You graduate from Newbie status when you stop to get hung up on one provider.
Let me rephrase that: Just move on, you already have good references and building a few more will further your cause.
But you will always get NOs (and NCNSs) for whatever reasons.

Bottom line, the numbers alone show (figuratively speaking only) there are a guesstimated 30-40 guys looking (aka, either actually trying to book or contemplating booking) at any one woman each day. If one doesn't work out (for any number of valid and invalid reasons), then just move on. I normally make a decision on WHO I want to see and go for that one. If it doesn't work out, I still have my gift and have lost nothing. I simply wait for another day. Once in a while I'll have a backup plan. That's just me, but some are not as patient as I am.
Lately (about the past 6-8 mos.) I've ventured into new waters for me. In the past I have basically stayed with maybe three different providers, only occasionally venturing out. Last year I saw one provider 8 times and another 6. So far this year I have seen 13 different providers for a total of 17 dates. With two I've repeated once and with one I've repeated twice. (No, I don't post reviews all the time.) However, I'm beginning to consider going back to my two or three regulars simply because it's less drama, but I'd like to establish maybe one more reliable provider first. We will see. In fact I even tried to book this past weekend with a sweetheart and long-time favorite, but she had just checked out of her room so it didn't work.
Here's a few ladies I need to get back to see some time soon:
CrystalKitty - seen multiple times
SarahSmiles - seen multiple times
Monica Austin - seen once but enjoyed
Crystal Lake - seen once but enjoyed
Then there are some that I have not seen but that I'd like to see. I've got my short list and hope to fill it before the year is up. At the same time, I've removed at least two from my short list (which makes it a shorter list) simply because they are just too hard to book with. I'm not going to work that hard. Then there are others that I'd love to see, but I'm not about to fork over the premium required and won't insult them for trying to get it. I just don't call to begin with.
So bottom line, do your homework, don't sweat the small stuff, jump through the hoops you need too and enjoy yourself as well as these beautiful women.
(Dang, that turned out longer than I intended it to. Oh well, I'm leaving it.)
