I think more conversation was needed. Once she said “yeah that would be good” you could have asked “what’s your schedule like?” to get her a bit more invested and solidify the date more

yeah agree with this. Her "yeah that would be good" is a soft commitment, jumping too hard on to that is gonna push her away. Probably would have been better to say something like "Shoot me your # and we can set something up"

@John Jacobs has an interesting theory that sounds very plausible.
I will add that "for romantic purposes" is really something that will only sound good if you have joked with the word romantic before. Otherwise it comes out of no where & it can sound neutral or bad.
Lastly, sometimes it just happens
