[ finn is being silly. it's the truth. he's still working his way from anxious point A to confident point B in the timeline. he is preparing to body block poe from throwing down with his dad if he has to.
it's gonna be anticlimactic.
it also hasn't occurred to finn yet that he'll get to snoop around poe's old room and ask him about the stuff on his desk or whatever. he got to the junky yard ships and they were already so full of flavor. ]
Yes, I can handle a dinner. [ he really is giving this every ounce of meet-the-boyfriend's-parents energy that he can muster. dumb. he gives himself a mental peptalk.
the mental peptalk is really only him telling himself things like "don't be a baby" or "get that shit on a leash already" (to paraphrase). he's put up with worse than dinner with someone poe swears by being really great. he's buddies with rose now, and she hated his guts for 90% of tlj while they were crammed into shuttles together. anything is possible.
and maybe most importantly, he doesn't want poe to think he's being a baby. he will not find the end of the patience line on this specific occasion. he can and he will handle a dinner. ]
Come on.
[ when in doubt, start walking before you can psych yourself out of it. which might be the philosophy behind every choice ever made in star wars canon. ]
