My opinion is its whatever you make of it. If you set it up as a date such as dinner, movies, hotel lol jk but seriously if its a short coffee or drink its more of a meet and greet. before meeting face to face it should be discussed by both of you what both of your POV are so you are both on the same page. Good luck have fun

This.
I have met with some that it was like a date, dinner and all. The other night it was just a meeting randomly, and definitely not a date - I told him by text where I was picking up dinner for my lunch hour while at work, and he showed up to introduce himself. Again, it depends on the situation.
If you're meeting from a dating site (hence the name), then yes. Even if you're just going for coffee, it's still a date, and you're not obligated to go on a second date either after that.
Otherwise, no, unless you two have made it clear in some other way.
I consider it just a meeting but then again I just meet very casually (either for a soda or just to walk around the mall). Now if we meet next time that's a date but very few online meetings went that far.
I find it kind of strange to think of meeting someone online for the first time a real date. I consider it like the first time meeting them. Pre computers, we only dated (not including set ups) people we already met. I am a poor judge of determining whether or not I'd like someone based on their picture and profile. I'm person is often different.

The OP is worded funny. I think the poll reflects the correct question.

How much more delusional can a person get then that?
If you meet someone online, and go to meet them in person for the first time, would you consider it a date?
