What to say when she says where should we even go
She asked where to go and you have no idea. Here is how to reply without stalling, what to suggest, and how to get a plan locked in.
When she says "where should we even go", she's usually not asking for a geography lesson. She's handing you the planning job. Sometimes she wants to see if you'll take it, and sometimes she really doesn't care. Either way, a reply that just bounces the question back, like "idk, you pick", tends to stall the whole thing.
The useful reply does two things. It gives her a concrete option she can say yes or no to, and it shows you're willing to carry the planning without making it a test. One specific idea with a time attached beats a list of five places every time.
If you have no real preference, say that once and then choose anyway. Nobody needs a perfect venue. They need someone to pick one.

Try for freeShe is handing you the planning, not quizzing you
A question like where should we even go usually means she's said yes to meeting and now wants someone else to do the legwork. It's a small invitation to lead. Read it that way and your reply gets easier to write, because you're not trying to pass a preference test.
Pay attention to what she already gave you. If she named two days, that's your window. If she mentioned food, a drink, or a walk earlier in the chat, pull that thread back in. The most natural suggestion is usually one that connects to something she already said. It shows you were listening, and it makes the choice feel less random to her.
Pick one place and a rough time
The goal of your reply is to turn an open question into a yes or no. One specific idea does that. A name, a rough neighbourhood or type of place, and a time give her something to react to in a few seconds. If she likes it, you're done. If she doesn't, she can say so and you can offer one alternative.
Keep the first suggestion low stakes. A coffee, a drink, or a short walk is easier to agree to than a full dinner with someone she's only talked to for a week. You can always move up once there's some momentum. Ask for a plan that's easy to say yes to and easy to back out of without awkwardness.
Reply within the hour, not the next morning
This question has a short shelf life. Once she's named days, the slots start to fill up in her head and her calendar. A reply sent the same afternoon feels like momentum. One sent the next day can feel like you lost interest, even if you were just busy.
If you can't answer right away, send a quick message saying you're thinking about it and will come back with two options by a specific time. Then do exactly that. If she goes quiet for more than a day after you've suggested something concrete, a light nudge with a new option is fine. If she still doesn't engage after two tries, let it drop. Don't turn it into a chase.
Why these replies fail
“idk, you pick somewhere. I'm easy”
It hands the whole decision back and signals you're not going to lead, which makes her do the work again.
“Maybe a bar? Or a coffee place? Or we could do dinner, or a walk, or whatever you think”
Four options with no commitment forces her to choose and shows no real plan.
“Somewhere nice downtown, probably around 8, I'll book it if you say yes”
It jumps to an expensive dinner with a booking commitment before she has any sense of comfort with you.
Common mistakes
- Replying "idk, what do you want to do?" and handing the decision straight back
- Listing four or five options so she has to do the choosing
- Suggesting something expensive or far away before you know her plans
- Waiting a day to answer while the thursday and saturday slots go stale
- Asking her to pick a time and place in the same message, which doubles the work
Questions people ask
- What if I really don't have a favourite place?
- Say so in one line, then pick anyway. Something like "no strong opinion, so I'll choose: the coffee place near the station, Thursday at 6?" People rarely mind a specific pick. What they mind is being asked to plan everything themselves. Having no preference is fine as long as you still offer one concrete option.
- Should I suggest somewhere in my neighbourhood or hers?
- If you know where she lives or works, a spot roughly between you or near her is considerate and easy to say yes to. If you don't know yet, pick somewhere central and easy to reach for both of you. Avoid anywhere that makes her travel far for a first meet unless she's already said she'd like that.
- How long should I wait before following up if she doesn't reply?
- If you sent a specific suggestion and she hasn't replied in about a day, one short follow-up with a new option or a simple check-in is reasonable. Send it in the daytime, not late at night. If she still doesn't respond after that, the plan isn't moving, and it's better to let it go than keep pushing.
- Is it okay to suggest doing something active instead of a drink?
- Yes, if you already know she's into that. A walk, a market, or a short activity can make the first meet feel more relaxed because you have something to look at besides each other. If you're not sure she likes that kind of thing, offer it as one option next to a simpler one so she can pick.
