To all ...

I get your point, and I can see how one would interpret my statement in the manner you all took it. Let me clarify.

I see no reason to hide my actions. Just so happens the date wanted to meet at a wine bar in the area. I suggested this one (by far the best atmosphere, wine, food, etc.). Any other consequence or feedback to my W about this date did not influence my decision to meet there. I was just pointing out that this was a likely outcome. I don't really care either way (i.e. - detachment), am looking forward to getting out for the evening and possibly making a new friend (i.e. - GAL), and am happy with my decision.

Much appreciate all your feedback and keeping things honest.
