hmm wouldn't have opened with "you scare me" and you were giving her an option with the coffee. usually I would run my dialogue something like this (assuming its a brief meet then onto texting) bear in mind "her" responses are based on similar interactions ive had so like anything YMMV:
Me: Afternoon BIZI
Her: BIZI?
Me: Batshit Insane Zumba Instructor
Her: haha well we are known to be a little crazy
Me: Well I don't know your name yet so BIZI will suffice
Her: either way works for me
Me: so when you say a little crazy, paint me a word picture
Her: well im pretty sure id make you run for the hills
Me: better women than you have tried and failed, but drinks tonight lets see how you go
Her: oh I don't drink
Me: good thing they do non-alcoholic drinks too, but still drinks tonight
Her: ok where and when?
at no stage there did I give her the option to reschedule based on the meeting place or some other trivial matter (like coffee if she doesn't drink coffee) bottom line is the time was still set. if you let her dictate the direction she will lose interest. but again personal experience and it works for me.
