I'm really no one to respond on relationship advice, but here goes anyway, since I can never keep my mouth shut.
1) 6 years is nothing--ignore that.
2) Seems like there would be LOTS of things to do for a casual first date in the area. Good first date choices to me are where you DO something--like a museum or amusement park. If you just go to a restaurant you have to make awkward small talk about each other all the time. Drinking can be a problem, too, if you're nervous, don't know each others' tolerances, or that's all you have to focus on. So do something that gives you something else to focus on. Something other than a movie; because when you see a movie y ou get no chance to talk at all.
