Species were changed to protect the innocent. Certain events are exaggerated (in reality a mutual female friend had to tell me it was a date.)
How was I supposed to know that in some wacky alterna-world 'dinner' and 'movies' meant a 'date'? I am completely blameless.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
Actually, I've never actually missed the "Hmm... a movie... maybe there's some social relevance here" connection, but I have had a long dinner at a plausibly-romantic restaurant chosen by an entirely-acceptably-attractive-and-personable female colleague, only to have a mutual friend ask me afterwards why I didn't like her. Didn't like her? What do you mean I didn't like her? Of course I liked her. It was a great dinner, and we talked about lots of interesting stuff. What? She didn't just want to talk about work stuff? And she couldn't understand why I just kept on turning the conversation back to work stuff every time she brought up something more personal? Oh. Let me think back... well, there was that one time when she said... and I said... and then there was that other time when she said... Wait. I was on a date. What could have been a good date. And I had no idea.
