Please do not go out w/this guy. He knew how to bait the hook to get you to go out for a drink. He could have told you what he meant over the phone...but he chose to ask you to go out. He's not going to change and yes, he is a putz!
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.
