| 1. | not-date | ||
|
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:
Ryan: "So then Claire and I went to dinner and then watched a movie at my place." Jake: "All right! So did you hit that?" Ryan: "Hell no. It was a not-date." Ex. 2: (at a restaurant) Waiter: "Okay, you're total's going to be $23.44." Jimmy: "Can you make those two separate orders?" Waiter: "Sorry about that, I thought that you were on a date." Jimmy: "No, we're friends. This is a not-date." |
