# free now

[jessicabp]

“ Are you free now?

Are you here now?

Yes.

Come in, the door is open.

I don’t know your address.

So you are not here now.”

I still don’t understand the question “ free now?”

I made this mistake when the first few times I contacted advertisers, hadn't a clue what I was doing, it was only upon reflection that I realised how dumb of a question it is. I asked it a few times in the meaning that "are you free in the next half an hour or hour". I got zero responses, nearly gave up trying to visit anyone at all.

It's such an ambiguous and vague question that I am not surprised I was ignored.

Now I will contact someone at least a few hours in advance, sometimes a day or two, and request a time, then confirm an hour/30 min beforehand. Made the whole contact thing a hell of a lot easier and better

2 common questions that confuse east Europeans, "are you free?" and "howya fixed?".
First means, are you available? The second can mean that too, but more usually means can you accommodate, or can we go to your place, or do you still live with your wife/mother.

No, 1st means 'Are you free right now' like you'rea pychic stalker outside my apartment. That's it. No other meaning.

Same as can I make an appointment means exactly that. I dunno, can you?

As annoying as, 'Are you available now/when are you available?' For what? A chat? Food?

'Are you free' is a phrase that is Irish use on a regular basis, usually totally unconnected with sex. My boss just messaged me asking if I was free tomorrow afternoon because one of the staff was looking for some time off. I'm pretty sure he isn't hiding in the bushes outside.

Time to time I am working 1-1 week in Germany and in Austria and there are the same
“ Hast du Zeit? Ich komme jetzt.”

So it’s not East European.

Anyway I always answer the same “ please try to book in advance in the future “

I never really thought about it before , maybe it's Hiberno English..because to Irish people this is normal every day question

[philipkntz]

Of course stalkers might use that phrase too.
There is one lady I've seen a couple of times but she regularly double books. I've found that the best way to see her is just to message her that I'm at the landmark. I have however long ago learnt not to use the word free.

Well but you are interested about intimate time with a lady so i would expect other words than same like asking a taxi or talking with your boss about your work.

It’s so much rude to ask me about appoitment in that way. Iam afraid iam not alone who feel it same.

And exactly how you can ask about “free” if you don’t know the location or if escort is not ready for you. I think you expect a clean lady dressed in some lingerie, dresses, heels. Or are you interested about girl in her tracksuit?

I think it’s the only text when iam disgusted by it.

My problem with booking too much in advance is that I risk pulling the ying yang out of myself. Usually it's a case of waiting till I have the time, opportunity and money and then hoping for the best.
