Whats up fellas

So I message a girl online, pretty hot, gorgeous in the face. We exchange a couple of online messages and then she stops answering. It's fine, not the end of the world, move on. But as a last ditch effort, I try the old "hey, still wanna chat? or maybe even go out for coffee" "oh sorry I haven't responded but I've been super busy with work. here's my number"

We trade a few texts, get on the phone once, but she just doesn't seem in a huge hurry to set up a place and time. Okay, fine. I always texted her first for some 4 or 5 nights that week. But eventually I got tired and just abruptly ended a conversation "I'm going to bed. Let me know when you want to do something" and put it through my mind that that was that.

Days later, lo and behold, she texts me. Says she has family in town and blah blah blah. But still no date and time. She's hot and all but in general I can get at least a date out of most girls I put time into. Having said that, I'd rather not blow it.

I'm about ready to tell her to give me a date and time or don't bother texting me. She said on the phone she had agreed to go out, and she was not going to just back out, but she was just busy, so I have a feeling if I corner her she will cut the BS and go.

Question: If I corner her like that and she agrees to go out 1) do I look like a jerk for cornering her? And 2) do I look desperate because I dropped a hint that I wanted to set a date and time about 5 times?

And as a follow up to #1, how do I recover from being a jerk when I do meet her?

She is mostly receptive in text, answers my messages quickly and plays along. But I feel like I am breaking ground in getting text friend zoned haha.

Thanks for the advice!
