Does anyone here manage a business with a 'contact us' section on their site?

Just wondering does anyone here run a business with a website and a 'contact us' section on their website?

Where it's an online box to submit your details?

Basically I started with a new massage clinic last weekend and I am interested in booking another massage but their online booking system doesn't allow to book a 90 minute massage and you have to call instead. It's still a small business and I don't feel comfortable calling to be honest in case the Massage therapist is working on a client or what not. And just in case I get through to an answering machine or whatever.

I used their contact us form instead to request a full body massage and I expressed an interest in booking a massage once a month from here on in for the foreseeable future.

But I never got a response from it.

This is something that I absolutely need in my life. Stress is just too tremendous right now for me and there's no end in sight and it's only going to get worse.

• I am long term harassed
• work goes in and out from various levels of intensity and it's an intense spell right now and there has been some days that were too gruelling
• I have a mother that is likely going senile
• I have a sexless engagement

On a scale of 1 to 10 my stress levels would be 110. This is coming from someone who strives to focus on positives. I just feel sick with everything that's going on.

The sexlessness was originally coming from my partner but at this stage of he ever tried to touch me again I wouldn't be able for it any more. It's just been too long.

I think you will need to phone and leave a message. Or you could find a time on the site that there is an available slot tomorrow morning and call then, as the massage therapist probably won’t be busy then

And consider breaking off your engagement if you are resigned to being sexless?

To answer your question, yes I have a contact form and it goes through to my email address. I check it every day.

Yes, just call.
The therapist will have a way of managing calls while she's with a client.

Do you have a plan to tackle the rest of your post?
Who's harassing you?
You don't have to stay in an unhappy relationship or horrible job - can you tackle one at a time?

Are massages really that good that they can sort all that out??

Same here, checked every day simple to fill in form.

I get a lot of spam from the bots but I still check it

Are you confusing massage with therapist?

😂😂😂😂
They can't sort any of that but hopefully they can help me get through some though times. This summer is going to be awful. I know it already.

We had one of those and took it off. We got loads of spam through it and then the actual true messages weren’t always coming through anyway. So it’s possible the business hasn’t got your message.

Ok, thank you for your reply. I think I will leave it another day or so and contact on the phone. There is an option to contact on the socials - WhatsApp etc. Should I go down that route maybe?

Well, it sounds like you want to talk more about your sexless engagement (end it surely?) and other issues rather than talking to people with a contact box on their website.

Ring, if they are massaging someone they won’t answer. If you get through to an answer machine then they’ll call you back.

Send a WhatsApp then. Probably better for your comms preferences

Darlin, a monthly massage is not going to sort out your problems! Why are you marrying someone you don't want to have sex with?

For what it's worth the contact form on a website usually generates an email to whatever address the business/website owner has set up. But just call them.

I try and avoid contact forms if I possibly can both at work and at home, very few businesses seem to reply to them. And they have all those annoying anti-bot things (I know, it helps but they are a pain). Phone or normal email are usually better. You could always phone out of hours and leave a message if it's easier. But then they would have to call you back.

I would be able to work through the majority of my issues and a regular massage will definitely help me. My body aches so easily from tension. A massage will help with energy too.

The biggest challagne in my life is the harassment. It's a huge burden at this stage and at this stage it is a form of torment and torture. I hope to go to my GP at some stage and explain what I am going through and just how bad my mental health is right now. Which spell of harassment I am sinking lower and lower. I also want my GP to write a letter for me to explain that this is torture that I am going through and I will take that to legal professionals.

No one here knows just how bad my mental health is right now.

Please try to see your GP this week. It's very important to have what's going on documented. You may need it in the future.
