This reminds me of an conversation I was having with a good female friend of
mine.  We were sitting in my dorm room talking, and I was telling her that I
had not gone out on any dates lately.  It so happened that I had gone to the
movies with her within the past couple of weeks.  She asked me, "Don't you
include going out with me as dates?"  I said, "Well, I guess so."  In some ways,
when two people get together, no matter what sex they are, it's a date (isn't
date supposed to be a synonym for an appointment?).  I never considered any of
our dates as romantic dates though, because it was just two friends getting
together.
