Basically to me it's easier that way to quickly nail down a time. Basically I'm asking a range of time you're available because that's the unknown for me, and then from there I just toss out a time that works and they usually agree.
Basically "are you available this evening after 5?" "Yep" k, does 6pm work? "Works perfect, see you then!"
Honestly have never had anyone mistenterprit what I'm asking to mean that I'm asking if they can be around all day or all evening and I'll show up in a large window of time.

I just have to figure out my day here.

This sounds like it's not going to be figured out quickly, or you would have just figured it out and then gotten back to me with your availability. I don't even need to know this and have back and forth about it. So my immediate reaction is you're kind of a waffler and pinning you down is going to be annoying.

I think I can come by if you are available before 4pm

You think? That's not very definitive. I want definitive, not a maybe. Why are you asking if I'm available before 4 if you haven't even figured out your day yet?
This is like my wife making plans with our friends. They'll have a three day back and forth. "Oh 7 may work if that works for you but we'll have to let you know as we need to see how our day goes, but we obviously understand you would like to know a time so we'll say 7 but only if that works for you otherwise we might prefer 7:30 but 7 may be fine, and where do you want to go, we're good with where ever but only a place that you're good with" "oh hey ya so about our plans, was it Saturday or Friday you wanted to get together........." 5 days later. "So.... what's the plan?"
Me: "Free to get to get together this Saturday? 7pm, our place?"
Them: "Sure, see you then"
