Summary
Calling it a date would be presumptuous, but it would also be incorrect. You never make it inside. This doesn't deter Ethan from inviting you to share his bed with him, though, never mind that you still can't figure out where he places you in his life.
As it turns out, he already knows precisely where to put you.

Summary
Meeting Ethan at a bar is simply impossible. To begin with, you met him day one at your current job, and have spent the last year working side by side with him to keep the team on task. In addition to being a great team lead, Ethan is also a fantastic point of conversation. Everyone seems to have a concern or opinion about him, despite how much he wants to fade into the background. It is utterly impossible to not notice the guy.
So, you don't meet Ethan at a bar. You meet his attempt at Richard Gere.

Summary
Audacity might be Ethan's middle name, because there you are, making dinner for him, when he tells you something that could have been conveyed to you sooner than the week of Christmas.
Not that it matters. You still end up taking the trip with him, unlabeled relationship and all.
