I would give them till the weekend. At that point, I would start contacting others that your interested in. Now if this happens again with other providers, then you may need to check in with your references.

In terms of references... what is the protocol if you will as far as providing them? Do I need to contact the reference to let her know I would like to offer her input as a reference??

Great input from SAMan37. As far as your questions it is a good idea to contact the reference if you have not used her before or if you are not a regular. Like if someone calls her and goes "what do you think of gtrplayer?" and she responds "who is gtrplayer?" that's not good.
Letting them know in advance that you are using them as a reference is good so that they remember who you are. Most of the ladies i use as references already know me, so i dont give them a heads up.
As far as your original post what SAMan37 is right on. Sometimes screening takes a while, sometimes other things get in the way who knows.
Contacting everyday will become annoying, you just have to give it some time and then weigh how much you want to see the particular provider and decide if you want to keep contacting her. It happened to me before. I sent request with references and nothing. I sent reminder PM and nothing. I was going to pass on the provider, but i kept seeing awesome reviews and she was just what i was looking for. Tried again, got response saying i was good, sent appointment request and nothing. Finally decided to give it one more try a week later and politely asked if there was soemthing wrong with screening, etc., and she replied no and we set up. I saw her and then i kept seeing her regularly for over a year till she retired. She became an ATF. She said she just was swamped with messages and could not get to all of them.
So you just have to decide how much you want to see a particular provider. If the hassle is becoming too much, then move on to another lady.
