Jeph said he was doing a Yelling Bird, so not Monday.
Another day of speculation and uncertainty! Can we take it any more?!
(Yes.)

Yes, I was referring to that. I mean, imagine you had a young teacher in high school. You were 15, he/she was maybe 20, just became teacher. Hell, whatever, make him/her older in your head if you like. 10 years later you two meet again and hit it off. You've been an adult for a while now and that professional relationship was half your life ago. I don't see anything creepy in such a situation.
Besides that, there's also the already mentioned possibility that station didn't mean this as a romantic date, but as a "I haven't seen my best friend in ages, tell me everything that happened" date.
Redball:
Momo has a libido. Station gets drunk, whatever that is to an AI, with an attractive woman and sets up a seemingly romantic encounter with another. I think Hanners knew what Station was setting up and deftly extricated herself.
May all our questions and speculations be answered, sooner than later.

Add in the unknown of how quickly AI's develop/age too. Station could be younger than Hannelore.
In fact, it's implied he is!
Hanners named Station, yes? during her "name everything what it is/does" stage? (can someone back me up on that?)
Why would a (presumably) young Hanners name the AI controlling the space station? If he had existed prior to her birth he would have his own name already. (And yet everyone calls the AI "Station" - not only Hanners. It seems to be his actual name)
So surely for the AI to have been named by Hanners, he must have been "born" when she was already old enough to understand and articulate a name for him?
Doesn't this rather turn things on their head? If Hannelore is older than station, couldn't you interpret her telling Station off about the fiasco with Lt. Potter as more of a bossy older sister scenario?
Carl-E:
That is an excellent interpretation of Station's apology!
