Why you shouldn’t say meeting when you mean a date.

In English, we use meeting for business and work meetings that are usually mandatory, not for romantic “meetings.” We call those dates. If you say you have a meeting, we will think you mean a business or work meeting. Meeting is used professionally, not romantically.

In A Relationship

Date

“Date” is both a noun and a verb.

As a noun, it means a romantic activity that two people do together.

Example: My date with Peter last Friday was wonderful. I really enjoyed his company at the theater.

As a verb, it means “in a relationship with”

Example: I heard that your brother is dating a model. Is it true?

Going Out With

“Going out with” is another informal way to say “in a relationship”

Example: Did you know that Mark is going out with Andrea?
