Not saying that she should confront him about seeing someone else but just say some like she had been thinking about him.

So you're ok pitting providers against each other, as long as you might be able to save a few bucks... rather than encouraging them to work together, for their own safety and yours?
If every provider started conducting business this way, you either won't be seen by the provider you chose, or she will be forced to take a gamble to see you... With zero reassurance that you're safe. No one will want to ask for references, for fear that their appointment will be taken. With no one using references, our network fails to work. Without checkpoints, Eccie becomes no better and no safer than Backpage.

From the client perspective, if she did that then he's the one being a douche if he takes her up on it and backs out on the original provider he sought out. He would run the risk of alienating that provider, I think.
However, another consideration is that it's poor provider etiquette to initiate a call or text to a client, as a well known provider here told me just last night. Too much risk of someone else answering the phone or seeing the text. Discretion is key.

Very poor etiquette indeed. The client informed me that the provider who refused to give me a reference continued calling and texting him at random hours, until he finally had to block her for fear that his SO would catch the communication.
