The fact that you're worrying about whether this is a date, to me, means he has date potential. What are you so scared of? I'm not even 30 but my advice is to just go and have fun. I don't think you need to make anything clear. A little blurriness is fun. He's a big boy, if you're not into him and he's into you, he'll figure it out. It's not leading him on. You're not interested, maybe he is, maybe he's not. Just worry about the issue when it comes, if it ever does. You may find yourself on your outing thinking how silly you were to even think he was misguided in the first place. Or not. Either way, it's life. Take it as it comes. Stop labeling things and they will make themselves apparent to you in due course.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
