I rarely know my schedule from one day to the next and I don't want to be a flake. If I tried scheduling my dates more than a few hours in advance I would probably end up changing or cancelling half of them. Is that REALLY how you want me to handle things?

Some women don't mid same day meetings, others do. I would give you the same advice that you ladies give guys who don't want to be screened. Do what makes YOU comfortable. If you don't want to offer same day appointments, then don't fucking do it. Just don't come on here whining about it. As for charging extra for it, try it if you like, but there are so many women that do I doubt you are going to get a lot of takers. If you doubt me, then please tell me why P 411 thought it was a big enough demographic that they added an "available now" section to their site?

I agree that it's better to book in advance but sometimes things open up at the last minute...I don't expect that you're always available but I would imagine that there are times you are...

As long as they booked by 7pm the night prior to our date, he'd get the "advance booking rate".  

More than half of them would "tip" me up to, or even above, my regular rate.  Yes, a few people would ask if they could get my discount even though they were looking to book same-day but not any more than routinely try to negotiate lol.  

 
So what I'm suggesting is wording it differently.  If you really want to charge more for same-day, you could put it on your ad/website that  your regular  rate is now higher, but they get a discount (bringing it back down to your current rate) if they book in advance.  
It's all psychological, obviously, but no one wants to feel penalized just because they cannot plan ahead.

You can always. ....

put on your site and ads that a 24-48 hrs pre booking is required.  
I definitely don't do last minute request.  It's worked really well requiring that pre booking for me. Now days I usually pre book a week or more in advance because people are getting to know same day doesn't work for me  
Xoxo,

I absolutely get where you're coming from! I'm sure every provider on this board has gotten their fair share of, "Are you available now?" emails or calls lol.  

I'm starting to think that it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding about the way many of us work.  These guys, a lot of them have 9-5 type jobs that they clock in and clock out of.  Between certain hours of the day, they're simply "at work". And I think they're under the impression that our job works the same way lol.  It's kind of a sexy thought, actually... Lounging around in our hotel rooms perfectly made up and dressed to the 9's, on call and waiting for our SuperEscort pager to go off lol.  

But to answer your question about whether it's a good idea to ask for an additional donation for last minute dates, I think it depends on what the core of your issue with them is.  Is it that you ARE willing to do them, but want to be compensated for the hassle?  Or is it that you CAN'T do them and want to discourage clients from even asking?

If it's the first thing, I say go for it. It might turn off some clients, but you don't really like doing it in the first place, so who cares? If it's the second thing, maybe you can try mentioning it specifically in your ads and on your website first.  Something along the lines of, "All dates must be booked at least X hours/days in advance." might help weed some of these last minute guys out, if you put it explicitly on your ads and contact form. I'm sure there will still be people who can't be bothered reading anything but your phone number asking to meet in 30 minutes, but at least then you can be justified in ignoring them lol.

and I couldn't imagine if all other service industries charged for same day appointments.  Could you imagine a massage therapist, or hair stylist charging more for a same day request? Often it's not about, is it possible to book in advance. Sometimes you just decide that you want that service at that time. I have a standing two hour massage appointment every other week, but sometimes my athletic training gets the best of me, and I want a massage the same day. Now, my favorite therapist is probably going to be booked up, but I guarantee you that I will find someone that can do a massage for me last minute.  

I personally don't do same day appointments, because my life is a little over scheduled at the moment, but I certainly am not going to chastise the guys that want to see me last minute. As others have said, do as you please, and you might get some takers, but for me, it would be a turn off. And I certainly think that Debbie's idea is a better way of approaching it.

If I contact you at noon and asks if you could be available at 2,3, or 4'there are two simple choices.
Yes or No
If it is Yes great if it is yes but add X there is another answer Goodbye.

You need not jump through hoops to schedule but if it works more power to you.  
If is such an inconvenience to do the time that you need to up  charge before the session starts I am not sure you are in the right frame of mind for a date either.

...but I suspect that few mongers are willing to pay it

You are selling your time...once time passes, it's gone.  Seems to me that if someone contacts you for a same day appointment where you are available it's a bonus to you.  JMHO.

oh sure, my hormones always let me know 2 days in advance when i'm going to feel horny!

even worse, more than once a set date has fallen through nsnc, and i'm stuck with an envelope and blue pill in my blood stream.  luckily the ladies i called at the last minute to help me out didn't have your attitude.

if your goal is to stop guys from calling you for same day dates, that's a perfect way to do it.

unless you are the only provider in your 50 mile area, you'll be doing all the other ladies in your town a big favor by sending business their way.

I really appreciate the gents who approach me and get pre-screened explaining to me that they have little time and often need spontaneous sessions...as long as they understand that I cannot always say yes...which is my case, then I am good with the plan.  If I am able to prescreen quickly, I am ok with that too.

I guess a "pre-booking discount" is the way to go.  And just for the record before each date, I not only shower, shave, do my hair and makeup but I also dust sweep vacuum and change sheets and towels.  I really look forward to quality gentlemen who respect quality companionship.  

Interesting we can book a dentist months in advance and a good hairstylist might require weeks in advance....

At least 48 hours advance and you were right lol. This gave me a good chuckle...

I know how you feel, for a while the circumstances of my life made it easy for me to do same day/last min appts (for people I already knew) I spoiled everyone with it and now I'm having a hard time getting them to pre book haha. But that's the situation I created so I'm ok w it. We all have to flex a bit w last min, they'll deal with "I'll get there as soon as I can" and giving them updates on my ETA, or trying for a few days till we can make it work and I'll do my best to get to them.  
Just because people want last min doesn't mean you have to turn your day upsidedown and be stressted rushing. Most people are understanding and willing to work with you. If they're not, screw em! (Or don't haha)  

I offer a discount for prebooking and paying for incall appts and a lot of people like it. You could try doing something like that.

I did not mean to offend anyone or imply that all ladies including those who are more spontaneous than myself do anything differently!  I was shocked by the mean and angry words!  I need to get a thicker skin and simply say no or not today rather than feeling obligated to rush around and rearrange my plans.  

I feel so blessed to have met so many wonderful quality men who treat a lady with respect.

Let me put it this way.  Not a chance. Wouldn't be ok even after hell freezes over.
For me, it would be insulting. Never, would I see someone who did this even if she later lowered her requests.
It begs the question  "what kind of a person would do such a thing." No-one in the  world is worth it.
So, sit around or don't.  Advise if any chump would take you up on this

so I see no issue in charging more for same day dates.

I would probably see somebody else though.  
Unless all providers decided to do it

that say something along the lines of "My pre-booking rates are such and such and my regular rates are Thus.

But it has always been at her discretion.
