So theres this HB. i text her back and forth a bit to set up the first date. she genuinely seems interested, witty banter, a little bit sexual. all good. then i ask her out. she says she's in another city. specifically she says "i agree to the date but not this weekend because i'm in sydney"
I want to proceed as though she's telling the truth. i dont see any reason why she would lie with that excuse.
So assuming she is down in principle but the time i suggested was wrong how do i proceed? it seems a bit needy to ask when she gets back so i can work my schedule around her. Ignore her for a few more days? suggest another time?change subject completely? Suggestions? Thanks

Ask her how long she is there for.

"I agree to the date"

She's down, dude.

Wait it out. Propose another date...

"Great - what about next weekend, then?" is fine... or say "When are you back? Would love to hear about your trip".

You're over thinking it.

A simple "very nice, have a good time, hmu when you get back in town"

As long as you don't make it seem like you'll be sitting by your phone until she returns you're good.
