When you date someone you trust them. It is more than just hanging out with someone who happens to be of the opposite gender. It means you like and feel a connection with someone and they do so of you. You also enjoy talking to this person more and spend more time with them. You date someone because they’re special to you and you feel a connection or a bond with that person.

a date-like activity or activities (i.e. movies, dinner) performed by a guy and a girl together, who have no interest in each other and no intent to date. These activities are performed strictly as friends, although these not-dates can be segues into the awkward phase before actual dating commences.

For other people, distinguishing between a date and a not-date is difficult, if not impossible. Thus, those who are on a not-date are often confused by other people that they are dating or vice versa.

In the base metaphor, a not-date is the equivalent of sitting in the bleachers and watching the game.
Ex. 1:

Waiter: "Sorry about that, I thought that you were on a date."
Jimmy: "No, we're friends. This is a not-date."
