Dean I've noticed a similar pattern ...
There's also that element of the girl/guy having second thoughts about what they are about to do and freaking out about it before the shoot. Then they get embarassed they are flaking and become non contactable. When they get over it, they contact you and the cycle starts again.
I've found that if you are talking to a model and there is even the slightest hesitation in them, or if its their first time, you need to be a little less pushy with trying to lock them into times. Tell them you are interested in working with them but if they aren't really keen to do it maybe they need to go and rethink their direction. The best models are the ones that love it so explain this to them and tell them to contact you when they are ready.
I'd had success with inviting a new model to watch a shoot of an experienced model too, obviously all parties need to agree but this seems to work well for me with girls ...
Good luck ;-)
