Normally a meeting for two people to get together and see what the other person is like. In Middle School and below, the term is used as an excuse to kiss people. Commonly mistaken with young puppy love

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.

process of getting to know a potential lover in a formal artificial setting. Culture defines serries of steps in which certain topics and activities are divided into series. Ex. Americans have divided the sex act into bases. These can change for the most part kissing is first base, intercourse fourth base.
