Keep your approach polite, clean, respectful, & not explicit.
Message who you're interested with sincerity, ask if they are newbie friendly/reference. Be aware that most established providers will require either real world information or provider references.
Do your research, look at reviews, webpage, the providers specific requirements.
The best intial contacts include some basic info and that you're new to the hobby.
Ex. Hey Jane, I saw you on Eccie. I'm John (johndoe on Eccie)white, 45, looking for a one hour appt on Thursday. Would you be available? I'm a newbie and don't have any established references. Saw on your profile that you're newbie friendly. What information do you need from me?
That's nearly a word for word message I recieved recently. Establish your self with one or two providers and ask if you can utilize them as a reference.
Hope this helps.
