A Gay date. Most commonly, a gate occurs when a single woman needs a date when attending a function like a wedding, company Christmas party, or even a school dance.
Gates, are non-threatening to the woman, and usually make great companions because there are no pre-conceived ideas of the definition of the date, make great dance partners, have good etiquette, and of course dress well.
There have been many instances when the woman becomes delusional and secretly views the gate as a real date. This is known as "trying to change the lock on the gate" and has never succeeded.

Bride to Sister: Samantha, have you found someone to bring to my wedding yet?
Samantha: Actually, yes, I have. I'm bringing my friend Bryan.
Bride: Oh, could Bryan be someone special? More than just a friend?
Samantha: No, he's just a gate. Unfortunately, he doesn't play on our team, but he looks good and is fun to hang with. Plus it will prevent the family from getting their hopes up about me being the next to walk down the aisle in a white dress.

Fun, funny, short-tempered, immature, wise, cheery, always smiling, obnoxious but sweet, and loud. Gates(s) is a particular boy/girl whom always seems to be smiling, and making others laugh for the fun of it. Gates is an out going person who will attempt anything and everything, no matter what it is. They're strong willed and strong minded, nothing ever brings this person down. Gates(s) hate rules, and always try to find a way to find a void in them. A Gates is also someone who will become your best friend if you get past their obnoxious, odd ways. Gates has a tough way in life, but they will do their best to see the brighter side of everything. Befriending this kind of person would be the best decision in your life, because no matter how old you are, where you'll be in life, Gates will always be the person you can rely on the most. If you already have a Gates in your life, consider yourself to be incredibly lucky!
Girl 1: Look, Nick and that Gates are jabbering away again!
Girl2: Ugh, they always seem to be the ones who make all the noise, especially that Gates.
