Thanks everyone for your input. I'll find out when she's free. Then I'll ask her what kind of food she likes and research the best place to go and take her there. I'm pretty good at finding really good places to eat. But I need to know what she likes. I like everything so no problem there.

Except like lots of things posted, it isn't true. Plenty of 30 and 40 something women prefer keeping terminology casual and hate the idea of "dating", they hang out with the people they're seeing and prefer it that way. Plenty of people even marry and never use terminology like dating, or boyfriend / girlfriend, and gasp... loads of people HATE HATE HATE dating or being asked out on a date formally.
I like the process, asking someone out, making a plan, picking them up and executing it... but believe me, there are just as many women that hate that formal approach as there are that like it.
You know some very different women than the gals that I know. We've established that previously.
Be aware of girls who like horses... I know that sounds like a silly statement... just beware. Any woman who likes horses wants a fairytale and expensive ones. Also any woman who wants to ride a big beast is going to expect to ride you. Which could be bad if you dont like being on the bottom. :-)
Don't ever ask a woman to "hang out" if you are interested in dating her. To a woman it sounds like you're not sure whether you want to date her or not. She doesn't know where she stands with you. Friend? Romantic interest???

I'm not a huge fan of labels. However, in my experience, if a guy tells me he wants to hang out sometime shortly after meeting, I've already been "friend zoned". I've never had a guy ask me to hang out and have that mean he's asking me on a date; but I do have a lot of male friends. And no, I'm not misinterpreting because when we do hang out, they will ask for my advice on meeting/dating other women.
So based on my experience (and this goes back to grade school), if a guy asked me to hang out when he was really asking for a formal date, I'd just assume he wasn't interested in dating me but saw value in me as a potential friend. *shrugs*
It didn't go well. I messaged her again and she said she is sick, and said she would have to make it another time. I just said, "I'm sorry, hope you feel better soon."
I don't like to waste time going after people who give excuses. We've all been through that and it's almost always a waste of time. The only exception is when they are specific about setting up a new date time. Anyway, balls in her court. Time to move on.

Maybe she really is sick, it's not an excuse to get out of seeing you and the last thing she wants to think about while puking her guts out is her social calendar. Just a thought.
