Ladies I would like to ask a general question on scheduling?

How far in advance to most of you typically take appointments?

If I know I'm going to be in a particular city a couple of weeks in advance, is that too soon to book an appointment? How about the week before?

I have been finding that if I wait until I'm actually there (Whatever city I'm in that week) I have a hard time getting an appointment with the quality providers. (By quality providers, I mean well reviewed)

Any thoughts, suggestions?

I appreciate advance booking from traveling professionals as do most of my friends.
I am willing to book appointments six to eight weeks in advance, though I do prefer the one to four week window as there is less likelihood of schedule variance for myself or the client.

Providers are typically more mindful of themselves in terms of verification when it comes to outcall to hotel properties so the notice gives ample time for comfortable screening and even a chance to chat with the client on the telephone or via email to gauge chemistry and flirt a little bit.  I've found that with advanced bookings, at the time of the meeting things are just so much more natural; you really have the ability to interact less formally and as though you're welcoming an old friend.

as soon as I know my travel schedule. That can sometimes be 4-6 weeks in advance. So far, the ladies have been very accomodating. I actually (half-jokingly) asked a lady for a date 6 months in advance one time. Apparently, my being somewhat of a screwball didn't scare her off, and we had a fantastic day together. If fact we did it again a few months later, and will do it again, as soon as I can get my skinny ass to her city again.

I prefer to know in advance not only for scheduling, but so to break the ice prior to meeting.

I love meeting new folks once we feel comfortable with one another.  It sets the stage and the anticipation builds making the first day more exciting.

I really don't like meeting someone who just calls up for an appointment.  When I've gone to last minute appointments, even at very fine hotels, I have often felt that the gentlemen views ladies as just another provider and is not seeking a true GFE.  While I've been compensated and treated OK by these gents, I've sometimes left feeling like we did it like two dogs in an alley.  That is not my thing.  I want to be with someone who really wants to meet me because of my style of providing, not just because I was the lady who happened to pick up the phone or return their call.

On a more positive note some of these 'quickie' gents have called again after realizing I am more than just a vessel to fulfill their needs and subsequent appointments have been much more fun and engaging.

I guess your question does not warrant a one size fits all answer.

Happy hobbying!
