What do I say in this situation?

[GaryNas]

I need a bit of help here. What parts of this phone conversation should I change when I face similar circumstances with other girls:

This is all paraphrased:

HB8: Hello
Me: Hey, it's blah blah
HB8: Hey! I'm on my way to work, stuck in traffic
Me: Oh yeah? Hey listen, let's go get a drink after you get off work tonight.
HB8: I think that will be too late (she works until 11).
Me: You think? I'm fine with it.
HB8: Yeah, it's pretty late
<small talk for about a minute about school>
Me: So what do you say? You owe me a drink anyway.
HB8: <laughing> For what? (She paid last time)
Me: I'm not sure, but trust me. So you think it's too late?
HB8: Yeah, but I'll call you.
Me: Alright, I'll talk to you later then.

Quick Background: The last time we went out (when she paid for drinks) was to "study". Since then she dropped the class so it was clear to her that I was simply asking her out. I've only known her for about a month too.

I'm not sure if I'll hear from her again, but that's not the issue here... What mistakes were made? Two things I think I did right were *tell* her that we're going out and not ask. Secondly I told her that she could buy me a drink, even though she bought last time... I didn't put her on a pedistal.

How can I improve this type of conversation with future ladies? What should I say after the "I'll call you" line?

it was ok, but u couldve done better

always ask once, if they give you a no, just be cool with it
dont ask a second time, it'll be like nagging, if they dont want to then they dont want to.

well you could say "im going to the bar in a bit, u wanna join me?"
whether or not she goes w/u , you still go to the bar.
but i'm not sure if this really works better compared to the "lets go to the bar"

Sorry guys, I'm not usually a bumper, but, *bump*.

HB8: I think that will be too late (she works until 11).
Me: Wow, I had an 11pm curfew when I was 15.
HB8: Yeah, it's pretty late
<small talk for about a minute about school>
Me: You owe me a drink anyway, it's about time you get me back.
HB8: <laughing> For what? (She paid last time)
Me: I'm not sure, but trust me. I'll see you around 12.
HB8: Yeah, but I'll call you.
Me: Alright, I'll talk to you later then.

I would've stopped saying "You think?". When she said "It's kinda late" or whatever, that's obvious no intent of interest on her part. You *might* have been able to spark something by being funny. Saying something like, "you have a curfew? I see, I guess it's for the better anyhow since I only date grown women.".

But it does seem like a no go from the get go. Sorry
