WOW! I know dinner can be an intimidating prospect. It has been for me as I haven't had the chance to "date" much... usually internet relationships, I live in a small town, everyone seems to be seeing someone, etc. Not that that stops everyone from still dating but I digress... It can be fearful to sit down and give someone the chance to get to know you, what will they think, what if .. how about that... what should I... other little questions like that might come to mind.

BUT, having said that. Why not? You do only live once and it's better to live without regrets. You wouldn't be "leading him on." If you feel the need to and you have an empty space in the conversation, tell him you're just off this relationship and how you feel.

That being said you've either said yes and gone or turned him down.. Which is it? How did it go?! *chews his fingernails in rapt curiousity.*
