She said yes to a date but hasn't picked a time: what to text

A yes to 'let's get a drink sometime' is a yes to the idea, not to a Thursday at 7. Plenty of people say that in good faith and then don't think about it again, because for them the question was already answered. So when she hasn't offered times, the most likely reading is not disinterest. It is that she's waiting for you to do the scheduling, or she assumes you'll bring it up when you're ready.

The signal to watch is whether she's engaging with the rest of the conversation. If she's replying with energy to other messages and skipped the plan entirely, that's a sign it slipped her mind or she's waiting. If replies are getting shorter and the plan keeps getting dodged, take that seriously.

Give her a concrete choice: a weekday evening this week or next, a named bar or coffee place near one of you, and a rough time. Two options is plenty. One option with a fallback works too, like 'Thursday around 7 at that place on Fifth, or Saturday afternoon if weeknights are rough.' She can accept either with a single word, which is the whole point.

Avoid making the plan sound like a favor you're asking for. Phrase it as the next step, not a request for permission. You're not asking whether she wants to go, you already know she does, so say when.

If the plan stalls, timing matters more than wording. Send the proposal during the day, when she's likely to be reading messages and can answer without it feeling like a late-night move. Texting a specific plan after midnight tends to read as overeager, and she may not respond until the next day, which costs you momentum.

If she doesn't reply in a day or two, send one short follow-up that's easy to answer, such as a single day or a yes or no. Give it another day or two after that. If there's still nothing, let it go and don't keep poking, because two unanswered plan messages is already a clear answer.
