CTY, just be careful, anytime you go out one on one with someone you are attracted to as "friends" there is the potential for issues to arise. I say this because I know what the mind is capable of, "Oh, we're just friends, sure I'll take that aerobics class with you, sure we can meet for drinks, I'm free that weekend maybe we can...." I understand the awkwardness of backing out now but just be careful because knowing each other in a group versus going out together as a friendly couple is different and different dynamics can come into play. I've been there, I really do know about the "friend" dilema, it's way too easy to play head games with yourself. You are alone and vulnerable, the feeling of validation when you are out with a beautiful woman who likes you can be pretty overpowering. Tread carefully...oh, and have fun!
