So I recently relocated to Minneapolis area about two months ago and I am wondering is it the norm here for gentlemen to request appointments with multiple ladies?  I have greatly appreaciated them telling me they booked with someone else, but it is still insulting. Why waste ladies time with getting you screened if your intentions are to book with who says you can come over now, with or without them verifying you. I am no magician. I can only screen as fast as reference checks come back unless you fill out my reservation form.  

... it's not MY norm.  But then, I almost never schedule with a provider on short notice.  Usually I book at least a week out, more often than not 2 or more weeks out, because my open windows are few and narrow. When I have scheduled on short notice I've asked one provider at a time.  

Doll, j/k luv ya

I have done this in the past after sending a request and not hearing anything for 48 hrs I will try other s to see if they are available. Occasionally it does happen where I find out I have the next night free and ask a couple different providers if they might be able to fit me in. Mainly this is because not everyone replies quickly or even in a day or two and it's not easy planning if that's the case.  
        For me it s not intentional but does happen

Not all of us are able to plan week or more in advance.. I'm sure some guys are able to.    Lots of things could vary in knowing or finding our self time to visit in this world.   Could be anything from hectic work schedules, families or SO not being around, or managing to find travel time to and from visits.  Hell even the weather could affect some of us(as it does me, since my job is mainly outdoors)when it rains, I usually become very free to do what I want..  

My opportunities are few and far between. Having reached out to two providers in the past two weeks and having received ANY response, I am tempted to try it. I usually send out a request 1 day in advance and don't start looking elsewhere until most of the 24 hr period has expired. It used to work when i was younger but, as I age I find that, more and more, I am ignored. Temptation is rearing its ugly head.

A provider could have a regular job and children to raise.  She could very easily only check her email/texts/VMs from dedicated devices that she only checks when she is confident of not being disturbed.  That could easily only be once a day; maybe even less if something unusual  is going on.  For most of us, our P4P activities are something we don't want freely mixed in with our civvie life.

I've never double-booked, but sometimes wish I had. Because I have limited availability, and if the girl flakes out I can get lonely.

Thought all you guys cared about was the almighty dollars.  I'm pretty busy guy and on a day I feel loaded up, will contact a few, and whoever gets back to me quickest gets my business.
To me this it's pay-fuck-leave or fuck-pay-leave that's it.

Hunny.., No one is asking for you to book a week in advanced. Right now I will settle for 2-3 hours notice after I have you screened.  

Talon,

I see your point. It is tough for you to do the screening, exchange e-mails, and it leads to nothing.

This is not a relation ship tango! In fact it's only sessions provided, up to the gentlemen how and how can get him to what he needs. We need to be professional and discreet take notes who is who

Sometimes, ladies often take a day or two days to respond. That is no problem but if I try to set something up three or four days ahead for both of our convenience and so she can screen, this means after 12 to 24 hours, I have to have two requests out.  If the first two do take that long to respond, it is a real problem.

I send P411 pre-screen requests generally asking about a rough location and availability and specifying the day I am interested in booking.  Maybe 50% of the time I'll get a response back within 3 days.    Sometimes I get no response at all. Presumably because the provider makes the erroneous assumption I'm not serious because I sent a pre-screen instead of a booking request.  But I'm not going to send a booking request until I get enough information from her to make a decision.  e.g. I don't do hotels so I ask about the type of incall if its not been mentioned in a review.

...I don't appreciate hearing that I'm not the first one of the day, or worse.....  seeing, feeling, or smelling evidence that I am not the first of the day.

That way when you get close to the time where you want to schedule something you have one or more ladies who have already verified you.

If they reply back and I've already made other plans, I let them know.  My time is very valuable to me, don't have much time to chase pussy.

I do see both sides of this debate.  The key is to minimize wasting the time of others, whether provider or hobbyist.  We live in an "immediate gratification" state of mind, so when it comes to satisfying our urges, we want it now.  Some of us have to act on the moment, while others are able to plan and wait.  Good luck figuring this one out...

If my window of opportunity, time-wise, is limited and comes up with only a day or two notice, it might be tempting to try two different ladies, especially if you're new to them, rather than risk missing a chance for fun.

Well, it's not necessarily all that simple.  If you are prompt and diligent in responding you should know that is absolutely not the case with everyone, and people adapt.
