Sorry for your troubles.

Well on the bright side, sounds like you have a few ladies ready to take care of you whenever you need. Thats always good.

There are a few guys out there, with no one to call.

So smile and thank your lucky stars for the reliable ladies that treat you good. :-)

I agree that saying "try again" in a text or email means try someone else instead, not really interested in your company.

I always find that if one provider doesn't want to see me there are plenty more who will and will like seeing me.

Travel forth my friend, explore other avenues.
I don't think " please keep trying" means, "go see someone else". I have used it before and it simply means, for me anyway, "Please don't give up on me."

Reese : "Please keep trying"
The only time I use the phrase "keep trying", is when someone tries to book with me, but I am either unavailable per my posted schedule, or I am fully booked.

At least that indicates the lady still wishes to see the gentleman...no ambiguity whatsoever...
No no no--- If I have to CANCEL, then yes, I would say something in that vein. I mean if Joe Hobby contacts me and says "Hey, can you see me at 3?" I would reply "Unfortunately, I'm fully booked for the day, but I'd love to see you another time. Just keep trying and we'll make it work!!"

Thats the only time I'd use the words "keep trying"

I have been lucky in that I have had a long run of very good times here. There have been several events recently that have changed that for me. Here is just one example: FAWN BEING ONE OF THEM

I set an appointment with a favorite of mine a week or so in advance. The day before the meet she responded to my emailed a polite, terse cancellation. She gave me more than 24 hours notice, which was appreciated. But she ended her email with "keep trying".(Please keep trying though.) I may "keep trying". I am honestly not sure. And I ended my email with, I hope you're doing well....

I equate "keep trying' with "DIFFICULT". (so sorry you feel that way)

DIFFICULT IS A NON-STARTER WITH ME.

Thank you for listening.

I feel better already!!!! Originally Posted by steverino50

I am so happy you have found some ladies to take care of you.....

I didn't see the word rude in the original rant.

terse: abrupt: brief and unfriendly, often conveying annoyance.

rude: discourteous or impolite, especially in a deliberate way: a rude reply.

I agree with Fawn; this should have been kept off the front pages.
He actually specifically said that the email was "polite" but "terse". Sometimes when we have something pop up we are trying to take care of, we are shorter than we perhaps intend to be.

Perception is everything.

being rude....
