How to text if you would like to date someone.

Not: “What’s up”

Not: “<open-ended question>”

Not: “<this is what I did over the weekend>. How was yours?”

Yes: <Logistics of meeting up>

Get agreement of Time, Agenda, Outcome -- up front and in that order. Helps with all meetings not just dates.

In my experience.

Agenda - What are we going to do?

Outcome - How do we know if the agenda was successful? / Or when to end the meeting (more for exploratory stuff, dates included).
