Attractive appointment with warm fruit (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hot date

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'attractive appointment' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'with warm fruit' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'warm' becomes 'hot' (synonyms).
'fruit' becomes 'date' (date is a kind of fruit).
'hot'+'date' is 'HOT DATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hot date that I've seen is " Meeting for romance".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
