"What are your plans for the weekend?" definitely = "I'm a crusty old hooker who wants to hook up with anything with a pulse." Definitely.

Pretty odd cognitive leap, for sure.

Is that what you think she wanted to do? Lol

Meh, I am of the opposite opinion. I’m social, I like to meet people. I’d rather meet people sooner. I have no problem chatting up random strangers in general. Of course, more people on OLD are the shier type so that comes across as weird. I love a good face to face convo, and it doesn't have to lead to anything.

But then if you are free to meet then I can see a woman saying, "wow he must not much of a life"

Don't spend too much time worrying about what this woman or that will think about you being available, or not available.

If someone wasn't available relatively soon, I tended to write them off. I wasn't looking for desperate, but I didn't want to be a side piece or part of a harem either.

So, if you're NOT available soon enough, it's going to look bad to some of us.

Just make your first meetings short and sweet. Have an out if there's something drastically off about whoever you meet. The first meeting should just be making sure you've both reasonably presented yourself in your profile, that your pics aren't 10 years and 30 pounds ago, etc.

If there's a spark, then try to get an actual "date". If not, you didn't waste a lot of time or money. I don't think I am alone in not wanting the first meet to be something long and involved. Sure, sometimes we'd end up talking for a long time, but that would be a good thing if the interest were mutual. Sometimes a coffee turned into a lunch, or a drink turned into a dinner, but that didn't happen a lot, and I wasn't offended if it didn't.

If I wake up on a saturday and see that I have a match and start chatting with a woman, there is a good chance I would meet that same day.

Nope, sometimes you don’t make plans way ahead. It is completely reasonable. I find fellow singles tend to have more availability than coupled people. Now if you are always always always free that might be weird.

In my single years (and now, to a degree), I kept things pretty flexible and spontaneous. It wouldn't have been unusual for me to have a pretty wide open night in the near future, not having decided yet what I was gonna do. I still don't typically book myself up or lock into plans if I can avoid it. So I have availability as needed a lot of the time.

If she is crusty, just keep licking
