So, I met this girl at the pet store. The details of how I met her are below. But before I get to those details, I want to know what people think of this. I met this girl at the pet store on Saturday at about 1pm. I was thinking about calling her on Monday sometime mid day. I want to do something like this:

"Hey this is Horologist, remember me?" .... "Hey so I was thinking about when we talked and I think you're a pretty cool girl, I'd like to get to know you better. I think Pool or Dinner and a Movie is kind of impersonal, so I wanna cook you dinner at my house. I'm a bad ass cook and I want you to help me make these enchiladas, it's kind of a two person job."

I think this may be perfect, because

A: It will isolate
B: I think it is actually more personal, and this girl is (as far as I can tell) girlfriend material, so it'll allow for more personal game to actually get to know this girl.
C: Let her see my bad ass house with all of my badass antiques and badass possessions. My entire house is one big weird conversation piece. I never have to point things out to people, everyone who comes in my house naturally asks question after question and finds everything insanely interesting. It's good for easy conversation.
D: I have some wine I've been making that is ready to be sweetened. I figured I could say "hey do you like wine?" to which I'm sure she'll say yes. Then instead of being typical and opening a bottle of store bought wine, I could tell her I want her to help me sweeten and taste test my wine until it's good, and then she can help me bottle it; to which she can have a bottle, if she wants it.

Now, from the interaction I've had with this girl, she is well spoken, seems to be in college (I think), friendly, and pretty intelligent. Of course I don't know her, but we can all get initial judgements of people's personalities based on how they present themselves, and this is the basic feel I got from her.

Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this date idea?

I am wondering a couple of things. Do you think I should suggest the date for Tuesday (the day after calling), and also should I just let her show up here, or should I go pick her up? I know these are technicalities, but considering it is an interesting first date idea, I wonder which would maximize on her comfort level.

Here's the details below of how I met this girl today:

----
So I was at Petsmart with my mom (she was visiting) and two kids, 'cause I got a 55 gallon fish tank to make my house more attractive. I stood in line right ahead of my mom, kids next to me, and spotted this dyed red (unnatural red) cashier, very skinny girl; absolutely my type. I noticed she eyeballed me for a split second, so I looked for something to talk to her about. I thought about commenting on her hair first, but then I noticed she had a small Anchor tattoo on her right index finger. When I got to her I smiled big and said "that tattoo on your finger is bitchin'," she said thanks. I told her I wanted to look at it, so she held her hand up closer, but I went ahead and grabbed her hand and pulled it close to look at it, and purposefully rubbed the tattoo, like a small caress with my thumb. I asked her if it hurt, she said no, that she's got tattoos in all the hurting spots and told me about a tattoo in the center of her chest. I took this as an IOI (indicator of interest) because she was very heavily wanting to volunteer information. I told her I liked it. I asked her how many tattoos she has, she said 7. I told her "I have 23, but who's counting." She then complimented my T-Shirt, which is a sexy tattooed girl cartoon in glasses, very 50s pinup style.

Something very important is that I noticed my kids standing close to me, but the older one was talking to the little one. She looked over at them and gave them a genuine smile, like she thought they were cute.

Somewhere in there she told me that she studies acting, but I can't remember why she told me that. I was interested in that, because I'm really big into performing arts (easy conversation for me).

About this time I was done, and my mom started buying her stuff, she got distracted by something so I quit talking. As we were walking out I told her "it was good to meet you" She smiled and said "you too."

Honestly it would have been strange before this point to ask for her number, things with her cashier job started getting rushed so it would have been awkward. We left, we went to a restaurant, and I told my mom we needed to go back to petsmart so I could get that girls number.

We got back, I walk in and immediately she sees me. She says "Back already?" I said "Yeah! Sure am!."

I wait in line for a minute, her line, which is longer, I act casual. Because of the wait, and having to break the confidence 3-second rule by a technicality, I start getting a little nervous. But fuck it! Who cares.

When I walk up she says the first thing, "Did you run out of these already?" (fish food, the exact same single thing I bought earlier, I did this on purpose, I thought it would be effective to make a point of intention). I set them down in front of her, looked directly at her and said "I don't really need these. I left earlier and I was going to kick my own ass if I didn't come back and ask for your number." She smiles and says "Oh yeah?", "Yeah, so I really want your number." I step closer to her and pull out my phone, "alright so what is it?" She tells me, I ask her if she plays pool, she is giddy at this point, it seems. She tells me "Yeah! But very badly!" I say "Well that's cool it doesn't matter."

She works at Petsmart, I've already identified that she loves dogs, so I ask her "You wanna see a picture of my precious pumpkin baby?" She is very interested, I show her the lock screen on my phone of my muscle-bound Pit Bull, she thinks he's adorable with the "awwwww OH MY GOD he's huge!"

I shake her hand and say "Oh yeah I'm Horologist by the way." She says "I'm Ce*****." I tell her I'm going to call her, She says "Alright awesome that would be great!" I say again as I'm walking out "I'll call you!" she says "yeah totally just text me sometime" nonchalantly. I then tell her "yeah I really don't like to text so I'm definitely going to call you." She smiles and says "Okay sounds good!"

Love it. I love that you did that and how you said it. Bravo!

Now this is just meee. But I don't think she would be comfortable to go to your house and have dinner with you after having just met you at Petsmart. This is just me! If you still feel like she would. By all means stick with your plan.

If I were you I would call her and say all this that I wrote out for you, which uses NLP (meaning it will be pretty persuasive): "Hey it's Horologist You gave me your number on (whatever day it was)" "Hey " "All of my friends are telling me that there is this awesome (something. could be a statue/city attraction etc. or just something you've found cool in the area) in (a public place. Like a mall) that is suppose to be really (exciting/cool/interesting/you get the idea) and (awesome/whatever makes it of value). I know we both have barelyyy even talked, probablyyy both have busy schedules, but hey, despite all that, we're both pretty damn cute. Let me take you to see it the next time you're off. What do you say."

If you get an answering machine I would say "Hey it's Horologist. You gave me your number on (whatever day). I'm kinddd of going in and out right noww.. sooo yeaaa. Give me a call back later. Bye." This is basically a curiosity hook. She will be curious to what you meant and will call back asking. To which you can say "I was just in traffic." Or something stupid like that.

I hope this helps!
Either way please comment back and let me know how it goes

Hmm now you've got me thinking. That does sound like a good idea.

As long as I can get her to my house, I can assure her comfort beyond any shadow of a doubt. But the possibility of her denying coming to my house is there, and it would seem desperate to try and recover from a "maybe another time" by saying "or we could go to blah-blah attraction."

Interesting point, man. Thank you for your advice. It's really good.

I would go with my idea, and then afterwards, see if she would want to come over to your house. You have to make sure the logistics are in order. By that I mean:

her: I'm hungry
you: you know, I just bought this great salad (or some shit) at my house. Lets go!

or

her: I've never seen the movie peter pan...
me: you know, I have that at my house. It's not too late in the day, let's go watch it!

you see what I'm getting at? If the logistics line up, she will be more prone to coming over. It would make more sense for her to. You could even tell her on the day you guys are suppose to go see that "thing" (haha) "Meet me at my house before we go? I have to...(something that logistically makes sense!) get my kid out of the tub. He got his hair caught in the drain. Haha." You get the idea.

And thanks Like I said. I hope it all plays out well!

Too fast. Too soon. This will come off as try-hard and/or creepy.

Drinks first. If it goes well, then take her back to your place.

If you met this girl out and had a 20 or 30 minute long instadate kinda thing first, I'd say you're good to go with your plan. But considering you've had all of 5 minutes of conversation together, there's a chance that this will be coming on way too strong to her.

I'd say that first just ask her to meet up for coffee. If that goes really well you can mention that you have a dvd back at your place and that she should come and have a movie party. If she balks try it for the next date.

Big +1 on everyone who has responded to you so far. An invite over to your house is going to make you look a bit creepy.

My response is a little OT because I see you putting too much into this girl after just meeting her: You'll never be able to tell if a girl is girlfriend material in a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days. Your current line of thinking will make you overlook red flags in her personality because you've already gotten it in your head that she is "girlfriend material".

You are all correct for sure. It was over-thinking at it's best, on my part.

I will definitely take all of the advice here, and start it off simple.

Thank you all!
