For guys, it's not usually a choice.  Either our schedules allow pre-booking or they don't.  

My schedule is such that I usually don't know my availability until the same day.  I would hate to schedule on someone and then have to cancel because something came up at work.  So, usually I am down to contacting someone and asking if they are available in the next few hours.  

Because of this, if there is someone I am interested in, I usually try to get verification taken care of in advance.  It's normal for me to email someone and say "Hi.  I am interested in seeing you, but can't schedule in advance. Is it OK for me to contact you for a short notice appointment? If so, here is my verification information.  I understand that this means often you won't be available.  As long as you aren't bothered by the request, I won't be bothered by a rejection.  "

The reason I say this is more a question for the ladies is because it's up to a woman if she wants to be available for short notice.  Some women get insulted at the idea that they are just sitting around waiting for your call.  Others put "available now" ads up.  

Most women will take prebookings. It is then their choice whether they will accept short notice appointments when they can, or if they never want them on principle.

I prefer to pre book but sometimes I have meetings canceled so I will try and book same day. I respect that some ladies won't take same day appointments and I won't contact them.

However, every now and then I get stood up by someone unreliable and since my play time is so limited I scramble for a "replacement" so the day isnt a total loss.  I have found some gems this way, one of whom I still see on a semi-regular basis.  Prebooking is not just for the ladies, sometimes it is to lock in a day in a busy girls schedule for me.

Women s perspective

From a woman's perspective , I like to have my schedule ahead of time , so I rather be pre booked . When I come to the city I visit family and friends and mix that with " fun " , so the more in advance I know the better !

Same day only with ladies I already know, and with whom I already have a line communication.

That being said, it's rare that I venture outside my circle of friends...though not always.  

LOL> AFter 36 hours, the answer seems to be "YES"...

and men say women can't seem to make up their minds! Sheesh!  

My own answer is "Sometimes yes, sometimes no", LOL!

Sorry Latika, just having some fun with the thread.

IMO, I think most guys try to plan ahead, but will leap at an opportunity (free time combined with horniness NOW) as well. Thus, no one-trick ponies.  As inconvenient as I know that can be for the gals
