days, I would most likely move on to the next on my list.

If I don't receive a reply within three days, I'm moving on to plan B.

I only pursue one lady at a time.  If if falls thru, then I go to look at another on my list.  I never contact multiple ladies at same time.  If my number one does not work out, then I go to the next one.

I don't contact providers often, but when I do I do my research, pick a provider that I really want to see and send an email, PM, etc.  If I don't hear back within a couple of days, I generally send another email. If no response, I move on.

Send one, wait for a reasonable amount of time, no reply then I will move on.

Generally, I don't (rather can't) make spur of the moment appointments so not problem for me.

I usually send one request, and wait 24-48 hours for a response.

If I get no response, then I move on to the next one on the list.

I wouldn't like to have a "sophie's choice" situation, in which I would have 2 or more providers sending me emails, to try to schedule a date.....  My Plan B is the next gal on my list....

I am more of a spur of the moment type, so I usually look around and see who is available or check with someone I have seen before. Usually whoever responds first is who I see. But, like I said, I dont plan ahead very well and I never know what I am doing or where I will be.

I usually wait for an hour.  If I don't get a response by then, I feel free to contact another.  The first one who get back to me gets the date but would prefer the first one if possible.

Normally I plan ahead and send out only one request at a time. I have had occasional last minute opportunities and sent out multiple requests but even those are as close to one at a time as I can get and if the lady gets back to me too late for that opportunity I have usually made another appointment with them in the near future. If I contact a lady I am prepared to follow through even if not exactly at that time.

I generally do my homework and contact a provider to see if she is available to see me. I usually am the one that has a restriction on availability. Ofcourse if I am going to revisit an ATF I already know this answer. I am not one to make multiple appointments and then choose the "best" one that is available. I respect a providers time and if the word gets around that I am unreliable or a "flake" I'll never get a date.
Many providers require screening so that is one factor, an urge doesn't always mean I can see who I prefer. It is almost comical sometimes, you would think that with ALL the ladies out there advertising on many boards, it can be impossible to get laid. Especially on the weekend. Ladies that answer phone calls voicemails will be so full that it's impossible to even leave a message. Some providers don't email, some only text. some only work certain days.

I check with one at a time. I don't often have the chance for a spontaneous same day appointment. I e-mail and then wait to hear back. I've never waited more than 36 hours.
I wouldn't take the "shotgun" approach. Based on many of the posts here from time to time it appears to be a common method employed by some.

If I had a last minute opportunity I'd call the agency I use.

It is true as one earlier poster said it works both ways. Some providers will "overbook" and leave some guys hanging. Again I'm fortunate that it hasn't happened to me. But eventually it could.

I have sent pms to several ladies in my many years here and received responses from one week all the way up to 9 months.  Many of them have stated I don't do this full time to my all time favorite, "well, I have a life outside of this."  By not responding back to me in a timely manner, I wasted my time and could have seen someone else.  

Because some ladies are like this and when time to play is limited, many guys have learned to send out multiple requests to see who is available and can meet at the desired time.  

Sorry to hear this happen to you, but this is one of the darker parts of this hobby.

In the past couple of years, it has become more difficult to get responses from providers.

I generally plan ahead, at least a couple of weeks, as I only hobby when I travel. So I have followed a similar process to what a lot of guys who answered you have done - send out a request, wait a couple of days, and move to the next provider on the list.

What has been amazing to me is that in the past couple of years the response has dropped toward the 50% rate. On two or three recent trips, I ended up with only my golf clubs for entertainment. I haven't made any changes to the note of introduction I have sent for years, but the response rate used to be very close to 100%.

Not sure why the response rate has dropped so much in recent years. I've thought about sending several requests at the same time, but for all the reasons you so vividly describe, I have not.

So that's the other side of the story.

Generally, at least a week and only one contact at a time. If I don't hear back within a couple of days, I might move on or possibly just skip a week.

The bigger problem is once I set something up with one provider, all of a sudden my other favorites are rolling into town. It's happened so many times in fact that the other providers think I don't want to see them anymore. It's just bad timing on their part though and I would never cancel an appointment to see another provider. Beyond not being very nice, you ladies talk and I know I'd get caught, lol. Fear of providers keeps me honest

I will always try my first choice 1st. If that goes wrong the second try may be with two to see who calls back. In the past week, I have had 3 ladies cancel on me for various reasons and I finally got a hold of the 1st girl I wanted.

My phone just went off about 10 minutes ago and it was a message from an agency saying that the lady was cancelled again...a third time. I only start trying multiple dates if I am getting shafted like this or if I am in a city away from home and I only have a couple of days. Sometimes things work out great and other times I get cancelled on all week long.

This is exactly why I have made the decision to work with 1 lady exclusively now. I picked a provider who I know of through another provider that I had seen before. She is exactly what I look for out of a provider based upon her performance and the types of clothes she wears. I'm done hopping around the yard like a lost rabbit. I'm sure once I have seen the same provider a 2nd and 3rd time, I will see less cancellations and probably more accommodation regarding my schedule. I actually held out to see her because I want to start a long lasting friendship.

If its an attractive provider, I may wait for an hour or so. Then look to my next option. Honestly, when I ready, then I'm ready. I really don't want to wait. If however, I call ahead and schedule something like 5 hours ahead, then its totally fine. If however, I just want some1 quick, I may call about 5 providers within an hour. Sometimes, 2 or 3 call me back within the hour and I tell them who I want as a result of them calling back. It works both ways.

I have an ATF, and she is the first one I contact. I normally book days in advance, so I have time.

But, if it is short notice (less than 2 days), then I will send out feelers to a few ladies, and see who responds. I then pick one from whoever responds in the next few hours.

I'll send a few as I usually procrastinate - then it's first come first serve

I sometimes try to reach 2 or 3 different providers almost at the same time. I usually wait an hour or two for a reply, but in some cases, like when I'm traveling and my original choice has cancelled, I step it up.

However, I'm upfront about my situation in my message. And if I make a date then a second girl gets back to me, I'll try to set something up for another time. So everybody's happy.

I usually try to make appointments for same day or next day. I don't usually find myself thinking, "I dare say, wouldn't it be jolly to enjoy the company of a sexy woman a week or two from now?"

I always contact one provider at a time. For me it is a matter of respect. I generally wait about 24 hours for a response. If I don't hear back then I move on. For that first lady that didn't respond, then my assumption is that my patronage is not all that important to her. That she has a conflict and can't see me is ok. I just expect that she would respond in some fashion. I guess I am just old fashioned...

to try and contact one provider to set up an appointment, and usually only move on to another one if I'm unable to contact the first after a week or so or, if she's a travelling lady, if she leaves town before I get a chance to see her.

Speakig of which, if you ever travel to Phoenix I took a look at your website, and just have to say MERCY!
