If you don't know why you shouldn't go out with him, then you should do it. It's not like you're just giving him a chance (that would be kind of a narcissistic point of view) but you're also giving yourself a chance. If you would like to meet a guy, then why not try it with a guy you already know? Perhaps it will work out, perhaps it doesn't, but you'll only know once you two get together.
I wouldn't call it really dating, that's more when you've already been on a couple of dates. This would be just a first encounter as potentially something more than friends. Trying this could change your view on him, until know you probably didn't even think anything more of him than a friend.
Some people are more outgoing and open-minded than others when it comes to this scenario. Some will immediately say okay to going out with a friend and give it a shot, while others won't do it if they didn't already have some feelings for the person because they assume that if they don't have feelings now they won't have feelings later. It depends on the kind of person you are. Personally, I would get a friend a shot.
The worst that could happen though is that you two become awkward if the date doesn't go well. But it may also get awkward if you turn him down. It depends on the type of people the two of you are and how he copes with the rejection and you cope with knowing that he likes you as more than a friend.
Having been through this three times myself, I say yes. You never want to miss an opportunity for happiness. Sometimes it's best to try and know for sure it won't work than to not try and wonder "what if?" As for "dating" that usually involves more then three dates in my mind. Just be clear to him of how you feel during the date and at the end. And if it's not working at any point make sure you don't lead him on. It may also be a good idea to pay your share of the nights activities, that way there's no confusion that it's anything more than a "chance" to see if it's possible.
