What makes a date a date?

Guest	Maybe it's my relative lack of experience in the area of relationships, but there's a question that often nags at me: What makes a date a date? At first glance, this may seem like an easy answer; but it's one that seems to elude people I ask. Take, for example, these two different, yet similar, scenarios: You notice a nice young member of the opposite sex with whom you go to school. You think it might be nice to take him/her out sometime—dinner, a movie, something along those lines. So you ask him/her to a movie. Is that a date or just a friendly outing, and why? How do you know? How do you make it clear one way or the other? You are friends with a young member of the opposite sex. You hang out with each other on a semi-regular basis. You decide to ask him/her to a movie or dinner. Is that a date or just a friendly outing, and why? How do you know? How do you make it clear one way or the other?

It is not a date if he says its just "hanging out", he must specifically tell you its date. This is what happened to me on MSN a while back: Guy: Want to go out together to see a movie during spring break? Me: sure Guy: I won't call it a date...so.. Me: sure, just hanging out? Guy: yup Then a few days later Guy: About the hanging out thing... Me: yeah? Guy: well... Me: hmm mmm? Guy: I really like you...so be my girlfriend please? Me: thinking: knew it all along Sure thing Guy:...and its a date Me: sure ^^ So you see, it's only a date if it's mentioned by its name. If it's not, assume its hanging out.
