Ask her out on a real date instead of leaving it vague
Stop saying 'we should hang out sometime.' Ask her to do something specific so she knows you're serious.
The problem with 'let's see where this goes' is that it sounds like you're not that interested. She doesn't know if you want coffee, a movie, or just a text buddy. It puts the work on her to figure out what you actually want.
When you suggest something specific, you show you've thought about it. You're not just collecting her number or her time. You're asking her to do an actual thing with you on an actual day. That's way more confident than keeping it open-ended.
The best approach is direct and simple. Pick an activity, a time frame, and ask her straight up. 'Want to grab coffee this weekend?' beats 'we should hang out sometime' every single time. She'll either say yes, no, or suggest something else. Any of those is better than the ambiguity.

When someone says 'let's see where this goes' or doesn't push back on vagueness, she isn't being coy. She's usually waiting for you to lead. She might be interested, but she's also protecting herself from over-investing in someone who hasn't shown real intent yet. A vague setup feels like you're keeping your options open, which signals she shouldn't get her hopes up.
She's also mentally noting that you haven't done the work of planning anything. Even if she likes you, she's probably thinking: 'If he can't pick a coffee shop and a day, what am I working with here?' Vagueness doesn't make her chase harder. It makes her assume you're either scared or not that serious.
What your message needs to do
Your reply has two jobs. First, it needs to name a specific activity and a specific timeframe. Not 'sometime this weekend'. Pick a day. Pick a time window if you can. Pick something you actually want to do together, not just somewhere you can sit across from her.
Second, it needs to ask as a question, not announce a plan. You're giving her a clear option to say yes or no, not telling her what's happening. The difference matters because it shows you respect her schedule and her choice. A clear ask with a real date and time reads as confident and considerate.
When to send and what comes next
Send this within the next day or two of the conversation. Waiting a week signals you forgot about her or you're not sure if you want to ask her out. Don't overthink the timing on a Tuesday versus Thursday. Just send it while the conversation is still fresh.
If she says yes, lock in those details and move the conversation to actually planning the thing instead of texting back and forth endlessly. If she declines or doesn't respond within 3 to 5 days, move on. Don't send a follow-up asking if she's still interested. She either didn't want to go or she didn't see it. Either way, you've made your move clearly enough that there's nothing to gain from chasing it.
Why these replies fail
“Yeah we should totally hang out soon. Let me know what you're into and we can figure something out”
It puts the planning work on her and gives her no actual option to say yes to, just a vague commitment that might never happen.
“I'm pretty free this weekend if you want to do something. What did you have in mind?”
It makes it sound like you have no preferences and she has to come up with the date idea, which flips the power dynamic you're trying to establish.
“We should get coffee sometime. I'm usually free after 5pm on weekdays if that works for you”
It names an activity but leaves the day completely open and asks if her weekday schedule matches yours, which is too much negotiation before she's even said yes.
Common mistakes
- Using words like 'hang out' or 'see where things go' instead of naming the date
- Not giving any time frame so she doesn't know when you actually mean
- Asking something too vague like 'what do you like to do?' instead of suggesting something
- Waiting too long to ask after matching or getting her number
- Being so casual that she can't tell if you're joking or serious
Questions people ask
- What if she suggests something different than what I proposed?
- That's a good sign. She's engaged and telling you what she wants to do. Say yes if it works for your schedule. A counter-offer means she's interested in seeing you, just on her terms. That's not a rejection, it's a negotiation.
- Should I ask her what she likes to do first before suggesting something?
- No. You pick something you want to do and ask her to join you. If she doesn't like your idea, she can say so or suggest an alternative. Asking permission first is just another way of being vague. Lead with a real proposal.
- How specific does the time need to be?
- Give her enough information to say yes or no. 'Saturday afternoon' works. 'Sometime this weekend' doesn't. You don't need the exact minute, but she needs to know what day and what part of the day so she can actually commit.
- What if I don't know what activity to suggest?
- Pick something low-pressure and easy to talk during. Coffee, drinks, a walk, a casual meal. Don't overthink it. The activity matters less than showing you have a plan. Pick something you'll actually enjoy too, so you're not faking enthusiasm.
