Ask her out for drinks this weekend or next week
How to text her a casual drinks invitation with flexible timing. Keep it simple and give her options.
You want to move things forward and suggest getting drinks, but you're offering flexibility on timing. This is a solid move because it removes friction and shows you're easy to work with. The goal is to sound relaxed, not overly eager.
Good replies should feel natural and conversational. They shouldn't sound like you're scheduling a business meeting or like you're being vague. You want to land somewhere between casual and clear. You're also leaving the door open for her to choose, which increases the odds she actually says yes.
The timing mention (this weekend or next week) is smart because it keeps things from dragging on forever. You're not asking her out in three months. You're showing interest now while still being realistic about schedules.

Try for freeWhat she is actually deciding right now
When you ask her out for drinks this weekend or next week, she is not thinking about whether she likes you. She already decided that or she would not be talking to you. What she is actually deciding is whether she wants to commit two hours of her evening to meet you in person. She is weighing her schedule, her energy level, and whether the time feels right. The weekend or next week framing works because it gives her real options without making her feel like you are pushing for something she cannot do. If you ask for only this weekend, she might say no just because her schedule is packed, and you lose the chance. If you ask vaguely for "sometime soon," she assumes you are not serious and neither should she be.
What your reply needs to accomplish
Your message has two jobs. First, it needs to sound like an invitation to something you actually want to do, not a question you are nervous about asking. This means naming a specific activity (drinks), keeping your tone light and straightforward, and not apologizing or over-explaining. Second, it needs to make the choice easy for her. You should reference both time options you mentioned (this weekend or next week) so she knows you mean it when you say you are flexible. Do not bury the ask. Lead with the idea, then offer the timing choices. Avoid anything that reads like you are scheduling a meeting or like you are unsure whether you actually want to see her.
Timing, waiting, and knowing when to stop
Send this message when the conversation has been going well for a few exchanges and you have a sense that she is interested in talking to you. Do not wait more than two or three days after your last message from her. Any longer and momentum dies. Give her 24 to 48 hours to respond before you assume anything. If she does not respond after 48 hours, do not send a follow-up message. She either missed it, is busy, or is not interested enough right now. Send one more message after three to four days if you want to give it one last shot, but keep it brief and move on if there is silence again. The goal is to show interest without chasing.
Why these replies fail
“Hey, we should definitely hang out sometime soon. I'm pretty flexible with my schedule.”
It is too vague. There is no specific activity or timeframe, so she has no clear picture of what you are proposing.
“I really don't want to seem too forward, but if you're not busy this weekend would you maybe want to grab drinks? I totally understand if you can't though.”
It reads nervous and apologetic, which makes you seem less interested and gives her permission to dismiss the idea.
“Want to get drinks this weekend or next week? Let me know what works for you.”
This one is not terrible but it is missing any warmth or personality. It sounds transactional and does not give her a reason to say yes.
Common mistakes
- Being too vague about timing. 'We should hang out sometime' gives her nothing to work with.
- Listing too many options or day choices. Stick to the general window (weekend or next week) and let her suggest the actual day.
- Overthinking the message and making it too long. Short and casual works better than a paragraph of explanation.
- Not following up if she doesn't respond right away. Give it a day or two before trying again.
- Suggesting drinks at a bar you've never been to or some complicated plan. Keep the first invitation simple.
Questions people ask
- Should I suggest a specific bar or location, or just say drinks?
- Keep it simple and just say drinks for now. Pick a place only after she says yes. Suggesting a specific bar before she commits can feel like you are already planning the whole thing, which adds pressure. Let her agree to the idea first.
- What if she says she's busy both this weekend and next week?
- She is telling you the timeline does not work. Do not push for a third time option or ask when she is free. Step back. If she wants to see you, she will suggest an alternative. Your job is to make the invitation, not to chase.
- How casual should my tone be? Should I use an emoji?
- Match the tone of your conversation so far. If you have been playful, keep that energy. If you have been straightforward, stay that way. An emoji is fine if you use them already, but not required. Tone matters more than punctuation.
- Is it bad if I suggest drinks instead of something else like coffee or dinner?
- No. Drinks has a social, relaxed vibe that works well for a first meetup. It signals you want to actually get to know her without the formality of dinner. Stick with it.
