Hi guys. I seem to have a persistent sticking point in daygame.. which is, how to transition to a date in the night?

The interactions go well and I suggest we have a drink, get her number, and they usually do not reply to text.

It seems they will reply if already DTF, but most girls will not. Do they see it as weird to have a night date with a guy they just met? If so, why don't they think it's weird to do that off Tinder / OKCupid?

Should I instead always suggest the first date as lunch or coffee instead, and build attraction from there? (I heard once that lunch is a ticket to the friendzone, so not sure what is best to do in this situation).
