Duffy X

So on Wednesday I'm supposed to be going to dinner with Secret Lover, Appletini, and Bre right? Remember? Awesome. Okay, so they had suggested I ask Duffy to go, and I figured "Eh, why not?" so I called her just now:

Me: Hellooooooooooooo
Her: Hi (or something)
M: blah blah blah blah blah
H: bob loblaw lobs law bomb
>3 minutes later<
M: So what are you doing on Wednesday...are you working?
H: Wednesday, um, no. Or, well, I work in the morning
M: Oh, do you want to be my date that night?
H: Sure. Or, well, perhaps, my cousin has something that we're supposed to go to, but I don't really know.
*Okay, so she said sure immediately to my very open ended question of "want to be my date?" I'd just like to present that as evidence that she IS indeed interested, right?*
M: Oh, ok. Well, here's the deal: My two friends and I decided to take our other friend to Cheesecake Factory as a graduation gift. Long story short, it became this whole big thing, and now Appletini and Bre are bringing their fiancees and Secret Lover is bringing her boyfriend, so now I need a date.
H: Oh yeah, ok, well, I'll find out about my cousin's thing and let you know.
M: Okay, cool, I'll let you go walk your dog then I guess.
H: Byeeee
M: Byeeee

Thoughts? That sounds more receptive to me, but what do you (two) think?
