MODERATORS
One of the cornerstones of a good "romantic" relationship is friendship. I personally don't believe a relationship can survive without it. My wife is many things to me, one of which is my best friend.
Building friendships is a process that takes time and can't be forced. So don't put too much pressure on one evening. Don't worry about where you're going to be with this person in a week or a month. You have no way of knowing that. Dates are just opportunities for you both to get to know each other, share experiences that you enjoy and just have fun in general.
Even "normal" people don't feel physical attraction constantly. My wife still loves me even when I'm not particularly sexy and vice versa. Besides, real beauty is more than skin deep.
You'll need to have an open, honest discussion about expectations if you ultimately want to keep seeing each other but that's a conversation for another day. This time, just try to relax and have fun.
