I think that sounds like a fine first date. This is a good way to do it:

You: Hey __________, what would you say if I were to ask you out on a date?

Her: _X_ Yes ___ No

You: Great! Do you like bowling? Or would you prefer ___________?

Her: I like ______________.

You: Sounds good - how does Friday night, 8:00 sound?

Her: Oh, I can't on Friday. I am washing my hair.

You: Oh, that's okay. When is good for you?


If you don't want to pay for dinner, be sure to invite her well past the normal dinner hour. Or, you can do what my kid does, and just date girls who look like they enjoy starving themselves to death. They never want food.
