I am with WIA on this one. The OP says first date. So i will assume you dont really have much of an upper hand in the relationship.
If its someone you have communicated with a long time, then sometimes you have the dynamic where you are dominant and tell her what to do.
But if you dont really know eachother yet, you dont have the attraction built up enough to do that.
Getting into a lengthy tug of war over location and logistics isnt very productive at this stage. I usually dont sweat the logistics/timing issues, the priority is getting her on the date now. You can establish the vibe and dynamic there.
I dont see a FLUID way to argue and stand your ground on this if she insists. It can often degrade into a vibe killer. Unless the girl is already a bit weak in her frame.
