Agree! I hadn't gone back and re-read the words used for that choice after doing the next part of the game.
I've redone it to give clarity that accepting dinner, when not in a relationship, is just dinner with a friend not a date. Given an option to back away from a relationship but still accept dinner if you'd started down that path but didn't want it. Lastly added some wording to more clearly hint that trashing that friendship might have consequences.
This will all come out as patch 1.2.4 shortly.
