I’m with you. If your program is solid then you should be alright.

Tell him ur truth
First, congratulations on getting a date. I have no clue how people meet anymore, and the apps... ugh... tangent.
When it is a blue moon and I get a date, I do let the interviewer/interviewee know that I don't drink, and I leave it at that. No need for me to talk about my past and the wreckage the first few dates.
I also don't date anyone with a substance problem, I did it and felt my new life skipping away. That doesn't mean I don't date someone who drinks. I look for my old patterns, I can sniff put my kind.
With that, have a great time, make sure he pays.

Congratulations hope to find one soon
@julia306857 I don't want to come off as a 
however you're 2 months sober.
If you're working an honest 12 step program, this is "IF" you are then my suggestion is not to do the "date" period. No offense at 2 months newly sober we're still phuqed up in the head. YOUR SOBRIETY COMES FIRST!!
Now if you're not working an honest 12 step program, then go for it. Either way tell him you're allergic to the ingredients of alcohol. You're not lying.
99.9% of newly sober people get 13th step and relapse after.
I wish you luck my friend.
