This girl from my college has been flirty since she gave me her number. She's cute and very interested since she really wanted to hang out during the weekend but during mid day. I plan on taking her out for a while and going to the gym by myself afterwards but since it's the first date, I'm not really up for fucking her until she displays qualities of an LTR as I have enough plates

Are there any interesting ways to close a date without coming off as rough or being a douche? Do I escalate, then tell her I have things to do then walk her home then tell her I'll message her after if I'm interested?
