Do you like spontaneous, last-minute plans, or do you prefer things arranged in advance?

B Natural answer

I am somewhere in the middle, but I lean toward planning ahead. If I am meeting friends for dinner or going somewhere new, I like to know the time, place, and who is coming. That said, I do enjoy spur-of-the-moment plans when the idea is easy and low-pressure. Sometimes those end up being the most fun because nobody overthinks them. I just do not love it when everything is left open until the last second, because then I start checking my phone and wondering what is happening. So for me, a mix works best.
