I met a girl on Hinge last week. I was pretty direct with her and asked her out for the get go. We went out last night and I arrived 30 mins early to ensure I could grab a table. She was already there. I was impressed. We clicked really well. We had some many crazy, strange things in common. We cheered multiple times, she poured me some of her drink, gave me a bite of her food, and gave me multiple compliments. She was clearly nervous and went to the bathroom several times, but she still contributed to the conversation. She offered to pay her part, but I wouldn't let her. I walked her back to her car with my umbrella and she gave me a hug and said goodnight.
I had a good feeling about it. I sent her a text when I got home and said, "I hope you made it home okay. I had a good time tonight. I'm glad I was able to give you a great the best drink experience in town." She said, "I am home, thanks! Thanks for the drinks and dinner. I really loved getting to know you!" I replied this morning, "I loved getting to know you, too. I would like to learn more about you soon. I hope you have a great start to the week!" She didn't respond. Since she hasn't reciprocated yet, would I come off too eager if I asked her out again tomorrow for next week or this weekend? I thought maybe I came off too eager with my reply this morning. If she replies, should I ask her out again tomorrow? If she doesn't, should I ask her out tomorrow or wait until later in the week? I'm not huge on the "3 day to a week" rule and like to be more direct rather than play games.

I'd give it a day, no more, before messaging again. And at least until late evening so ordinary workday etc is finished and she had a few hours to settle down.
And then, I'd just do what you said. Message. Upfront. Direct. Would love to go out again. Suggest dates if you want to.
That is not particularly pushy but just knowing what you want. Honestly though, rules in dating only matter until you decide to ignore them. Once you do and make it clear you do not care for this or that, negative, rule? People generally approve. Of course this assumes it is a bad rule. Not caring for rules of hygiene won't earn any favours.

And yet here you are, expecting rules.
