Just to respond to the OP, I commend you for at least including your name, that already puts you better than average. However writing and asking “rates and restrictions?” is not effective in my opinion and it’s also not a booking inquiry.
Firstly, info on rates may already be included in a provider’s ad and website. I know you said it wasn’t however most don’t bother to look. Also, rates for what length of date? For what type of service? Answering this question fully would require copying an entire page of my website which makes no sense by text.
And how are we supposed to answer a question on restrictions? These can vary by booking type, the context and by person. Are we supposed to list absolutely everything such as no tongue in ear, no agressive digits, no cum in eye or hair… You can see how impossible open-ended and non-specific questions are to answer if you think of it from a provider’s perspective, especially as we can’t possibly anticipate every situation. And many clients will claim false advertising if we don’t mention a restriction or provide all the caveats.
We can receive dozens of inquiries daily and so writing something to ask questions without communicating any intention to book makes you sound like a tire-kicker and possibly a time waster. You’re competing for a provider’s attention in a sea of inquiries, weak ones get set aside in favour of someone who sounds like they’re ready to book and already know they want to see us. Even if the provider does respond, you’ve already raised suspicions you may not be serious, so burning off goodwill to chat further without closing a booking.
To be effective, a booking inquiry should include basic information like your name, the city you’re looking for (we have people writing us from all over the globe) the date or rough date and time(s), whether incall or outcall mentioning whether hotel or residence and then what you’re looking for.
I’m personally ok with a couple of service questions or acronyms provided it’s not ridiculous or the entire laundry list but others may not be so use some discretion here. For example, “I like sensual dates and wondering if you offer kissing?”
Most of my inquiries are really weak TBH and I can see why many providers just stop responding altogether until they receive a proper booking request or remove texting as an option in favour of a booking form.
If you’re not receiving responses or worse, getting snippy ones back, it likely has something to do with your texting game. Try to remember you’re not on Tinder and include the same info you would to book any other service and this will make a lot more sense. I’m pretty sure not even my cat groomer would reply if I sent a message asking, “rates and restrictions?” or that old chestnut, “you avail?”
