What is a date?

What is the definition of a date? It’s very confusing sometimes… are ou just good mates OR is there a little something else there. Obviously if you have expressed an attraction in that person it’s clearly a date… but when you haven’t and you suddenly find yourself having a drink with someone you kind’a like, what is it?

Well, a date can be classified as any length of time you and another share together getting to know each other with the intention of a potential romantic connection. It may not happen of course, but you are ‘on a date’ if you both accept that you are spending time together with the intention of a potential match.

So, if you say that ‘you are dating’ someone it means that you and your ‘date’ have both accepted that you like each other and are interested in more than just friendship.

It’s also very different to ‘hooking up’ which is a more relaxed affair without pressure to test each other’s levels of commitment.

Now lets put the subject to bed!
