That was my thought, too: This is a fairly simple but apparently effective bit of dating advice.
Don't invite someone out "sometime". Propose having dinner this Friday at 8 pm. Or better, dinner this Friday at 8 pm at Chez Whatever.
If they don't like Chez Whatever, you can negotiate on this point. Or maybe 8:30 pm is better.
Anything other than a clean reason for declination, including the proverbial "Perhaps another time", is "no". Well... You might still follow up to be sure. Again, with a specific proposal.
I also like the idea of a sort of "non-date". I'm going to be doing some (cool to me, at least -- I'll be having fun) stuff. Want to join in?
If you're enjoying yourself, you're probably going to be a lot more attractive, anyway.
