It's a date

Why is it that the only people who use the phrase "it's a date" after you make plans are the people with whom you have an ambiguous relationship to begin with?

Seriously -- it's never the girl who's number you got, then called a few days later to go out for dinner and a movie. No. It's always that person you have that tension with, or whom you may have drunkenly kissed, but if so it was only once and awhile ago -- or maybe twice -- if you can figure out what happened during that party when someone thought shots would be a good idea, so you're really not sure.

Regardless, ladies, I've said it before and I'll say it again, we guys are way too simple to decode whether you're using a figure of speech or if you expect us to pick up the drinks.

  • When someone says "It's a date", it really means "Haha, now I can refer to this outing as a 'date' in all future correspondences including but not limited to 'C'mon, we've been on _ dates, just one kiss good night"

  • If you say "it's a date" and then ask what time he'll pick you up? It's a date. If you're meeting at the bar for dubious reasons, including but not limited to: "It'll be much easier that way", then it's not a real date.

    Unless you go home together. Then, you get to count the nudity portion of the meeting as a 'date'.

    Unless you're paying her for the nudity. Then, it's got another name.

    Aaargh! The ambiguity! No wonder all you fellows are so confused!
