hi - a girl i know has emailed me asking me out, and i really want to
impress her by replying in period-drama style. A bit like pride and
prejudice, or sense and sensibility or something.

Can anyone help me please?

I was thinking something along along the lines of:

"I would be most happy to accompany you for coffee blah blah" but
better than that!

Please can anyone help me!

thanks

Do a combination of both.

"Thank you for your kind invitation.

I would be pleased to accompany a person such as you
to (the designated social event.)

In plain English, thanks for asking me out. I think
you're a neat person and I really would like to go out
with you."
