hi doll. i'm not sure ... perhaps? i think it would be more comfortable if you put the word date out of your mind (yeah, because *that* would be so easy to do!) and think of this as a hike with a friend who happens to be a guy.
sounds like you are both in a bit of the same place, so why not just have some company while you're there? think of him as a new friend. if he does bring up something else, then be as frank with him as you were with us.
you raise valid concerns about fishing off the company pier. however, friendship is a gift. my guy friends are just as treasured as my gf - sometimes even a bit more in the case of my brother from another mother ... his perspective is really so helpful.
So after that no help at all blathering on my part, go - have fun. be your beautiful self.
AND come back and tell us how it went!! xoxoxoxoxo
