It sounds like your friend who pushed you to date had your best interests at heart. It is always good to push the limits of our comfort zone, that is when we experience the most growth. It is also good because we can learn where our true limits are. It may very well be that that type of dating is not for you. You need to follow your values.
That said, it is exciting to hear that you are meeting with a respectable guy who is going through a similar situation. Connecting with people is always the goal even if it doesn't become romantic. I hope it goes well! You deserve a quality guy in your life.
