It shouldn't be a date, but rather just 2 people getting to know each other. Date means too much pressure and expectations. I'd rather do sth of spontaneous nature which has no name or boundaries.
Why’s calling it a date put pressure on it?
I wouldn’t hang out with a lady if it’s not a date. If it’s a date I know where I stand she’s interested in me romantically, if it’s not I’m going be anxious whole time and worried about what I should be doing.
The dates i went on we’re just doing activities or talking and walkthrough a park.
I could see a grand fancy restaurant dinner date being pressure. Date can be anything it’s just a meeting of two people with romantic interests between them. If it was friend interest to be a meet up. Also it was never called a date but it what is was. I mean I didn’t ask them on a date. I’d ask them if they want to go meet at the park. Both knew it was a a date but never called. It’s just the situation that brings two people together that makes it a date or meet up. I’d meet them on dating sites so it was romantic interest.
