date bait

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.

Date and a fifth

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.

Date Sweater

The type of sweater a guy puts on when he's trying to impress the chick he's on a date with. It's the only nice piece of clothing he owns and you'll see him wearing it in pretty much every picture taken of him on a date.

Can also be a useful tool when you're trying to confirm if two people are dating.

Sally: "Jenny, I told Tony I just want to be friends, but he keeps wearing this nice sweater when he comes over, even if it's just to watch TV."

Jenny: "Oh yeah, he's definitely interested. That's his date sweater. But I wouldn't date him, Sally...he's a total meathead."

Tony: "Brahhhhhh!!!"

Date Digger

A woman who in many cases involving internet dating sites will solicit invitations from men for a formal dinner date (and expect the man to pay 100% of the cost) with no intention of actually dating the man or getting involved in a relationship. These ladies use this scenario for their own purpose of entertainment and a free meal and at the end of such date the “date digger” usually will tell the man that they are not interested or there was no chemistry. Protection from this sort of mal-treatment by unscrupulous women is to up front ask them to a Dutch date (50/50) where each party splits the cost of the meal. This is totally acceptable as if the woman is truly interested in wanting to meet a respectful man for a potential relationship then the dinner being used as a bribe or entertainment, thus both parties are free to enjoy each other’s company by truly getting to know each. If it does not work or either party does not like the other for whatever reason then each can go their own ways not feeling taken advantage of. Most will find that the “Date Digger” will become offended, or decline the date under these circumstances, and the man should immediately move on ignoring any of her attempts to coheres him into going thru with it, these situations should be a red flag that she is not truly interested in getting to know him or being involved in a serious relationship.

Sandy a "Date Digger" joined an internet dating site and was subjected to hundreds of men asking her out for a date, she quickly became narcissistic and self-centered her ego overinflated she used these men to obtain free meals at different restaurants any night of the week from a different men with no intention of having a relationship with any of the men.
