Confusing text game!

[Smith]

Hey fellows, I just met a girl at a rifle shooting range recently. Everything was going OK and I got her number in the end. The initial text was the standard " glad to meet blah blah! The Smith =)" then she replied that she will keep me updated on a TV show we talked about, but I didn't reply and went to bed.
She text the next day asking "how was my classes?"
I was tempted to ignore this text because from my experience, it leads nowhere, but then I thought she was into me, and if I don't reply, she might go into auto-rejection. So we chatted for a few text then I ask her if she wants to bake this Thursday (since she told me she likes baking), then she replied
"I don't think I can on Thursday. I already made plans with friends during the day and night...Sowe maybe another time when you're not busy?"
At this point, I'm really confused because she's the one who's busy.
so I replied "yea no problem! text me when you're not busy... then we'll sort something out..."
Her: "I'm never busy so you text me when you're on top of your study kk "
Me: " life is too short to study!"
Her: "haha but i don't want to be the reason you fail just cuz you were baking"
Me: " You're such a drama queen! It's cute though "
then the conversation drags on for a bit, which I hate, because I usually just text girls to get them out.
Now I think about it, I think I should have ignored that text and text her the next day saying I was busy and if she wants to grab a drink or something this weekend?
What do you guys think? any input is appreciated!

I would text her, pitch a date idea, and ask what her schedule looks like this week. If she still keeps dodging the question, NEXT her. She's not interested

I dont know dude, baking? How about something YOU enjoy doing and taking her along. Like bike riding or shooting pool. The baking idea makes you come off needy/ desperate.

lol I posted this while I was still texting her(even though the texting lasted for a couple of hours but not many texts were exchanged because I was busy)... but just before I went to bed, she said she's free on that day during the day because her friends changed the plan to sat, but I have plans during the day, so I told her let just reschedule next week. Then she replied that she'll bake tomorrow and we can meet up. If I like her food, we can arrange a proper time next week.
Things turned out alright and she's investing a lot more now lol
The reason I choose baking is because SHE said SHE loves to cook. In the past, I used to take girls to things I THOUGHT they would enjoy, but things always end up neutral, or they put up resistance. Plus, it doesn't matter what we do on the date anyway!

think about your dates before you arrange them. i know it sounds good on to surface to say ohhh ill take her baking she loves that, she will have a great time or i'll take her to a theme park, everybody loves theme parks, it will be crazy and all laughs, then we'll fuck. in my experience these dates are just too much that it subtracts from anything really important and serious happening ie getting her back to yours. you don't want dates to be too fun and full of energy, you want them to gel with your logistics allowing for a smooth ride. not saying you don't want your girl to be happy, just make sure your not arranging your dates with her potential enjoyment levels solely in mind.
