do both parties have to clearly say, let's go out on a date tonight...
what has to be established....
of course this question is in early stages of a 'relationship'..
 
A date can be any of a million things i dont think there is any real written ins tone definition/attribute to make one thing a date.
 
in my books, a "date" is where a guy takes out a girl or vice versus. that means, pay for the other person. do various things. but... things that dont evolve around money can still be dates.... just depends on what you are doing.
 
When a guy or gal asks someone out. Usually the person doing the asking picks the place they go and pays.

Then they have wild sex... (Just kidding)

You make it sound like you're going to court or something 😉
 
Traditionally, a date is when a guy takes out a girl on his dime.
Although as long as there is mutual interest, you can go dutch and it can still qualifiy as a date. It seems to me that younger people consider a date to be a qualifier of an event that two people endure. If it was good and the girl likes the guy, she can call it a date, if she doesn;t like him or isn;t sure, then they 'just went out'.

Me? I still go traditional. Its got style and class 🙂
 
from where im from there are like steps i guess. dating, seeing, then going.

what the hell is seeing.

some ppl say that its a process where your testing it out but you can still fool around with others.
 
Good timing on this thread.

I've been out with girls, only to later learn that they thought it was a date. And then, I've gone out, and I thought it was a date and they didn't.

For example, very recently, I spent two consecutive nights with a girl who I've known for 4 months (after she broke up with her boyfriend and clearly told me that she wanted to go out with me).

I paid for everything on both nights. We ended up kissing both nigths.

Yet she told my friend that I still have to ask her out, which I did on Valentine's Day while we were in my bed 🙂

My date-test:
1. Did you pay?
2. How did the night end?
3. Were you both single at the time?
 
A date is any activity that you and your love-interest go to, to have fun of course, with the main objective of the two people or more [can be a double date or something] getting to know each other more.

Let's put it this way, if she likes you and you ask her for her phone number in the beginning and gives it to you, that's the best sign she is interested in you. If a girl likes you mutually as much as you like her, she'll be sort of thinking the way you're thinking; with you always on their mind as well 😉. Also, if you want to make it an official date, just ask her! If she likes you she'll respond with "sure let's go" or something similar to that, if she denies you or replies with a "date? what do you mean by that?" or something similar to that response, then you know that she's clearly not as interested as you expected. Look for signs 🙂

GUYS! Don't ever land in the friend zone right off the bat if you're interested in a girl. Be yourself. If you're interested in becoming b/f material, don't hesitate to ask her out; otherwise, you're going to be her best guy girlfriend instead. Then obviously you'll regret it.

I second that...


i dunno i just tend to go for the 'lets go out' 'do something' approach and if its between two interested parties then whatever its a date... this is a weak approach i guess and you CAN go out with friends that are girls (see quote) but i guess its usually pretty obvious when 2 ppl like eachother 😉

I guess I won the lottery then.

The girl that I'm currently dating was my best friend for 4 months before she broke up with her boyfriend of 2 years, and then she told me to ask her out. It turned out that I wasn't the only one who had a crush during that 4 months....
 
two people going out to do something together....


that is the basic definition of a date.. some are friendly, some are more than friendly and some are not so friendly.

Well, different people think there are different levels to dating... I subscribe to the multiple levels of relationships...

going out, dating, seeing each other, "going steady" (gosh, people still use that!), engaged... etc.etc.. all different.
 
Hmmm.. you all are so busy trying to label it and define it... makes one wonder how much that leaves left over to simply enjoy the experience ?


not every good thing has a name and somew of the best feelings/times in this life defy description 😉

You honestly don't realize how much people (single guys, me) analyze stuff like this. It's beyond our control.
