John Stamos is as smitten with Amy Poehler as everyone else.
A month after Poehler mentioned to Howard Stern that she and Stamos once went on what she thought might have been a date, Stamos has confirmed that he considered it a romantic outing.
"We're really good friends," Stamos, 51, told Extra. "I guess [Amy] didn't know it was a date. I asked her out on a date… and we had a really nice time. Then I hear she thought it wasn't a date. It was a date in my eyes."
Poehler, 43, doesn't usually spill about her personal life. But Howard Stern got her to dish about the "maybe date" with Stamos that happened after her September 2012 split with her husband of nine years, Will Arnett.
"It was new and weird," the Parks and Recreation star said of dating at the time. "I hadn't dated when there was texting. I got married in 2003 and all of a sudden I'm like, 'Oh, right now you text somebody.' That was new. There were times when I was out with guys and I was like, 'Oh, I think I might be on a date, but I don't know," she revealed. "I remember I was at dinner with John Stamos. I think if you just are around him you are… handsome men are really something else. First of all, they're so handsome. And John is…"
Stern cut in with, "Ridiculously handsome?"
"I was at a restaurant," Poehler continued. "We were having dinner and I was like, 'Oh, maybe this is a date!' But I didn't know. But I kinda blew it. I can't believe I'm telling this story, but it's Howard Stern, so there you go. We worked on a movie [2014's They Came Together]. He did a little bit in a movie that I did and a bunch of us hung out. And then later on he's like, 'Let's go get dinner.' And it was fine," the Saturday Night Live alum said. "I remember thinking like, 'Oh, s–t. Like, if this is really a date…' I think I was wearing a Leslie Knope top. I think I was wearing a shirt from work. I wasn't foxy."
Romance did not blossom for Poehler and the former Full House star, and she went on to begin dating comedian Nick Kroll in the spring of 2013.

Stamos, however, is still single, unlike his recently wed friend and former fellow ladies' man George Clooney.
"I wasn't sure [if he'd get married again]," Stamos said. "He always liked being a bachelor… I guess there's only a few of us on the chopping block now."
