That's a problem for me, too. I'm a spur of the moment guy. I live in Macon so I'm stuck to either finding out on short notice that a lady is in Macon or getting short notice that I'll be in Atlanta. It's part of the reason why much of my experiences are with agencies. Independents are usually a little more difficult and time consuming to book with - and that's not a knock on them, it's just the way things are.

On my vacation this week, so I could make a trip up there and combine it with a Braves game. But right now I'm not in "the mood". Wednesday morning I might just wake up and decide to treat myself. Not going to go through the hassle of booking until I'm sure, though

Makes all the difference.  Some of the highly rated and limited availability ladies book up pretty far out.  Also, I have limited windows of opportunity.  Because of all that I tend to schedule a week or two in advance.

...I usually schedule from 3 days to a week out. I like to make sure I get to see the one I want to see.

Besides, I prefer to pre-book to arrange my schedule. When some indies and agencies doesn’t pre-book, I never get chance to see them. While I do understand their reasons (NCNS), I always confirm a day ahead because of it, I think not pre-booking is a missed opportunity for both sides.

I have appointments set up days, weeks and even months in advance.  However, I can usually accommodate last minute requests.  I am almost always available for outcalls.  Requests for last minute incall appoints are a little harder for me because I don't have a permanent incall location.   Also, some ladies have other jobs, classes and family responsibilities and therefore,  need to schedule accordingly.  As far as pre-screening, I don't think it's a pain, especially with all the technology available and I do think it's necessary for safety reasons.

Just the way it is.

I often plan meetings far in advance, typically if I have not met a lady yet.  You have to account for the lady doing her due diligence in screening etc. Having said that, there are a few ladies (past and present), once we've met already,  that don't mind a last minute email to check their availability.
 
Cheers and rock steady!

Schedule for that week and it also depends on the girls availability. Some need that much or even more time. I'm not that much of a spur of the moment guy since I have a live in GF that lets me hobby as long as I wake up with her every morning. She has cut me way down though....LOL..... I also have a standing date with my ATF for every Friday night. I don't have to book as she just knows I'm coming. I do confirm with her on Friday just as a courtesy but it's not needed.

It great when you have someone prescreened so when that spontaneous moment arises, theres no delay waiting for references to clear.

I dont mind pre screening at all....

I actually prefer it I am VERY RARELY available for last minute request. I have had pre bookings for several months ahead of time.  I just booked soemone yesterday for August  
IMO prescreening makes things easier Now I usually get request for the same week and even 24hrs notice but rarely am I available for same day ventures.

from experience prebooking weeks in advance usually end with an email about sorry couldnt make it in town

Most commonly I book 3 to 7 days in advance. Sometimes the day before. But then there are times that I am in town and have a spur of the moment opportunity for some play time, in which case I will call a lady that I have visited previously so that screening is not a consideration. As the OP mentioned, it seems to me that there are very few indies or even agencies that are interested in pre-screening.

That's coming from someone who has no life, so I can only imagine how hard it is for ladies who work a 9-5, have a family, and only do this on the side. I simply have never, and will never accommodate last minute suitors. It makes me rush, puts me in a bad mood, and who wants to deal with stress when he is paying?  

There are different markets that providers are willing to cater to, and trust me...you can find some last minute gals eagerly waiting to take your money at any time. I would suggest the agency route when thinking spur of the moment...that's why they exist.

I drive a fair ways to get to ATL to Hobby so pre-booking with who I want is a must. One of the worst feelings ever is being "All Dressed Up and No One to Dance With Me."  
I tend to correspond via email to make appts. Pre-booking allow ample time for screenings and make certain arrangements.
I have allowed a substitution from a reputable agency when an ER came up with the gal I wanted - but that's only happened once on a 'day before' made appt. Life Happens and I try to be flexible about it.
