The first couple were written ten years ago, so he's hardly a noob.
I probably would have skipped over you suggesting he "follow their rules" by filling out the form, but you put it first on your list, so I felt obligated to chime in about those insipid forms. Your advice was correct though. As usual I might add, but don't go getting a swelled head over it. lol
Was wondering what should be an acceptable time frame to get a response about a date. I understand that a first date requires some screening etc so that might take a little longer. But a what point do you follow up? Just curious because it seems that it takes longer and longer to hear back & sometime not at all. Would love to know what others think.
If I am interested I send an inquiry with my info - if I hear back that's fine and if not that's fine - I don't fixate on any one particular "date" - if she is interested based on the information I've supplied she will let me know - meanwhile lotsa pretty fish in the sea.....
Of course many girls will get back to you quicker than that, but it's based on their sched that day.
If you don't hear back in 3-4 days, I would follow up with her, as emails do get trapped in spam, don't make it to the girl at all, etc.
If you don't hear back in a day or two from your follow up, I'd forget her.
Some girls take breaks from the biz but don't set an automated response to let the guys know, which is unfortunate.
One thing though. Make sure you contact her by the method she requires (e.g. fill out her complete form, email only, phone only, etc) for if you don't, she may just trash your initial contact. Scout her website good to see if she has a preference
I absolutely refuse to fill out any of those insipid screening forms as well. As he just said "I have never filled out a website form, and I never will"
Aside from that i do actually agree with what Jack said.
I never fill out forms either. Ever. But the OP was possibly wondering why he may not hear back from a provider and not following her preferred contact method of filling out her form is one of the possible reasons, is it not?
Some guys have no problem filling out the form. If he is in that camp, and really wants to see a girl who requires it (admittedly, very few demand it, but some do) by not filling out her form, that may jeopardize him seeing her.
Seeing his 6 reviews also made me think he is proly a newb and coupled with his inquiry, I thought I'd give him info he may not know.

than CPA's! LOL.
Oh Christ, now I've gone and done it! I'll now have the "The Resident, Sinister Evil One" now all over my shit! LOL
But by the time I read his nasty reply, hopefully I'll be on my plane to L.A. with two drinks under my belt. LOL.
Peace.
I try to set the date in the morning, three days prior to the evening I'm hoping to visit her. So 90 hours of "anticipation" time. Don't expect her reply right away, but if I don't hear from her by late afternoon the next day--about 30 hours after the first email--I contact her a second time. Then, if there's nothing in my inbox when I wake up on the third day, I send a "doesn't look like it's going to happen" message. And...play it from there.
If I've never had the pleasure of meeting the lady I'd like to visit, it's basically the same, except I wait a full 48 hours before the second email. That usually elicits a quick yes or no.
I seldom have no-response problems, but sometimes it takes time. So inquiring three days in advance usually suits us both.
If I'm extremely enthralled with a new woman who catches my attention, sometimes I set the appointment a week or more in advance. That's rare, and I do it only to enjoy looking forward to the encounter.
If you would be a member of a verification service you would usually get a quick and expedient answer. If you are just giving references along with email, then you would be waiting a little longer because the provider needs to hear from the verifying provider. Thus the time can vary from as little as maybe 20 minutes to three days or more. That is just one reason it pays to be a member of a verification service in addition to having reviews here or on other boards.
My policy is ,Three days MAXIMUM.
THEN MORE ON TO THE NEXT PERSON.
two to three days, you will not hear back at all.
Your choice whether to follow up or not. I usually do. Unfortunately, most often the follow up also disappears into some abyss, never to be acknowledged. No sense assigning blame or motive, or getting your boxers in a twist over it, although we all know it is supremely annoying. Just move on, maybe try again in a few months.
Bottom line, IME if you hear back within 24 hrs, you will have a date - assuming you can pass her screening. If no response within three days... a date anytime soon is extremely unlikely, regardless of followup
I rarely book more than a few hours in advance, but P411 makes that a breeze in most cases.
If I contact a lady in the morning for a same day appointment and haven't heard back in an hour or so, I usually move on to someone else, If I hear back from the first lady hours later or even the next day, no biggie, most likely I will still book with her. Just because I see someone on Monday doesn't mean I won't be horny again on Tuesday. lol
I also rarely contact a lady more than once without a response, if it's someone I really want to see, I may reach out again after about 24 hours, but no way am I sending three unanswered emails. As a very wise man said "I will beg for pussy, and I will pay for pussy, but I will not beg to pay for pussy"
It seems to be part of my recent pattern that I don't get any responses from anyone the first time I contact. It takes at least two emails or calls from me to get a response. Maybe the word has gotten out.
I would have to go back to fucking civvies if that were the case, as I refuse to have to jump through hoops to pay a woman several hundred dollars for an hour or so of her time.
Of course, I barely notice if a lady takes her time in getting back to me, if it takes her a week to get back to me, no biggy, I have most likely already seen two or three women during that time, so nothing lost from my perspective. When she finally does get back to me, chances are I will still be interested, but I am not about to simply sit around with my dick in my hand waiting for one single hooker that may or may not ever call me back. That kind of defeats the purpose of what we do, don't you think?
Unless, of course, you simply say "hello" or "are you available " at 2am, then never.
I would say acceptable time to wait for a response is 24-48hr.If you do not hear back send another email inquiring if she received your request sometimes emails do go into spam or don't go through.
Sometimes ladies take breaks,on vacation,unavailable,etc it would be nice to have an automated response that states this but sometimes that is not the case.
I respond to all emails within 24hrs most of the time within a few hours.
Even though it does take time to screen I usually will respond to an email and let the guy know I received his email and will get back to him after screening.
After the second email if still no response I would move on.

Thank you for asking
In my opinion, 24 hours at max. Keep in mind your initial email or her response may have gotten stuck in Spam Folder
Ya know, they have a life too. Last one, I sent request Saturday morning and received response Monday morning. If I had not heard from her, would have sent a quick, just following up on a request sent XX days again, thanks! email. If nothing heard on follow up, move on...
Of course, I've broken that rule before, but it ended up being well worth the trouble. So really depends on your desire to see a certain provider...
