A strange place in which a friendship has developed into something more than a friendship yet nothing physical has actually happened. Discussion about this new level of relationship between the couple involved may or may not take place. It is also likely that mutual friends will notice a new intensity in their friendship. It is especially common amongst lesbians where the line between friendship and dating can become blurred.
βWe were on the phone for 5 hours last nightβ¦β
βYou are totally emotionally dating her!β

An instance where two individuals are out on a date and sit on the same side of the table/booth thinking that it is romantic when it in fact is and looks ridiculously stupid.
*happens almost exclusively in Pittsbugh, PA
Person 1: "hey look at those two jagoffs over there on a Pittsburgh date!"
Person 2: "Hahahaha how fucking stupid, sitting on the same side...she must be giving him a handjob!"
Activities, both general and specific, that guys normally wouldn't engage in with a group of their guy friends and often times even female friends with whom they have no romantic interest in. Outside the context of dating a girl, participation in dating activities often lowers a man's masculine status among his peers. Thus they are to be avoided when not dating. Dating activities are acceptable when a guy is dating because he really has no interest in the actual activity, but his interest is in the girl and he's just participating to spend some time with her.
Sample of Dating Activities:
Chick flicks (aka dating movies when datiing)
The Notebook (movie)
Dancing (when there's no girl involved unless you are a professional dancer or performer), especially so called formals.
Shopping as a hobby or recreational activity
Dining at EXPENSIVE restaurants especially ones where the food isn't that great, but you're really just paying for the atmosphere and environment.
"Walks in the park"
Yo, Man, what are you doing this weekend?
I'm going to go dancing.
With who?
Courtney.
She's a fox! Alright then, have fun with your weekend dating activity.
A baiting practice first employed by virologists in the late 1950s, in which they used the fruit of date palm tree to attract and capture fruit bats for testing.
Virologists had long suspected that fruit bats could be the carriers of certain types of viruses that were being spread in North Africa.
Capturing the fruit bats initially proved difficult, until a local Egyptian herder suggested using dates laid on fine netting spread on the ground. Date baiting traps continued to prove to be an effective method of capturing fruit bats.
Recent study of captured fruit bats revealed that they were indeed a carrier of the ebola virus.
The virologists decided to date bait traps to capture the elusive North African fruit bats.

Its a type of party in which everyone must come with a date and a 750 ML bottle of hard alcohol (fifth). However, you must stay zip tied to your date until the two of you finish the entire bottle together. This usually leads to a shit show and everyone gets hammered. Its also convenient because the people throwing the party don't need to buy alcohol other than for themselves. Invented at Santa Clara University.
Joe: Hey are you going to date and a fifth with Katie?
Frank: Hell no, she barely drinks. I'm not trying to black out.

A phrase coined by Teresa Strasser of the Adam Carolla Show on Free FM which refers to social outings that would normally be considered dates, but where one of the two people involved seems completely oblivious to the concept of dating. This is generally characterized by a lack of interest in conversation or flirting, an aimless absence of direction or goals for the evening, and possibly an uncomfortable revelation that the event was never intended to be date. This can be blamed on the modern tendency for self-absorption and a narcissistic belief that you shouldn't have to put forth any effort to be interesting or even pleasant.
I ended up going on a vague date with Jim. We went and saw a stupid buddy comedy and ate at Starbucks, but he split when he got a phone call from a friend to play basketball.
I don't even know if the date I was on with Nancy was a date, because she kept talking to me about how great it was to be single. I think it was some weird vague date.
