A bar, the street, a bookstore, or the phone.

So...can you give me some advice on how to schedule day2s? A lot of times I run into a situation where the girl is interested to day2, but not totally or enormously into me. She's at the level of "this guy seems fun, I could see him again". At this point it's a matter of logistics - finding the overlapping holes in our work and play schedules WITHOUT sounding needy or free all the time! She might be up for meeting after work one day, but she might not be interested to give up her Saturday afternoon or evening to some guy who seemed cool but is still kind of a stranger. Right?
So, how do I organize the day2 without appearing needy or free all the time? I realize I'm losing pulls to this. Here's my typical phone conversation.
Me: Hey, we should get together for coffee some time.
Her: Yeah, that would be fun.
Me: How about Tuesday at 7pm?
Her: I have blah and blah at that time.
Me: [desperately thinking how to suggest another time without seeming like i have nothing better to do]
Got any sample scripts that you've actually used with women to set up a day2 in two busy peoples' lives? Should I just ask her when she's free, and find which times overlap mine? Or what?
