That got me wondering... Is there anything wrong with reaching out to a provider if she hasn't posted that day? I've always followed a code of only shooting a note/text if the lady has posted her "Open for business" sign that day. Is that the proper etiquette, or have I been screwing myself for years by not reaching out whenever there hasn't been an ad posted that same day?

If a lady hasn't posted in a few
months, I might be hesitant to approach her for fear she's moved, quietly retired, or on tour, but if she's posted in the last week or two I've always figured it doesn't hurt to PM asking about availability; the worst she could say is "No, I'm not available", and I'm no worse off than I was before asking. (Ok, the worst she could say is "No, I wouldn't ever see you, even if you were the last whoremonger on Earth", and even then maybe I'm better off, because now I can add one more name to the "Ladies I need never bother" list.)
In fact, I've had pretty good luck messaging ladies who have posted ads in nearby cities, asking if they might consider stopping in Memphis, or at least letting me know in advance if they were ever in the area; on several occasions they've changed their travel plans to accommodate my request (luck most likely assisted by a failure of guys in her original target city to prebook; I have no illusions about my magnetic personality and smoldering good looks
