It depends on how one uses the word "date".  People have used it to mean
everything from purely platonic get-togethers to heavy romance.

I'm in an "exclusive" relationship with my girlfriend, but she still sees
various male friends platonically, and I see various female friends
platonically.  Neither of us would want to cut off those friendships.
