There is a big difference between being interested enough to say yes and being interested enough after working all day to come home, take time to get ready, put on makeup and then drive to wherever you are meeting. They are interested until they actually have to make the effort to do it. Then they realize they simply aren't that interested.
Both of you express the same idea here and it is a valid idea. It represents many first date flakes.She's initially excited when you first start chatting, but of course that feeling is fleeting and transient, as all emotions detached from desperation tend to be. When push comes to shove and the day of the date finally comes, and you're faced with the reality that you have to spend HOURS preparing your hair and makeup, you have to make sure all that body hair is taken care of, you have to expend energy to meet a new person, you have to potentially need to deal with rejecting someone or getting rejected, etc., that initial excitement you felt a few days or even weeks ago doesn't seem to justify all the work you suddenly realize that you need to put in. Especially when you could just meet another guy anytime you want when you feel more in-the-mood.
This is an indication of a lower interest level. Shortening the window of time from date offer presented to actual date isn't likely to help much with lower interest level. Interest level must be raised. If this was a date arranged from a tech-based method, her impression is based on some abstraction of a man from texting and possibly a phone/video call. She hasn't had the real life experience of that man. Raising an interest level based on an abstraction is possible but more difficult.
Interest level can be raised through combination of self-improvement (presenting a better overall product to women) and real life approaching (her impression of you is more rooted in reality).
