Dear Ann Landers
I'm not going to mention any names, but there's a girl living in my house that is doing a picnic tonight (home-made orange chicken--VERY yummy!) followed by the musical Guys & Dolls. She's going with a BOY and when I mentioned that she should have fun on her date she rebuked me (Buff would pronounce that as "re-bi-'you-ked") saying "it's not a date b/c they're splitting the costs 50/50. A date is only when the guy plans it and pays for it, end of story."
If you're doing two events like these with the same guy--that she's recently been hanging out with a lot--is that not considered a date? Am I in the wrong by thinking this is actually a date? Please let me know...
Sincerely,
One who thought he was right but isn't right for thinking he's right because the person who's always right said she's right

Yes, I too would confirm your suspicions that the discussed event was a date. 2 people male and female having having dinner and a show (especially a fancy-shmancy show) qualifies as a date.
