What to say when she asks where you want to go (pick a spot)
Stop answering "anywhere". Learn how to name one specific place and time when she asks where you want to go, without making it a big ask.
When someone asks where you want to go, they usually want the plan locked without doing the work of proposing it. "Where do you want to go?" is a polite way of saying "you pick." If you answer with "anywhere" or "up to you," the plan stalls and she has to decide the whole thing herself.
A good reply gives her one concrete option and makes it easy to say yes. A named bar, a specific street, a time window, or a type of food she can react to in one word works far better than a vague vibe. Her reply is then a single decision instead of a blank page.
The reply also shows how you handle a small decision. You are not trying to sound impressive. You are trying to make the next step obvious, and you are willing to adjust if she has a different idea.

She is handing you the planning job
The question usually comes after the day is already agreed. That matters. She has done her part by saying yes to plans, and asking where you want to go is her passing you the choice. Look back at what she has said earlier. A bar she mentioned liking, a cuisine that keeps coming up, or a neighborhood she passes through on her commute are all usable. If she has said nothing about food or drinks, she probably does not care much, so you can pick something easy to reach.
Watch for the reply she is likely to send next. A cheerful "I'm easy" usually means she will go along with whatever you propose. A question back, like "do you have somewhere in mind?", means she wants you to commit first. Either way, naming something specific early saves a round of back and forth.
Name one place, one time, one reason
Your job is to turn an open question into a simple yes or no. Pick one place you would actually go, name it, and attach a time. A specific venue or a specific street works better than a cuisine, because she can answer with one word. Tie the choice to something real, either a detail from earlier in the chat or a practical reason like it sitting between your two places.
Keep it to one primary option. If you want a backup, make it clearly secondary so she is not weighing two equal choices. Avoid defaulting to the most formal or expensive place on the first ask, since that can make a casual plan feel like a bigger commitment than she signed up for. The aim is to make the decision small enough that accepting it costs her nothing.
If she goes quiet after you pick
Reply within the hour if you can. A plan proposed at lunch and answered at 10pm has usually lost its momentum. If you hear nothing for four to six hours on the same day, send a short follow-up that moves the plan forward, such as asking which time she would prefer. Do not reopen the where question, because repeating it signals you are not really committed to the plan either.
If she replies with a clear no, or a vague answer followed by silence, let it go after one follow-up. Two unanswered messages about the same plan is the point to stop pushing. You can pick the thread up later with a light message about something else entirely.
Why these replies fail
“idk, wherever you want, i'm easy”
It hands the whole decision back to her, so the plan stalls before it starts.
“anywhere works! maybe somewhere with food? or drinks, whatever sounds good”
It offers two vague categories with no specific place or time, so she has nothing concrete to say yes to.
“let's do that tasting menu place downtown, i'll book for 8 saturday”
It commits to an expensive formal spot before she has said anything about budget or what she wants, which turns a casual plan into a bigger ask.
Common mistakes
- Replying "anywhere is fine" or "you pick" and leaving her to do the planning.
- Naming a place but no time, so the plan stays floating.
- Picking somewhere that needs a reservation, a long drive, or a big spend she has not agreed to.
- Offering four or five options so she has to choose from a menu.
- Asking her what she likes again when she has already told you.
Questions people ask
- What if she says she doesn't mind where we go?
- Pick one place anyway and say why you chose it. "I don't mind" usually means she will go along with a clear suggestion, not that she has no opinion. Give her one specific option, a time, and an easy way to say yes. If she still will not commit, offer one alternative and let her choose between the two.
- Should I suggest a place or ask her what she likes?
- Suggest a place, but base it on something she has already told you. Asking what she likes is fine when you have no context at all, but it hands her the job back. A good suggestion draws on earlier messages, like a cuisine she mentioned or a neighborhood near her work, so the pick feels considered.
- Is it weird to pick somewhere I have never been?
- No, as long as you know the basics. Check the menu, opening hours, and how far it is from where she lives before you suggest it. If you have not been, say so lightly so she knows you are not claiming expertise, and she can steer you if it is not her kind of place.
- What if I don't know the area well?
- Choose a place you can find easily on a map and that is simple to reach from both of your locations. Stick to somewhere with a clear name, a known street, and an obvious entrance. You do not need to know the neighborhood well, just enough to be sure the place exists and is open at the time you suggest.
