Here are two dating type scenarios that have happened to me recently. Just wondering which the concensus prefers.

1) A spontaneous date, eg contact on the day, I can meet you at X place in 30 mins, are you free?

2) A date where you have it planned a few days or more beforehand, so a longish wait to see the person

#1 for sure. Female.

I would lean towards 2, only because I tend to prefer and set up my days to be rather structured.

Female, and chose scenario 2.
I much prefer having a plan ahead of time,
rather than a sudden/last-minute social event/meet-up.

I'd be more likely to agree to a "let's hang out in 30 minutes' time" offer from someone I already knew,
but since this question is (I presume) in regards to a first meet with someone new/a stranger, then my answer stands.

Female, option #2

I´m quite meticulous.
If you want to get on my bad side, mess with my calendar.

Male #1. If things don't work out, it's less energy and resources wasted.

I would never be ready in that time frame, and chances that I was just sitting there doing nothing and can just dash out the door are pretty slim. As a female, getting ready for a date involves makeup, deciding what to wear, shower, and I would probably say no to the 30 minute request. It would also make me feel like your other option didn't pan out, so you called me due to that. What's wrong with anticipation, anyway?

Female and option #2 as well. I am also like Checkered... my calendar is well planned out and structured. Even my work week is planned out (including which days I will work late, etc). While I can be flexible now and then, it does kind of make me a little stressed when plans change or things "pop-up" or are otherwise chaotic... if someone often does things spontaneous, eventually I get annoyed with it. So my preference is to plan things.

And this too... even if I am sitting around doing nothing at all, it takes a while to get ready so chances are, everything will be rushed.

As a woman, both sound great to me.

It could be an hour. I didn't interpret it so literally. I don't wear much makeup though and in 30 mins my hair might even be wet still. I still think spontaneous is more exciting though.
