ok, new thread.  Read the message over in the San Diego board about Dana being dissapointed her schedule isn't filling up for her visit (from Canada) in December.  The bottom-line: Dana may cancel her stop to San Diego and go right to LA.

My question is, are some of you guys actually scheduling appointments in December? I'm good for about a week's notice max and frankly, I would prefer to only schedule 48-72 hours in advance if I had my choice. Less chance my schedule will change.  

Also, we don't openly talk about it here, but my mood may change too depending on how the wind blows - guys you know what I'm talking about!

I just can't see making an appointment 4 weeks in advance.

Comments!

I enjoy the anticipation; I guess I never really grew up and Christmas just isn't that big of a deal anymore, so I found a substitute.  It allows time for other plans as well.  I've spent the last week searching for some very specific toys for an extended visit with a Luscious woman in LA.  I never would have found them without planning ahead.

Also, especially for first visits, I try to allow more than enough time for the woman to take care of any screening she would like.  I want them to feel as comfortable as possible when we meet, something to help avoid mileage problems.

let alone a week from now.I've always wondered that myself. If you schedule a week(s) in advance and when that day comes and you're not in the mood, do you still go through with it? 48 hours in advance is the max that I can commit myself too.Luckly I've been able to set up some appointments with 24 hrs notice.

Reo guys realy schedule weeks in advance?

Yes. I've had men schedule months ahead of time. I agree with you. I would prefer a few days notice, so the anticipation doesn't have time to fizzle. One guy contacted me in August for a date in January. Burned me out on a zillion emails loaded with way too much personal information and I lost interest.

Though usu not more than 3 weeks in advance.  I have an ATF independent who is quite busy.

-Hoot.

We all have different hobby circumstances, but I will normally schedule anywhere from 3-10 days in advance...but of course this is for local ladies, which is all I ordinarily see.  I suppose it might be a little different if a gal was planning a tour, but still...to set an appointment a month in advance is far to long IMO.

if I'm going out of town. I'll also schedule well in advance for a touring lady. But normally it's not very long. I see only two ladies in my local area. One can usually schedule me within two days from the time I call but the other one can take weeks because she works only part-time. It's easy for me to plan ahead because my schedule rarely changes.

...and if it did I still wouldn't--I don't know what my mood will be in a month and may not even want to see the girl anymore.

Me neither. I also never know what I'm going to be doing -- or going to be feeling -- a week from now.

I always hobby at the spur of the moment. When I try to plan in advance, I can't necessarily control the mood swings. For this reason, in my locality, I prefer the incall shops that are available. Often, I get my engine revving by attending strip clubs or similar other venues, with an eye toward ending the night with either an incall provider or a last-minute outcall right when I return home.

This method of mine has advantages and disadvantages, obviously. I think the thing I miss the most is the "guarantee" (there are no real guarantees in the hobby, but as close as possible to that) of a full GFE. But sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised at an incall spur-of-the-moment sort of thing, and get exactly what I want. And remember, as well, that sometimes clients are surprised negatively by supposedly GFE providers anyway. Another disadvantage of my method, is that I often combine alcohol with hobbying, and often REQUIRE the use of alcohol to allow me to overcome society's teachings about what inhibitions I should have over paying for that sort of thing. (This is a problem with the rest of my life, as well -- don't think I'm not addressing it, I just mention it as another point here.)

But the advantages are so much more numerous. I get to look at the girl before picking her; I get to bail out at the last minute; I get to go with my OWN mood at the time, rather than trying to "create" the mood after meeting the person; the price is generally much cheaper; nobody EVER knows my real name or address or employer (although the shop security may see my car license; I'm working on that!); and if my cell phone rings and it's a former civilian ffff-buddy who wants to get together, I can pick the better of two possible evils without leaving fallout I'll have to deal with the next time I see the rejectee (whether provider OR civilian!).

It's largely a logistical gain for me. I think, if I were rich and famous enough, and had money to spend on $1000.oo dinner dates, I might prefer to plan further in advance. But I don't do that sort of hobbying, so the last-minute nature of it coincides with the limited level of service, as well. I'm more of a Taco Bell Drive-Through Hobbyist. :-P Open late, slake a craving!

If I'm traveling to a new city I like to be assured that I'll have an appointment. Also, I like to plan out if a provider looks good in her pics AND has favorable reviews.

Reo guys realy schedule weeks in advance?

I have scheduled a week or so in advance for local providers, when they've been too busy on shorter notice and I really wanted to see them.  

When a visiting provider announces her visit, and again it's someone I want to see, then I'll schedule as soon after her post as I can so that I can see her at a time and day that I want, rather than settle for a less convenient time.  Some days and some times are more convenient for me.  It also, I think serves the provider well that she knows that her trip will have some business going in, so that your San Diego circumstance (she cancelled the trip for lack of interest) is less likely to happen.

When I travel, especially to Las Vegas, I sometimes schdule as soon as I know my travel dates, again so that I can meet whom I want at the time I want.  This last scenario at times has been as much as 6 or 7 weeks in advance.

I'm currently planning a trip to Florida, and I'll probably be scheduling about 10 days in advance.

I hope this helps you.

So no moon ride for him! I think there is something to be said for knowing who you can call for a last minute blast-off!  I mean, if you're busy cool - but you might not be, and in fact, looking for company.

That is why I appreciate it when ladies state "I don't mind last minute calls" - I don't think it makes them sound any less appealing.

For NOSC, I would.  Went to LA and try to catch her with 24 hour notice.  Next time I'll plan ahead!

I try to plan the next get together so I can discuss what, where and when when I'm with her.  That means I booked this next week (I leave tonight...YESSSS) last August!

Except for Shauna.... if she's coming I book in advance, stash the commitment and whine to myself that I have to wait to see her. Next time I will book two or three days with her!

Shauna, come to LA!

I travel strictly for leisure, so I always book ahead to get the best deals..Furthermore, any schedule changes cost a fortune nowadays, so I hate to change once booked..

I have a dinner date appt. next month in LA with one of my ATF's, and its been planned for weeks now..As the one poster alluded to, the anticipation is exciting.

Don't know whether there will be a change of plan.  It is better to email directly to Shauna or BDJ and express your interest.

or maybe it's that (BIG) secret weapon if yours that always gets us.  

I suppose we range in planning from spontaneous anarchists at one end to obsessive-compulsives at the other.
Planning 3 hours in advance suits me best emotionally.
Three hours of anticipation, an hour-plus of chess, and two hours to savor and wind down at home.

However, with many special women they need more time.
For special visitors I do make appointments as much as two weeks in advance. If it is necessary to cancel, then I do that 48 hours ahead of time.

If it's a provider that I really want to meet, then scheduling far in advance is not at all a bad thing to do.  Your example is a good one:  I have never met NOSC, but when I do plan an LA trip she'll be my first call, just based on her posts here and the look of her website, and her reviews!  She looks and sounds awesome.

Reo guys realy schedule weeks in advance?

I normally like to plan 1-2 weeks ahead.

Any farther out than that is pure torture.....

Thats just me...

When you make it a steady diet of seeing a particular sweetie, it makes sense to put in your requests in before all of the other non-regulars. You sweetie knows you and is more than willing to acommodate your calendar before her card is full is open to others. This is a must for those SPs who are at the top of their game and has a long list of inquiries.

Reo guys realy schedule weeks in advance?

I usually try to schedule 2 or 3 days in advance. Sometimes I will send an email introducing myself a month in advance and let it go until I am ready to make an appointment.

If I am travelling, and see an ad that really gets me moving, I will try to book an appointment that day or the next.

Reo guys realy schedule weeks in advance?

Yes I also have clients that will book months in advance.  I do get booked fast as I only accept 1-2 clients per day.  I prefer bookings a week to two weeks in advance, and understand when cancellations happen.  Most of my clients have been good about not cancelling at the last minute.

I enjoy a little flirting on-line to get to know the client and help build anticiaption for both of us.  But I have had clients get excessive with their emails and expect immediate responses before we have even met.

scheduling in advance is essential. Too much risk of ending up with nothing if you make calls last-minute.
