Confused about a guy who wants to be "just friends". Opinions, please?

I met this guy on Yahoo Personals about 2 months ago, and we have seen each other several times and even met each other's kids. He and I have come to an agreement that we both just want to be friends because we just came out of marriages. Neither one of us really want to get into another heavy relationship right now. Here is my dilemma. He wants to be just friends, right? That was our agreement for now. Well, the other night out of the blue, he asks me out to dinner. Okay, that's fine. No problem. But the thing is that he lives in a neighboring state and had to go about 2 1/2 hours north in his state for a job. Well, on his way back from there, he claims, he set his GPS navigator thing to lead him in a direction that is off the main roads, and it led him mysteriously through my town. Well, I got on Mapquest and tried it 3 different ways and not once did it lead him through my town which in in a completely different state, although the states are right next door to each other. He lives an hour and 15 minutes from me. Why would this guy who just wants to be friends go completely out of his way to come through my town "accidentally"? Oh, yeah, and he always pays for dinner. Just friends would go Dutch, right? What do you all think? Is this "just friends" behavior or what? I'm confused. Thanks!
