Should a date be booked in advance?

In this dating realm that's so new to me, I've noticed not only in my own experience, but my friends as well, that guys call last minute to ask you out....and this occurs most of the time.

Should a guy call in advance? And, if he doesn't do you still agree to go out with him if you're available? I don't like to play games, but there seems to be a bit of a level of disrespect when a guy can't bother to call you even a day or two in advance to check in on your availability.

from what ive seen of my two youngest daughters if they are called last minute and they can genuinely go they go if not they just explain the situation and dont.

i think the world is evolving and people have more freedom to make spontaneous choices of where to go and at what time, most places of entertainment stay open longer so its not like if u feel terrible at half six u wont feel better at ten and want to meet people just to check in and have no where to go.

late dining seems to becoming more the norm and social gathering places seem to be 24 hr so i suppose it depends on the situation, the person and your own time comitments

as usual no help whatsoever

as always loving thoughts and positive vibes

Domestic you are such great help to me as always, thank you so much for your wonderful insight, as it truly puts things in perspective. I need to be more open minded and spontaneous. If I'm available, then I'll go...and if not, then I won't. Guess it's that simple. Thank you so much!

Go with the flow...if you like someone call in advance...keep it simple..

Mparente0112, thanks for the great advice. I tend to over-think and over-analyze. Like if a guy doesn't call in advance then he's not that into me, whereas I know in reality that's not the case necessarily. I need to keep things a lot more simple and not make them so complicated.
