"Low key"---when a relationship is brand-new means, "whatever will allow us the quickest access to the bed"--ie) activities such as "staying in" and "renting a movie".
"Low-key" ,once you have been dating for awhile, is different--by that time, the relationship is established, intimacy is genuine--- and it's nice to stay in with your honey and cuddle on the couch . But in my experience, when a guy is really interested , he makes an EFFORT. Meaning, suggesting a nice place to take you, making sure he looks and smells great, and picking you up.
I would take charge of the date and tell him where you would like to go--keep it "low-key" as in going out to a movie, or having dinner someplace casual and inexpensive. Or go for coffee---it is just as easy to get to know someone sitting across them at a cafe as it is on your couch. Easier, since it won't dissolve into a makeout session, which always seems to happen whenever a cute boy is on my couch!
He needs to make an effort here--otherwise, if he just wants to hang out on your couch--yeah, he's hoping to get some ASAP.
