What does date mean? Dating is no more than an interrogation that goes deeper than any interview with any job (including the RCMP and Government positions) and Im sick of people reading too much into the 'First Date'.
Who cares what its called? Ok your meeting for the first time, and no matter how you rationalize it in your brain, if one of you doesnt like what they see or hates your attitude or pretty much anything about you, you'll crash and burn faster than K-Fed at his concerts.
So why dont we start using the word 'date' in its true form, since dating was originally implied that you weren't too serious about the person in the first place.
For me date is a big word because I would want every date to be special, whether it be a first date with a girl I barely knew or with a girlfriend that I've dated for years, even if it's a casual date.
