So.. this has probably been covered, but I couldn't find anything by searching so I'll ask. Also, this will be my first time ever contacting a provider. P411 verification is in the works, but not complete as of yet.

What is the proper etiquette when contacting a provider for the first time BY TEXT. I am interested in a provider that specifically wants to be contacted by text first.

Ok. So what do I say? I imagine it is NOT "Hey, you working tonight? I'm verified."

Also, while I'm at it, on the off chance she is not "newbie friendly" are there any providers here in the Sarasota Fl area that are? I've used providers in other countries on deployment, but it was always something of a surprise. Intentionally seeking a provider is new to me.

Thanks for your help and your patience.

To be on the safe side, if I were you I would contact her via email, not text.  Or email first (explaining your situation i.e. newbie, no references, will provide x, y, z in lieu of references etc.) then a quick text if you must.  Even with P411 there are some ladies who have a certain number of "Okay's" that are acceptable.  I'll ask: Have you looked at her website? Does she have a website?  Does she see newbies?  Does she respond to text messages?  Most ladies while see newbies but with the previously stated info given if no references, review history, Okay's via P411.  

First of all you need to be polite and respectful with your text..
Ask the lady if she might have some free time to hang out and get acquainted ..
And from here she is probably going to ask you how much time you are wanting to spend?

Do you by chance know her donation rates going in before contacting her??
If you don't, her question opens the door for her rates..
You can then ask her how many "roses" for the hour??
If she doesn't answer your text in what YOU think is a timely manner..don't text her repeatedly because she did not answer right away.. You have to show some patience in this game!

I am in no way an authority on this..I am just letting you know what has worked for me in the past.

Sorry.. I can't help you with the providers in Sarasota..

Yes she has website. Yes I've seen it. It doesn't mention if she sees newbies. No email address, only a cell number, specifically states to text first.

I also have the added challenge of being 29 which some consider too young.

I do know her rates, assuming the website is up to date.

I'm a perfect gentleman. I wasn't raised in barn. Lol. Of course I'll be polite. And of course I'll be patient, I've not sought a provider in America, though I expect I will prefer it to the veritable war zone that dating has become.

...search for the word "Sarasota."  You'll find providers who go to Sarasota.  Then you can check them out to see which ones are Newbie-friendly and which ones are not limited to contact by texting.

Here you go:

So, thanks for your help, but I am well versed in using a search function. I know there are alternative providers, ones that have email addresses.

I was just curious about texting etiquette. I understand that there is a certain cautiousness in this hobby and I didn't want to offend in my initial contact.

Also, as far as I can tell, I'm willing to be corrected, I can't search by "newbie friendly," or "sees clients under 30," both of which would be great ways to search.

Hello, My name is ****, I would like to schedule a date with you for (day) (month) (time) or (time). I can provide the information you request for screening and for you to feel safe. Would you like me to sent the information via text or you have an email address I can forward this information to you.  
Waiting on your response, respectfully, (name).  

 
Wait until she respond (ladies usually have an automatic text message response too) and go from there.

Thank you.

be able to search the P411 site for Sarasota. Take a look at who is newbie friendly and proceed from there.

I agree with what others have said. It is much easier to send a detailed email rather than a long text. However, if she insists on a text, then that is what you have to do.

BTW, is this provider well-reviewed by established reviewers? If not, you might want to search the Florida Ad board.

Good luck.

to see if any providers mentioned them in their posted ad. You may get a hit. Providers do mention being newbie friendly in their ads sometimes.  
.
Veronica's example of an initial text is very good and works just as well for e-mail when that is the lady's preferred method of contact.

That's a good idea, thanks.

Yeah, she pretty well reviewed. 50+ and all of them are good. The most important thing I want is to feel comfortable.
