I have to agree. Women like assertive men, as long as they are not jerks about it. But she might also be seeing someone else. So you simply have to tell her "I'll pick you up at 6pm and take you to PF Chang's for dinner on Friday night. See you then."
I have a long time interest in psychology, specializing in relationship dynamics for 30 years.
