So, what does a 'date' mean to you then? It's not simply a friendly outing, it's time spent with someone of the opposite gender (or same, if you're homosexual) that has potential of a romantic or sexual nature. I won't say you HAVE to be sexually attracted to your date, but if there isn't SOME sort of physical or romantic interest on your part, then you're NOT on a date, you're just having dinner with some person.
Physical, sexual, romantic ... it's all they same, really. "Romance" is just a fancy word for
"Let's deny our physical desires as long as possible, and focus on poetry, artistry, etiquette, and other similar activities until we finally consummate our relationship with an earth-shaking marathon session of intense coital activity ... and then maybe get married." Thus, "dating" is just another "romantic" activity.
"Getting Physical" is just a euphemism for the old "Booma-Booma-Ya-Ya!"
If really you are interested in a person as "Just a Friend", then either you are already in a committed sex-based relationship, or you've lost all interest in sex (at least with that person).
