A thought; a question. I may be a bit old fashioned, or out of it, but yrs ago, when one made an advance plan to meet someone for dinner, movie etc, that was considered a date. Or was it? Maybe I am splitting hairs, but lately some of my friends seem to think that a quick connect on the internet, and hrs or minutes later out with, or in bed with, is considered a date. Is it? I thought it was a hookup. Or a one night stand. Or maybe a trick. Yrs ago, when one would drag one home from the bar, it was considered a trick, or a one-night stand. So if you drag someone home from the internet, is that considered the same thing? Or is it considered a date, as some of my friends state?

I guess I may be a romantic, but my idea of a date, was a planned outing, maybe dinner,or a movie; a chance to get to know the person. And if things go well, there might be more in store. Or as we kiddingly used to say, "dinner, a movie and a blow job"; which is a date, one-night stand, hookup?????? OY!

So how do we describe these terms? There seems to be a lot of overlapping grey areas.....
