While most escorts are excellent business women who respond promptly and courteously to emails, there are always exceptions, for whatever reason.  Sounds like you ran into one.

In the future, I wouldn't send more than two emails in a row without getting a response back.  By the end there, you may have scared her off anyway as a possible stalker.

Too many great ladies in the DC area to fret over one missed connection ...

I emailed a visiting provider on Thursday, with all the pertinent details, hoping for a morning appt on Saturday.  Thursday night, late, she emailed saying "sounds great, what time?".  Friday morning i responded " how about 10am?" and inquired about a 2 hour rate - since I saw conflicting rates in authoritative sources.

and then I got put in the cone of silence.  I sent a follow-up email Friday afternoon, followed by a phone message Friday night, with a final, very polite, email this morning.  Nothing.  

So, i am left wondering what happened.

- Did I say something in my followup email that scared her off?  
- Did maybe one of my references turn on me?
- Have I somehow ended up on a blacklist?  (I doubt it, I am an infrequent hobbiest).
- Did she get overwhelmed with other appointments and just not need mine?

Now, the question is about trying to find out which scenario occurred, so that I can avoid it in the future, if it was my fault.

Inquiring minds want to know - what would you do?  Ladies, please feel free to chime in form your point of view too....

And no, I am not going to out the lady at this point, I am posing this as a learning experience, and maybe she will recognize the scenario and help me out!

You emailed her about rates and spooked her.
You probably meant well, but...........

What you consider pertinent apparently doesn't include the time of day and how long? My assumption is she received enough interest earlier and was able to confirm the references and scheduled with others and didn't need anything more.

But to answer you question. Simple, email her one more time and ask what was wrong? You actually shouldn't expect a reply regardless of how others see this as not being professional only because of the obvious, you emailed her and called her how many time with no response?

Let it go.

Would it benefit others to know who it is, maybe. So go where you want with this, best of luck in the future.

Perhaps her policy is that she doesn't discuss money with clients. I can understand that, but it is her fault that she has contradicting information about her donation on her websites. I think you did the right thing by asking her the question before hand. I would rather do that than shortchange the provider.

Giving some benefit of doubt to the woman, I don't know how you worded the email.  Perhaps she thought you were LE.

I suggest you just move on and find someone else to play with.

Why do you all continue to wine about agencies and their problems only to have these issues come up over and over again ?

The drama that has been going for the past few years is not worth it.

Next time stick to an independent.

the initial contact makes a difference.  Providers are not too likely to reserve all of (in your case) Saturday morning from your initial request.  If I was one & had your note in hand & then got a specific request for, say, an 11:00 appointment, your sort of fuzzy request would go to the back burner.  You should always at least suggest a specific date/time (or even a couple of choices but specific as to date/time).  Until you do, a provider probably feels no obligation to reserve time for you, and if a firm time/date offer comes up, you are out.  Doesn't excuse not lettng you know why.

Posted the topic on the wrong thread.

If the 2 hour rate is not listed see another provider.

so you have to chalk it up to the fact that some providers are flakey.

Any number of things could have happened. From a night of too much partying to she decided to leave town.

I wouldnt worry about it too much either way. But there is always the possibility something dramatic or untoward has happened.

Once on travel I had a laptop mishap, and took longer than usually to get back to a few people. Also, on more than one occasion I've had mail end up in my junk/spam folder which I check every few days, and responded late.

As for "conflicting rates in authoritative sources" the rule of thumb should always be her actually website. Places like TER can often be incorrect as the information is often provided by users, and is not under complete control of lady.

Seems you were really looking forward to meeting with this lady, and are not disappointed it didn't work out as you might have hoped. A common occurrence in life - things not working out as you hoped. We have all been there, and it's not as bad as it seems. In retrospect, if you even remember this incident later, it will not seem like such a big deal.

This scene plays out for both sides all the time. Guys will contact ladies seeming all gung ho about setting up an appt and then silence. The same can be said for a lady who says yeah I would love to see you!! Silence,,,it happens, and it very very annoying. Nothing we can do about it though.
