Tried to set up date with girl but she just went out of town and won't be back until wed. I'm busy wed evening, but am free Thur evening next week. Should I wait a couple days before I ask for a thur date or just try to set it up now far in advance?

I met her a couple days ago when going out. It went well. I texted her yesterday and she responded very quickly to all my messages. She seems interested, but girls are fickle. I've been told to try to always set up a date a 2-3 days beforehand.
