Why not just see how it goes?
If you like her, you could invite her to your house for coffee some time and if you don’t think she’s your type, just say it’s been nice meeting her and leave it at that.
Don’t expect too much - it takes time to get to know people.

When you finish the coffee and are getting ready to leave, you just say "I enjoyed this morning, shall we do it again?" Smile; wait for her response. If she had fun and wants to do it again , she will suggest a day/time. If she doesn't want to do it any more, , she'll say "I'll have to look at my diary then text you byeee".

Unless she bored your pants off , in which case you just say
" It was so nice to meet you today, goodbye". Smile, Turn, walk.

I take my grandson to a playgroup every Tuesday.
Last week I met a man who was there with his granddaughter.
When he heard I was French , he said his best friend is married to a french lady too and he decided he was going to introduce us by text .
A couple of days later , I received a friendly message from french lady and we have agreed to meet for a coffee on Friday.
I am quite anxious about this because I find it hard to meet new people and this feels very much arranged ´.
I am not going to cancel and I hope it will go well but has anybody got any ideas how we move on from first ´date ´ , assuming of course that we both want to ?
And how will I know she is keen on carrying on relationship or vice-versa ?
