pseudodating 

A pseudodate is a planned event that occurs between strictly two people when at least one person thinks they may be into the other.

One doesn't have to pay for everything on a pseudodate, but if picking up the tab can be pulled off then it could mean real dates lie in one's future.

Also, pseudodating other people at the same time is always a good thing.

Pseudofact 

A pseudofact is a piece of information that, despite being completely false, is far more interesting than the equivalent correct information. Because pseudofacts are more interesting, they are more likely to get repeated. This results in people who believe them because it's what their friends and family has always told them. This belief is often strong enough to ward off solid evidence of the contrary.
