I like Ma's idea. LOL.
On a serious note, I really think you should go out and do something with him. It doesn't have to be an official "date" or anything, but if you two did go out to eat somewhere, and he was a gentleman he would at least pay for your meal, even if you just went to McDonald's! Just because you go out with someone doesn't mean that you're automatically required to date them. I just think it would be fun to go grab something to eat, or a coffee, then share some hunting stories, share interests, etc,. I mean really, what could it hurt?
Who knows, perhaps you two will hit it off real well..... exchange phone numbers and chat on the phone from time to time, perhaps even just as friends! Never know, it could end up as being more! Take a chance and go for it!
