be casual and then mention an activity that you're planning on doing where she's welcome to join you.

This is so key in so many "dating" situtations. So often I hear some guy wondering where to "take a girl on a date" and think about what she might like (usually a bunch of boring and expensive things that are supposed to impress the girl.) A much better plan is to ask her to come to something you like doing and/or are already doing. This can be anything from shooting pool, playing tennis, or going to happy hours.

If you're having a great time (and you have a decent personality) she'll have a great time. This approach is spontaneous, easy, fun, and also avoids issues of who pays (since you aren't "taking her to on a date".)
