When two people embark on an activity together that could be construed as a date, such as bowling, cinema, or even coffee.
Whether there is interest or not, this action shall be observed as a fake date due to the one to one nature. This could be done deliberately by two people interested in each other who aren't classing it as a date for whatever reason (example a), or accidentally by two friends or acquaintances attempting to merely enjoy each other's company (example b).
Example A -
Josh: You fancy going out for a coffee?
Georgia: I like you but I just broke up with my boyfriend, I don't want to date again straight away.
Josh: Well then let's just be fake dating?
Example B -
Brendon: You wanna go to the cinema later dude?
Charlie: But won't it look a bit weird, like we're dating or something?
Brendon: Nah everyone knows we'd be fake dating
