I’m like a 4/10. I’m not spontaneous lol. I dont like crap popping up out the blue. I like to plan and prepare. It was a struggle in one of my relationships because he was like 9/10. Like i say like a lot so ignore that my bad lol 😂 but the most i’d do is up and ride to the coast or go to the casino. Other than that, no. I dont like when “friends” pop up randomly. I like to be prepared for company to arrive. The one thing that really bothers me is if i have plans or if we’d made plans and their spontaneity tries to change that. It legit pisses me off 🤷♀️ Also, im not an impulsive buyer (unless its a painting) so I dont like when people expect me to spend money randomly. I like to pay for my own things but I also like to save money. #FeelFreeToList#TheDesiiDiaries#Impulse

Like the guy below said, im not spontaneous in terms of travelingn/buying but if we’re talking sex in random public places then count me in 😂
On a scale of 1-10, how spontaneous/impulsive are you (in terms of randomly going places or doing/buying things)?
In dating with me it's a mix between completely random unpredictable spontaneity and careful planning.
Sometimes I'll plan things out carefully sometimes quite a ways in advance. Other times I'll just be hanging with my girl and completely out the blue I'll be lets go get ice cream or lets go do this or go to that. Or we could be walking down the street going someplace and I see something I like and just turn and go that directly towards it. I'm like that with dates to.
I'm also that way when it comes to making out and stuff like that to, I might just come up behind her, kiss on the neck, turn her around and give her a kiss and go at it ( so long as she's into it you know ) Or I might plan ahead and set aside a time when we're both free and create an atmosphere to get us in the mood, etc.
I think a mix of both makes the relationship more fun and balanced.
I'm not impulsive/spontaneous beyond maybe showing affection to my partner. I'm a planner; the guy who is always busy when people try to go out/do something after only one or two hour's advance notice (because I already have a plan for the entire day). Usually, I'd need at least 24 hours warning. A week would be most ideal though. If I'm spontaneous for someone, it means they're very important to me. Whenever spontaneous stuff happens that I can't get out of, I usually have to reward myself for the massive blow to morale and stamina it would have cost.
I am VERY impulsive. I never plan shit and just hit people up randomly to hangout.
I'm glad I recently found someone who matches my spontaneity. I've struggled with it a lot before but now I can just go whenever I want at anytime. He's down for anything and we have a lot of things in common 😋
I’d say 6 or 7, lately. It used to be lower but I think mid-life hit me and I was like “bro, you gotta start doing more stuff, you’re gonna be old soon” lmao. My financial situation positively changed this year, so it’s finally not money holding me back or being an excuse haha. So now I’m trying to put myself first more and actually live life, and I guess some of it is fairly spontaneous. I’m usually a proponent of proper planning, but some things, I’m just shooting from the hip now. I was on the road for work down in southern Connecticut on Friday, and the mood struck me, and I said “you know what? Fuck work. I want some pizza. And not just any pizza. New York City pizza.” So I just jumped on a train and off I went, haha, an hour later I was in SoHo waiting in line for a slice at a famous pizzeria. A few months ago I got an email about Guns N Roses tickets, one of my all-time favorite bands. I stupidly missed them when they came to New England a couple summers ago and I was pumped to see they were touring again... except it was just another leg of the same tour, they weren’t coming here. They were playing at the Austin City Limits music festival, in Texas. But I said “this might be my only chance to see these guys all together. They’re aging, Axl and Slash are hot-and-cold with each other, and I hate to even put it out in the universe, but I get this feeling like Axl is the type of dude to die before his time. This is now or never.” So I just took a solo trip to Austin, and saw the show. And now most recently, the combination of missing playing competitive football and my unfulfilled childhood dream of playing hockey have inspired me to learn to play hockey and eventually join an adult league. That’s a hell of an undertaking at 40, lmao, I need to learn to skate adequately, buy equipment, find an instructional course, find a league and a team eventually. It’s just that it’s always been that “thing”, the “I never got to, but if I did...”, and it makes me feel kind of pathetic tbh, haha, like I’m just sitting here talking about what I wish I could have done and thinking it was too late because I didn’t start as a kid... but fuck that, I’m “only” 40, I’m still in good shape, and the only thing holding me back is simply not doing it. So I can either keep talking about it regretfully, or I can give my balls a tug and actually go out there and do it. If anyone wants to laugh or mock the “old guy” trying play a younger man’s game, laugh it up, we’ll see what happens on the ice... and remember I can actually fight you in this sport lmfao. But anyway, with regard to your question and impulsiveness, I made kind of an impulse decision to take up hockey. I’ve talked about the what-ifs for so long, I wasn’t going to let this be another time I didn’t do something, I’m running out of years for that. So went out and dropped $1,500 on all the necessary equipment, and I’m signed up for an instructional class that starts in six days. I’ve spent the last month teaching myself to skate (already could a little, from rollerblading) and, more importantly, to STOP haha at public skating a couple times a week at the rink down the street from me. I feel like kind of a jackass in my lower-body hockey gear and helmet (prepared to fall a lot, haha), and most of the people at skating are middle school kids in regular clothes skating in a circle to music (trying not to end up as the butt of the joke in a 6th grader’s viral meme lmfao), but whatever, and actually most of the kids seem pretty fascinated by me, I have some young fans down there, haha. But yeah, I wanted to embrace the impulse that I had to go buy all that hockey gear, because once I had it, I knew I wouldn’t turn back or let it fall by the wayside, I just put a stack and a half on this new hobby😂
I by no means like change... but I do shit randomly. Sometimes (more often than I like to admit) I find myself just driving to a town or city 2 hours aways just because... or buying a new shoes or jackets n shit. Especially with tools, my biggest weakness. I dunno know if people knew this but most every shop, has a guy or multiple guys (different companies) that stops by with a box truck and sells professional tools... they stupid expensive, like spending $500 is maybe 2 tools🤡 and extremely commom, but back to my point, whenever that tool truck comes by I be buying the most randomness shit. Like they specialize in tools.. yet I be buying popcorn machines... socks... jackets... hell I even bought my wallet on there... that being said I do hate when people show up out the blue. I have camera that alert my phone when someone pulls up or comes on my porch n I just hide. I think its programmed into us to hate when people cancel on us, I get salty as shit too lol
Let's go and do something... I'm all about that spontaneity but inspiration fails me.
If people randomly visited me, I'd be a bit annoyed but I'm sure it beats no one visiting at all.
I used to plan stuff down to the minute and fail miserably after everyone turned up late. I binned off all my friends as I had to do all the work, arrange to visit them, decide when and then make my way over to their place. Them visiting me was never really an option and if it was, I had to arrange transport.
Thnx for the invite to answer. I think I'm somewhere between 3-4/10 I don't like doing random things... at least not all the time. I prefer a routine or doing things I've plan or know I will be doing.
I like being spontaneous. But I loathe others trying to volunteer me to do things that I'm not told about until the last minute. Do NOT be that person or you're on my shit list.
I often seem impulsive, but I actually am more planned/analytical than I present. I just tend to know my requirements and preferences for things quickly and process my decision making quickly.
Years of highly structured and planned education made being spontaneous nearly impossible, lol!
I'm quite impulsive in day to day stuff, but long term I'm a big planner I have one, five and ten year goal lists. But day to day, I can drop everything and just go do stuff, change plans on a moment's notice or adjust quickly for new information. I understand that small incremental things have large long term impacts and have stuff that needs to be done, but don't have a particular order to them, and don't sweat it if I can't get something done today.
I'm only spontaneous when considering something new to do, but I'm not impulsive because I don't jump on it right away. I think about it and consider all of the aspects. Then I plan for it. For example, I usually plan my vacations one year in advance.
I can be spontaneous and impulsive if i can afford to, usually lower amounts when i got a lot of savings. But never large amounts or when i actually need my money.
I'm not spontaneous, I like to plan things and have control lol. However I don't mind spontaneous woman because they usually handle all the responsibilities lol
I'd say some days in a 10... Others a 4... I have to be careful but i live for the impulsive :) my roommate is the opposite and waits to buy things even that are necessary :)
On buying things I am not spontaneous at all I like to make informed purchases. On people popping in, no i like to know and give the same consideration before doing so.
Considering i have adhd i can be very spontaneous, i nearly drowned when I went the the deep end of a pool even though I couldn't swim but all i thought was ,, swim, swim, swim I never get to to this,,
I am super spontaneous, from purchases to everything else. Seriously though it's my weakness, it is probably why I will not have access to my clothes for a week and I am sitting here in my car naked.
I used to be a 9/10 when it came to going places and buying things. But now that finances are not what they used to be I am more a 1/10. have to me more conservative… I miss the days of being impulsive...
I usually plan things but every now and then I just get the fuck its. Not the kind of fuck it's where you get thrown in jail. The kind where you just do whatever. Fuck it!
That's still a form of spontaneous behaviour tho.. the most boring is if everything is in routine and nothing new ever happens, that's a true nightmare for me...
I’m spontaneous with certain things, I try to plan things when it comes to trips and places to go but sex is usually spontaneous since you can’t plan that very often so maybe a 6-7
I am the same as you in terms of having people come over, I want to be prewarned and given time to prepare. I meant in terms of me taking action or making an decision to attend an event, go on a holiday or more of my freaky side.
Okay okay maybe i’d go 😂 honestly i could do it maybe once a year but im not spontaneous enough to do it often. Also, i dont like traveling out the country unless its bahamas, italy, or AU so you got me there 😂
