semi-date

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".

speed 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 GBP£20. 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.

I went on a speed date and nobody likes me.

deadend friend

A friend that over the years you have become attached to for unknown reasons. It is usually someone you have invested a lot of time and money in, all in good fun, for a while. They always let you down but you can't seem to stop hanging with them or helping them. They are typically low lifers who take what they can get from anyone and leave everyone thinking they're a good friend, until they're gone.

"i thought debbie was gonna be there for me, turns out she's just my deadend friend."
"why bother go pick debbie up for the party? she's just a deadend friend."

Date Rip

an expensive date that leads nowhere

Leon: hey how did your date go with that girl you met on facebook?

Peter: Holy crap dude, complete date rip!! She gets nailed on 3 mojitos, orders the seafood platter, bitched about all her cheap friends, doesn't even offer to pay when the bill comes, and then when I take her home she blows me a kiss and says 'call me'.
