Say something like "You seem like a fun person and I would like to see you again for coffee.I don't have much time right now so I am leaving you my phone number and call me next week and we will arrange for meeting.It was nice meeting you" You can invite that person early in the conversation and let that person decide if they will call you.No pressure for anyone.Imagine if you do that to 3 people per week, chances are that you will have a busy dating life.You will make all of your unhappy married friends envious
