If he really didn't want to go out, he wouldn't have asked you. I would go and enjoy the meal. Follow his lead on conversation and if he doesn't talk much, you won't either. He may not take you to a fancy place, but somewhere very low key, so don't be disappointed.
As for the candy, he's keeping it very impersonal and is still on the teenager level, just a bit. At least he got you a card and some candy. LOL! Many lbs would dearly love to have any kind of recognition on their anniversaries...even if it was just a card.
I would dress up and put on that special perfume and be ready to go when he gets home. It may be awkward for a bit, but once you are seated and have ordered, you can always look around at the surroundings, etc. to pass the time. You don't always have to have a in-depth conversation...just enjoy the atmosphere.
Good luck! Happy Anniversary!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
