I recently read something... I think it was some other thread on this forum... about how when you ask someone to do something, you shouldn't let them mull over their questions, but should just speak as if they're going to say yes.
So instead asking them, "Want to go hang out at X?", you say, "Hey, let's go have some fun doing X!" Or something similar. It's an idea; I haven't tried it out myself.
