Date or not?

He asked me if we "Could go have a beer soon?". I thought nothing of it...until the playful follow up emails. Hmmm. So was it a a date or not? He told me it would be his treat but I offerred to pay and we decided he would get odd rounds and I would get even. We both seemed anxious for Friday...

He picked me up from work and drove me to a little bar. It was cute. We enjoyed our beer and we ended up having 3 and he payed for them all. What happened to our deal? He said he was just teasing. We had nice conversation and it flowed easily. He is a very open person and he is really good at teasing me. He does not hold back. After our drinks we walked back to the car and he realized we had not eaten! He was tired but very persistent that we should eat. We ate at a coffee shop (only thing open) and he paid again! He took me back to my car and turned the engine off. That confused me but we had a nice conversation....he was such a gentleman...he even got out of the car when I did to say goodbye to me. It was wonderful.

To make things even better he called me the next night....it had to have been a date. I cannot wait until he gets home from his trip.
