I prefer to schedule my dates about a week ahead of time.  Many providers, if very popular, will need to be contacted in advance in order to properly screen you if you are a first time date for her.  Many do not do same day appts, since they want time to screen you.   IMHO, I do not think  a provider who will see you same day does not do a lot of screening, so you should be careful there.  Read her website, or TER profile to see her preferences.

whats a generalized rule about making an appointment with providers?  do they prefer you calling on the DAY you plan on seeing them? or do they mind if you call ahead of time?  i personally like to call ahead of time like a week max to see if 1.  the number / email works.  2.  if she is available to see me on a certain date.  just getting opinions to better my chances of setting up a good date on what providers prefer instead of getting them to hang up on me cuz i called way too early.  /shrug

I'm also new to hobbying.  Recently seen two providers that required screening.  I gave them my work information, which i don't worry about as the two providers are rated very highly.  One provider has an info sheet on her website, in which I provided my work info.  It did take her a few days to complete the screening as she needed to call me while I was in my office.  I was off on vacation, so she left a voice mail on my work phone in which I remotely retrieved the message and provided the info of the message back to her.  Once done, I schedule the very next day. I e-mailed the other provider asking to be screened.  She e-mailed back the next day and we set up an appointment.  Once the appointment was set, we exchanged e-mails and then texts on the day of the appointment.  Both used a two call/text system in providing the incall address. I have yet to actually speak with a provider on the phone.  Funny thing is my first and second was back to back days.  My bank account took a pretty good hit as they were top tiered.  Pay special attention to their add or website.  Most of the top tiered ones have screening requirements on their website.  You should also read their reviews as others will explain in their reviews on how contact was set up in most reviews.

The sentence that starts, "IMHO...." should read "I think a provider who will see you same day....."

Hope no one got confused, I did when I re-read the post today.

However, as swim, said each is different. I book usually 2 or 3 days in advance. When I go to Vegas usually a week or more.  Book when you want to, see what happens Good luck

I have found that many agency ladies would/could be same day sessions.  However, I will try and schedule an indy lady 3-7 days in advance as I like to plan my own schedule to eliminate potential time conflicts.  I do find that the indy ladies accomodate me with this request (at least thus far none have said to call on the day or some such request).  My preferred method of initial contact is email.  Once the screening is completed I then can request a phone so I can text or call for the specifics as the session time nears.  Always remember to be polite in your initial contacts..as that will get you much farther with a lady who you have never met before!

I'd say generally most highly prefer pre-booking but they are many who can accommodate same day appts w/ ample notice.

Its truly depends...some providers prefer you call maybe an hour or 2 ahead and then another call to confirm...the reason of that is because some guys would say we'll call and never do but the ones who call and give up the info right then and there are not playing any games
