[ He'd have preferred a yes or no, not something that requires further explanation and confirmation. ]
I clearly don't know you. And I don't think you know me. Getting to know each other better might prevent blowups from happening in the future.

And I like art.

No, you don't.
But the problem is what this sounds a lot like you're asking me out on a date.
[Might as well spell it out.]

I see.
I'm not asking you on a date. If you're worried my interest is romantic then
[ the impulse to say 'don't flatter yourself' rears its ugly head, but that's counterproductive. he has no idea how to navigate this conversation. ]

Good.
Because otherwise we'd have to have a very different conversation.
[Like, "I've had some weird romantic beginnings, but that would be a stretch."]
Can we try something more casual? Less museum, more artwalk? There are a few around the city.
