Activities, both general and specific, that guys normally wouldn't engage in with a group of their guy friends and often times even female friends with whom they have no romantic interest in. Outside the context of dating a girl, participation in dating activities often lowers a man's masculine status among his peers. Thus they are to be avoided when not dating. Dating activities are acceptable when a guy is dating because he really has no interest in the actual activity, but his interest is in the girl and he's just participating to spend some time with her.
Sample of Dating Activities:
Chick flicks (aka dating movies when datiing)
The Notebook (movie)
Dancing (when there's no girl involved unless you are a professional dancer or performer), especially so called formals.
Shopping as a hobby or recreational activity
Dining at EXPENSIVE restaurants especially ones where the food isn't that great, but you're really just paying for the atmosphere and environment.
"Walks in the park"
When you and your homies are ready for a night out and you're getting everyone fired up. Can be used in other scenarios where pushing is simply not an option, so you must resort to smacking. Activation takes power and represents the start of something new, it is truly a multi-faceted word with many interpretation which revolve around the mantra of just doing it. The full send for anyone but frat boys.
Johnny: Y'all ready for tonight? Hey Andy, you comin' or what?
Andy: Oh yeah, just planning to meet up with Annika at my hotel afterwards.

Andy: Smack to activate my g.
Bars: Smack to activate, tear you down with rap accolades, a fact for sake, a rap factory full of guns and blades...
