When friends go out, everyone pays for themselves. It is not a date.
if you say so.

Or, if you work with a guy and he is your friend. You get something to eat after work. He tells you he is waiting for his check and is low on green ones. He asks you to pay this time. You go ahead and pay for your meals. That is probably not a date just because one of you paid. But, if you are interested in that guy and you want to think of it as a date, you can. But if he is not interested in you that way, he may say the opposite. That, it is not a date. You were just getting something to eat after work.

This is the same issue I face. I have a lot of guy friends so naturally I don't label every outing as a date. Apparently, that's not how most guys view it nowadays.

My ex boyfriend used to say that dinner means date which in turn means sex. And I do come across numerous people who judged whether they are seriously dating by date 5, 6.

Tell your ex boyfriend he is describing prostitution, not dating.

I've gone out a lot - but have had only two or three "dates".
Even if the day ends in sex, it's still just going out.

My BF and I go on "dates" all of the time. Pretty much anytime we make plans to do something out of the house, we consider it a date. Before we lived together, we were "dating." I have lunch dates with female friends. If I go out with the guys from work for happy hour, it is not a date, it is happy hour, regardless of who pays.
