    Depends, what did you do on first date?
    Lift weights?

    Drank coffee.

    You call THAT a "date"? Lame
    Did he buy your coffee?

    Yes, he did. :)

    I have been asked but I declined. It is too soon to do exercise dates.

    If you do end up going, it'll probably go like this...

    You: Yah, ok let's just do a quick 5 miles?
    Him: sounds great, I run all the time

    It is very bizarre to invite someone to an activity like this. I need to know you more before I can spend that kind of time with you.

    Did you happen to mention on the first date that you used to be a runner back in the day?

    Yes, I did.

    Bingo. He figured he had a sure thing you'd be interested in doing.

    If I were you I wouldn't do a running date - but only because it sounds like you've not rebuilt enough base. I figure it wouldn't be enjoyable for you and you'd have a decent risk of injuring yourself from overdoing it. I'm assuming the date would be a decent length so you'd be running a fair distance.

    If it were me on the other hand, I'd go. But then, I figure if the way either of us looks and acts while running is a turn-off, then we're not going to last past the self-conscious trying-to-please phase anyway.

    This thread appears in its various guises and incarnations every few months. There's never any follow up.

    That's probably not a good sign.

    I once met a guy on a website and he wanted to go on a hike for a date. He said it would just be him and me but I had a funny feeling about it so I told a friend.

    The day for the date arrived and the guy brought another guy with him without telling me. So I went back to my car, called a friend (who didn't live far), and sure enough the two guys became upset and snobbish and randomly deserted the hike idea.

    Be very careful.
