    "Will you go..." translation

    I was wondering if I could get someone to properly translate this sentence into Russian:

    "Will you go on a date with me"

    And if I wanted to modify it to include a day:

    "Will you go on a date with me this Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday"

    Thanks!

    It may strongly depend on context.
    Here is the most universal translation:
    "Давайте встретимся."
    "Давайте встретимся в это воскресенье/этот понедельник/этот вторник/эту среду/этот четверг/эту пятницу/эту субботу."

    Literally it means "Let us meet (this S/M/...)". If you need something less general, make more exact request.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    It seems to me that FillySat wants to know what to say to a girl he likes, to a girl he wants to be his girlfriend. Than "Will you go on a date with me" will be something like "Пойдешь со мной на свидание?", and "Will you go on a date with me this Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday" - "Я хочу пригласить тебя на свидание. Давай встретимся в это воскресенье/этот понедельник/этот вторник/эту среду/этот четверг/эту пятницу/эту субботу".
    "Давайте" is a formal form, it would be OK if the addressee is his business partner, but won't fit in this case.

    Yes, this would be to ask a girl on a date. It wouldn't be a casual, "Do you want to go out" like you would say to a friend. I want to make sure the term "date" is translated well from English to Russian because I do intend for it to be romantic. Hopefully that clarifies. Thanks for the responses!
