During the next few days, we’ll be introducing an interactive feature on this site called “Date / Non-Date / Not-A-Date?!” It’ll give us all a chance to share our confusing and ambiguous “Was I just on a date or not?” stories and (since it’s always easier to be objective about other people’s love lives) to vote on others’ experiences. Wondering if you were just on a date or not? Now you can ask a bunch of strangers to tell you.

So you probably know what a Date is. And a Not-A-Date is…not a date. Plain and simple. Friends forever! But what exactly is a Non-Date?

I’m glad you asked! We should grab coffee this week and talk about it.

(HINT: I just invited you on a Non-Date)

Non-Date (n.)
An ambiguous interaction, sometimes face-to-face and sometimes involving technology, that is not explicitly romantic but does not feel entirely platonic either.

In the next few blog postings, we’ll provide snapshots of the various types of Non-Dates that are filling our schedules – Group-Non-Dates, E-Non-Dates, Surprise-Non-Dates, etc. If they look familiar to you, well…they’re all true stories!

Okay, first up will be…THE NETWORKING-NON-DATE. Ring a bell yet?
