Given that the op's visible track record is quite limited, one review way overdue timewise and another more recently, it may well be that:
1) providers consider you low relative value on a grand scale
2) you didn't exactly meet the provider's info data specifications when you reached out, for example, making a "generic" inquiry rather than specifying "I'd like one hour of your time this Wednesday at 9 or 10 a.m."
3) if you were seeking a session with a very low volume provider she likely may have many regulars awaiting entry and you are at the end of a list.
In any case, my TDL (and I don't know about yours, obviously) is frequently adjusted when I never get the courtesy of a reply.
My counsel to the o.p. is that:
-- he should immediately invest a few bucks in PA
-- ditto for P411
-- post more regularly so folks can evaluate his board presence, persona and likes, dislikes
-- expect that merely by raising the "reply issue" here, he has possibly turned off some providers when they do whatever research they may do into making a connection -- or not.
For the record, the o.p. and all other newbies should also research the Austin newbie friendly thread right cheer in the coed forum.
