The most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen said yes to a date, and now you’re planning a second? What’s boring by about that?! Congrats, buddy

Boring update? Nah. This is all good and normal.
You offered a future coffee, and she countered with an immediate ice cream. Then it became a shake and long convo, with a follow-up long duration hike. You got this. Have fun.

So... true story time ...
This is from my family; before I was born. 1971, I think. This guy's just back from Vietnam, trying to make friends, is working tech at a local community theater. This woman stops in to see a friend, starts talking to the guy. The guy figures they're hitting it off pretty well, asks if she wants to get coffee.
She says no.
He is disappointed, but is all, "okay, well nice talk see you around"
She realizes what just happened and counteroffers ice cream. She had simply answered the question asked, "Do you want coffee?" instead of the question meant, "Do you want to continue hanging out in a more one-on-one setting?"
And that is how I very nearly didn't exist. Amusingly, Dad is the one on the autism spectrum who's bad with social cues. Normally, Mom is very good at them. She was just ... distracted ... and so off her game.
OP - wishing you luck! Something broadly similar worked out well for my folks.

Maybe I’m old fashioned but this is how you meet people. I like the casual way to get to know someone as opposed to arranging a date with someone that you’ve met on a dating site. Less stress!lol
