ahhhh.. Dan throwing another hook in the water to see if you bite or nibble. Grrrrrrr
On the 8 date thing, I think I would maybe just ask him over the phone and get it settled. You are both adults so instead of wondering you take the lead and find out if you both are taking it slow or if he just wants to be friends. But don't start out by saying your fine either way. Let his feelings be known first. But it is time to pose the question my dear.
Dating is weird at this stage for sure!
