You know what buddy, you deserve to feel good about this first date. In a couple of days, send her a text and invite her out to that spot in the city you want to visit.

I don't think you did, don't be so hard on yourself. And if she isn't interested you gained a great reference point.

Definitely agree with /u/DamienDieckeSOA, but just a word of precaution from someone else who has gone on an actual date with Tinder..
Do not invest everything into her (keep your options open so you're not heartbroken if she loses interest), it will (most likely) scare her off. I really liked the girl, we vibed really well, but I invested too much into her after the second date, instantly replied to her texts, always tried to talk to her etc.
Anyways, sounds like you're doing great and know what you're doing so I'll just shut up =P keep up the good work!

Don't try, do it! As much as I understand where you're coming from, I don't want you to get attached like this after a first date. Although what you did in the date didn't ruin your chances, being too attached will. I don't know how busy your life is but keep busy in your life so you don't get into that zone of being attached.
Not wanting to fuck up could also fuck it up, take some risks, if you're going on a second date and if you really read her signs right on the first date then go for that kiss if everything in the moment of the second date feels right.

if youve never been on a date before, what do you with your tinder hookups? genuine question.

I think what happened is awesome and great, but I think it's important to understand that desire to not fuck things up is what will hold you back from here on out.
First off, you're assuming there's something you can do to fuck it up, which may be true but in my experience fucking up is usually more of the case of what you don't do than anything. Second off worrying about screwing something up puts you inside your head which will make you more apt to indeed screw something up.
I know you're new to this (so am I, though not as new as you), but you have to realize that you are fine just the way you are. It's your self-acceptance as an attractive person combined with romantic persistence that's going to win her over.
So relax, take a deep breath, and smile. You're doing great and you're going to continue to do great. Just remind yourself that you're fine just the way you are and don't be afraid to show her the "real" you and be a little reckless with how smooth you're trying to be.

I'm a little late to the thread, and I'm sure someone already said this, but you just worried too much. Honestly, from her perspective, you did magnificent.

Good job for a first date, make sure to kiss her on the next one otherwise she'll think you aren't interested or just want to be friends!

Good first step! Be sure to not get oneitis!
Choose a day and invite her out again for that date. She'll either respond or not. If not, drop her and move on.

The next text you send her should be relevant and meaningful.
Don't send a text saying: "heyyy, how's it going?"
Send something like: "what's so special about this place you want me to see?"
