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.

Technically a date can be defined as a previously planned occasion to meet to engage in a mutually agreed-upon activity, where a drink or two shall be had, and lots of laughs at a hockey game with two really awesome people.

An absolute waste of time. The early stages of a inevitiblly-doomed relationship where two insecure people waste their time by puting on a fake act for the intent of impressing someone you don't like very much or not compatible with. It often ends in an ugly manner when you meet someone else you like better.
I don't do it because I don't like the headache it causes. I just want to meet a girl and court her until we are married. Dating is an absolute waste of time for me.

Dangling your highly elaborately decorated, and sometimes scented, rod into the sea, in the hope of catching a date (of the dried prune variety or otherwise)

Her friend to her: "So are you guys dating now or what?"
Her: "Well, we've seen each other a couple of times and he stuck his finger in my mouth, so I guess we are."
