Schrödinger's Date

Where single guy and single girl, who don't normally spend time alone together, agree to "hang out" and do something fun together for the first time, yet both carefully avoid the word "date". Whether it was in fact a date will be determined only after the fact, once they see how it goes. Until then, the event is a strange quantum superposition, simultaneously both date and non-date. This allows both parties to avoid potential embarrassment.

It could be a date or it could be just a hang out, we won't know till it's over. It's a Schrödinger's Date.

date

Two people getting together for an activity when the possibility of romance between them has been broached but not ruled out. Since the exploration of romance is the purpose of a date, merely asking someone out on a date is sufficient to broach the subject. Dates may or not continue once a couple have entered into a romantic relationship. The word "date" may be used to identify a get together between two people not romantically involved, but this usage is meant to convey irony, since such a meeting is not a date in the true sense of the word.

Yeah, Mike and I went on a date last night. He's cute, but I'm not sure if I want to get involved with him or not.

Courtesy date

A charitable second date one offers just because they slept with the other person on the first date; used to block feelings of 'being used,' not to be followed up by future dates.

Person A: I don't really like her, but I definitely slept with her the first time we went out. Do you think she'll feel used if I don't ask her out again?

Person B: Don't worry about it! Just take her on a quick courtesy date. All it takes it one chai and you've got a free pass out.

Person A: Awesome.
