For me, it's Details, then Screening, and then Scheduling. This might sound odd but it's what works in my case. Details - this is where I make the decision on whom to see based off of physical attributes, sometimes personality, and usually reviews. Usually at this point I go ahead and start the screening process primarily because I won't be able to plan out a date much in advance. So if I am relatively sure I want to see someone, I'd like to get this part out of the way ahead of time. I don't like to waste a provider's time so if I have started the screening process, I am very sure I will make an attempt to see her. Last for me is scheduling. When I know I might be available, I make the contact to check availability and go from there.
My main issues stem from the fact that I rarely know in advance that I will have time to play, quality providers need to screen (and should, don't get me wrong), and that screening time can take longer than my window of opportunity.

Most were eliminated without asking them out to get to know them better.
