How Long Do You Wait For Response From A Provider Before You Go To The Next One?

I have a slightly different issue of this same problem. One of my favorite SPs who I have been seeing on a regular basis for a long time, all of a sudden and for no reason given is not responding to any of my emails or txt messages. Last time I visited her all went perfectly well. She even approached me with a suggestion for one of my fantasies that if I was interested she could set it up for sometime soon. Since then for almost a month now, no response. I have messaged her with what have i done wrong???.. Still no response.. It is like she has blocked my txts and email.s.. WTF..
She maybe sick or a family issue.
Or who knows what.
You don't know it is personal towards you.
Myself, I always try to keep texts very short.
Assuming that a provider likely gets many and would want it short due to numerous texts to read.
As usual, your replies are well thought out and articulate.
I like to plan a few days ahead as my work schedule is very busy but I try to fit an appointment in when I know I can spare the time.
If I am trying to book with someone for the first time, I usually start with "Hi (name). I would like to spend some time with you. Are you available on (day)?" and go from there.
Unfortunately for me, a lot of providers don't answer in a timely manner (sometimes they take hours or days to get back to me) or don't answer at all!
This also happens with providers that I have seen previously, resulting in no appointment at all or not getting to meet new providers.
The most frustrating part of all this for me is that I have contacted well reviewed providers as well as some others that have been around a while and it still happens so I end up doing this only a few times per year.
I'm in the same boat. I often do not know my own availability so for "spontaneous" / short-notice bookings I usually have a short launch window. I won't wait more than 60 minutes for a response to a text. 30 minutes is more typical, but it depends on the SP too. 15 if I'm in a mad rush, but I do not expect any SP to respond that fast - if they are not otherwise engaged and I get lucky, great.
Also, I'd like to add that's for a first response. I expect a shorter turnaround time for follow-up responses.
As for email, I don't tend to use that for same-day bookings. Even my own response time is measured in hours or days when it comes to email, so I expect the process to be long.
(Been lucky a couple of times, but also have had times where I do not hear back from an SP even after 48 hours.)
I agree, this is helpful.
Although I have my emails linked to my phone, I don't find that email contact works well for same day bookings, particularly as I go back & forth between my South Surrey in call & downtown. For same day requests, text works best. I try to be very prompt in responding to succinct, polite inquiries about availability, duration & location. I will always prioritize them over 'hiii' or 'u avail' inquiries. As Lady Companion says, they are my lowest priority. "u free rn?" just doesn't exactly get my juices flowing! As to what I say to those? I often respond as though they DID have manners. "I'm fine, thanks! How are you?"). If they don't pick up on the hint to put a little more effort in their communications, it's probably highly unlikely that we're going to mesh. When I cannot respond in under an hour (if it's the middle of the night & I'm asleep, say...)I will likely respond simply "Sorry I missed you" as it's polite innocuous & nonspecific, unlikely to arouse any suspicion if the wrong person sees it.
For SP's who always think it's rude to get short, sharp texts, while that may often be the case, please realize many of us use pay-as-you-go phones.
For myself, I often don't keep a lot of time on it and the last thing I need is to get into long descriptions, back-and-forth Q & A's or discussions via text.
It's one reason I'd rather talk to an SP. Gives us both a chance to assess via voice, demeanor, sobriety and responses. I usually find a call goes faster than back and forth texts and the misunderstandings they often produce.

When this is the case, I'd say skip the text all together & call. (Or possibly, send a short text that says "OK to call you?" That's only 2 more letters than "Available?". In my case, if I am not able to talk, I'll send a quick text that says so. This is also not me being rude. This is me avoiding a detailed phone call while I am in line at the bank, or the grocery store, or with family where I do not want to discuss my business. Like you, I prefer to be able to assess the person on the other end, be it by what they say or what they write.
She has not been sick for this long a time. She posts her ads on the regular basis and has made several updates in her website.
It could be something personal towards me but there was no iinkliing of this on my last visit, I left with her saying "see you soon" Plus I inquired in an email if this was the case, with no response.
there is a "whoreachery", some SP's and clients prefer a more casual encounter, or some ladies offer quickies and B&Gos or they are high volume, so not all ladies will be pissed with a simple "Are you available today at (time) for (duration)", short and simple straight to the point, some ladies might prefer even shorter ones like "available, u free, working?" (although IMO I think those are a WOT), and the more higher end ladies will prefer a longer and more detailed intro, and they will consider my acceptable version above a WOT. There are all different types of ladies and clients out there, all levels and different rate structures.
A fairly standard text for me would say something like.
Hello. I hope you are well.
Are you available tomorrow from 10am till noon?
If so let me know.
And a call to discuss details would be great.
Cheers
