Important to never take it personally, unless you're just creepy, manipulative or come across as entitled (like plenty of the usual suspects do). It might have been something in your messages or screening that kept her from responding or it (more likely) could have been that you're messages simply got buried and unfortunately passed over and the timing was off. If the provider in question is someone you're really hot after, you could leave it open to maybe circling back around after a good bit of time has passed. Maybe something like "Hello, tried to connect awhile ago but it didn't happen, curious if maybe we could try again?" - but there's a TON of variables that could make this either a terrible idea or the best idea ever.
There's no written formula or standardized protocol to any of this shit...
