PM's or text

[phunbill]

Over the past few months I have tried to set up appointments using PM's, have only got one reply,
I usually ask if they are available for an appointment next day at xx o clock, I would call them 30 minutes before.
No responses.
Is this usual? why advertise PM's if you dont reply?
The one reply I got was excellent, meeting arranged and it was delightful.

Another question, Why the reluctance to use text messages? is it because they don't have credit?

I try to arrange to visit a girl after work, I can't phone for an appointment during work, so texting would really suit me.

Call them that's all you have to do.

From experience Niall , the PM option has attracted mostly timewasters.
99.9% of any PM's I received were utter assholes looking for chat; asking questions i'd answer, then they'd respond with another question even though I told them to call me to arrange.
So sadly Niall whilst you are obviously in the 1% bracket who's genuinely looking to make an appt; all the other idiots have ruined it.
If it's your priority then you'll find time to call.

Probably true but you know sometimes I use it or try in the off chance but 9 out of 10 time it's a waste of time your right.

pm wont work if you are knew and texts are just a waste of time as it does not give the impression you're serious, just ring her up
