Don't overthink this either.

A date is just a date. That's it! Jeez, I can't believe how you can go from a "date" to "relationship" like zero to sixty in five seconds.

It's just a date, just a cup of coffee, just a movie, just lunch......with a friend.

But if you can't do this casually, and no, I don't mean sex, then skip it. It's just that you might actually enjoy going out.

Or not.
