Ok, this is going to be a really, really long shot, but are you SURE they're not contacting you? Any chance your business card has your old cell phone number, or your voicemail isn't working, or that there's a break in the lines of communication? Was there any difference in the way you organised meeting up with the one woman you did see? I'm grasping at straws here.

But yeah, the real reason is that they probably just don't have the guts to say no, or they are a bit misguided and think that an implied rejection is better or less hurtful than an explicit one. I think most mature people would realize soon enough that an explicit (gentle, but straightforward) 'No' is much better for everybody involved. I'd say you've just had a string of bad luck and that these women think they're being kinder by not saying anything.

Maybe you're not being aggressive enough, and the penny hasn't dropped for them and they don't realize you're asking them on a date? Straws, again...
