Hi Gabe!

Mho on the date, I say go for it. But, I wouldn't suggest giving her too many ideas of where you are emotionally on the first date. The venus mind tends to want to take care of the other person and if you open up in this way, she might think you're looking for some sort of R w/her. (I think Michelle (or Harley) refers to this regarding how EA's start)

Be yourself and just enjoy the convo and food.
