Thanks guys, both great pieces of advice.
Captain, I feel you, near my place there is pretty much nothing apart from housing, there are areas of course which are a few stops away, I'm gonna check out a nice bar this week which is around 6 stops away or so (15 mins).
It's just this particular one lives literally at the opposite side of town, and while she does like me, she's still putting up a bit of a fight (I actually think she is slightly nuts, but whatever).
But just for the future, Rodeo your advice is awesome. Meeting her at her place.
About meeting her near mine and establishing comfort early on in the date at my place, is that essential? Thing is it would logistically be completely retarded for her or anyone to meet me near my house and then go somewhere, since our date area would most likely always be on the way to my place, so she could just say "Why don't we just meet at x?"
I wish I lived in the city center.
Unfortunately when I move to London this year, my campus is 30 mins outside the center, too, so that might be a bit of a problem, too.
Thanks again for any advice!
Getting her back to your house isn't essential - it merely shortens the length of time it takes your date to get DTF.
I suggest scouring your neighborhood. Antique shops, museums, coffe shops, bagel joints, odd places, local dive bar - something distinctive and cool. You meet at your place, bounce to the date, come back and you're golden.
This past Friday, I had a day2 come over. She came inside, I got us a glass of wine, asked what she'd like to do... she hesitatied and pushed the decision back to me so I said "let's take a walk..." and took a few slices of bread and walked to a nearby pond with a pavilion. We fed snapper turtles and I escalated. When I returned, she was DTF then and there. I'd already done the prep work ahead of time...
