What to do what to do ...
I'm no Ann Landers BUT this is what I would do.
To the best of my knowledge MRSA is not a reportable "disease" (it's from being a disease in the true meaning of the word but I think you know what I'm trying to get at here). It's not like have AIDS or HIV where you are obligated by law to tell your partner (again please don't think I'm implying you are going to be "getting freaky" with this guy on the first date ... hmmm the more I type the more I seem to be getting myself in trouble here ... lol ... oh my !!)
You are not under any legal obligation to tell him that you have MRSA; and frankly since this is your first date I wouldn't mention it all tonight (after all you don't want to scare the poor guy off by telling him you have something that he likely has never heard of and then spend the rest of the evening telling him what it's all about instead of getting to know each other and having a nice evening out ... right?)
In any case go out and have fun ... enjoy yourself ... LIVE LIFE !!
Dee (((hugs)))
