"hey dinner next thursday 600 be there"

is that good way or is there a better way?

is it better to pick multiple days and give her the option to pick the day?

Depends on the girl and the context of what you're doing/where you are when you're asking and how you're asking (in person, on phone, via text, etc).

Ordering her around is not a good way at all!

After talking with her for a while...
"I was wondering... would you like to go out for dinner this weekend?"

"Would you like to have breakfast with me tomorrow?"

Worked on me, but I'm a guy.

That original one would only work if you were the Fonz. The second one still comes across as a demand or presumption. "Would you care to join me for _______ on (name the day/evening)?" is much more polite and gentlemanly. Manners count!

I think the best way is to tell them.

Instead of "Would you like to grab coffee with me Wednesday?"

Say "Lets do coffee at 3 at the Starbucks on 20th." try to make it within a conversation or string of texts that she is engaged in. If she can't make it she'll change the date or offer a different activity.

I recently changed over to that and have got a lot better results. Usually the dates go better to since you know they're excited to see you too instead of just going to be polite.

I would answer something like "I eat dinner every night, thanks." Then move along.

Ask her out politely, don't be presumptuous or bark orders, sheesh. Give her 3 days advance notice and let her know where you are taking her, so she knows what to wear. Again... be polite. Good luck!
