A semi-date is an encounter between members of the opposite sex or of the same sex, whereby at least one of the aforementioned members is attracted to the other and hopes that the friendship becomes something more. It is referred to as a "semi-date" rather than a "date" because is has not been arranged according to the terms of a traditional "date", but rather happens out of the blue or is an instance of "hanging out as friends", during which the two of you spend time alone together.
I happened to go and see a play and bumped into this guy I knew there, whom I'm attracted to. Afterwards I suggested we go for a drink in a nearby bar, and as he didn't have enough cash on him, I paid for his drink. It wasn't a pre-arranged date, but we were alone, and I do have romantic feelings for him. You could say I paid his way in our "semi-date".

An organised social event to facilitate meeting new people, usually for hetrosexuals wishing to meet new potential partners.
Equal numbers of both sexes attend, usually paying a gratuity of around GBPยฃ20. Each spends about three minutes talking to each member of the oppposite sex - the social interaction that takes place therein is referred to as a 'speed date'.
At the end of the evening everyone marks on a card who they would like to date again and who they wouldn't. The organisers then swap contact information between matches - usually an email address or mobile phone number.
Speed dating apparently started in New York, and was popularised by TV show 'Sex In The City'. It is now most popular amongst professionals in their mid 20's and 30's.
