They are still available. They may be only available on a limited schedule since it is summer time. If you don't hear back after a couple days, try again and ask if they got your previous message.
Your method of contact may also be an issue. Text message would probably get the quickest reply.
How you message them is also important. This is a business where a message is a book judged by it's cover so if you appear crude or creepy you could be ignored.
Messages like "Hi, how are you" are a bad start.
A good message would be like "
Hello, I seen your ad on London Sugar and I would love to spend an hour with you (date) some time between _____ and _____ if possible".
Better yet is a message like; ""
Hello, I seen your ad on London Sugar and I would love to spend an hour with you. My name is ______, I am __ years old, have seen ______ and _____. I was hoping for (date) some time between ______ and ______ if possible".
You can also ask questions about her services if you need to. Just be polite about it. Something like "
I enjoy _________________ and was hoping this was something you provide?".
It's polite, doesn't waste time, provides all the details and allows her the ability to make a quick booking without a lot of back and forth irreverent conversation. Don't ask her rates if they are posted in her ad!
These ladies get a LOT of messages and prefer clients they can book quickly and easily since they do have a limited amount of time for replies. Otherwise they "may", put you "on hold" until they have more time to get back to you. Avoid the small talk till you actually are with her.
Messages like "How are you" provides no information and are a complete waste of time unless she's your friend or relative. Her first reaction to that will most likely be....
These are tips based on my 18 years of hearing feedback from providers.
