It seems their lines had gotten crossed during the conversation. Matt wasn't asking her out to dinner, he'd just said that food could be involved. Huge difference.
Going out to dinner was far too date-like for his tastes. He didn't like to use such tactics unless he had no other choice.
"I'd say that I didn't want to share my hot wings after all." He gave her a bright grin, then. "There's a bar down the street. They have good pool tables and a few dart boards. It's not the nicest place I've ever been but their hot wings are amazing and the music is decent."
He hoped she agreed. He'd certainly enjoy spending the time with a beautiful woman at his side.
