I recently got together with a provider who contacted me first. He later said that since I had checked out his profile so many times, there's a good chance I'd take him up on his offer. Needless to say, he was correct. I'm not sure if I would have even known that he was in town if he hadn't reached out. I do appreciate it if a provider reaches out first, as it dissipates a lot of the anxiety about sending that first message. I do have information on my profile, which just makes it easier when communicating on RM. I can say, "check my profile" rather than typing out what I'm into each and every time.
