Very common and frustrating. I move on if nothing improves on the second message. There are many choices and many are happy to interact with you.

Try offering to set up a hotel to meet and if it is no again, you likely have the answer.

jmichaeliii's post in Does language matter? was marked as the answer
I struggle with it too as I don't want to come off as a sleaze bag.
I have had the most success developing rapport and setting the appointment without getting into specifics.
I then tend to "test the waters" in a first meet to see whats Ok and have been lucky enough to forge a few really nice long term client-provider relationships. Admittedly it took a couple sessions for barriers to go away. My experience has been once both parties are relaxed with one another, great things start happening! I love my sessions with my regulars. That initial patience has paid wonderful dividends.

jmichaeliii's post in Trust was marked as the answer
I think it's like any relationship in life. You build a rapport with each other, there is a consistency with how they treat you. I think after awhile your gut will tell you.
I have 2 guys I have seen for a year and I trust them totally based on what our interactions have been like over that period.
You can always be wrong, but that could be with anyone in life.
