But I would never be able to do this in advance; I'm too frugal when sober. I had a few beers in me and it was more spontaneous. But I think that is an advantage; if you're trying to book a several hour date a week or two in advance, it is reasonable for her to think she could get a better offer or schedule several dates. But if it's 7pm and no one is calling, that's different.
