because one genereally refers to a single day of their life.. thus the term date!! and when this goes on for a prolonged period its called dating!! anywyz, days signify something else too.. so maybe date comes into the picture to save the day!!
Lets say you are going to go on a 'week' with someone,,and after the first day of that 'week', you feel like you don't want to see that person again (more likely for the other person to not want to see you again :P) Well, then wouldn't it be embarrassing because you assumed that you might be going out more than once?? Hence the term 'date'...because its safe. You can fix a date and go out, and then you can forget about that person the next day (if you choose to of course).
Hehhehe....one question with so many cheeky answers too..
I think it is called 'date' since it is a significant period for both-boy and gal,especially if it is for the very first time.Thus,whether it will work out or not,the 'date' would be remembered forever!..just like the first kiss:)
firstly it is date and not a day ... so the comparision with week, month, year doesnt come into picture :) and now why the term "date" ... hmmmm .... I think coz of the below aspects that link to "dating" ...
candi-date - prospect an haan :) intimi-date - not on the first day I guess; but once it progresses, am sure some ppl wud love to :) cor-date - heart it is after all :) denu-date - for few this might be the only purpose ... dilapi-date - some allow themselves to fall into ruins because of this ... eluci-date - hmmm ... many wud spend a lot of time just giving clarifications :) se-date - now this is how I wud want my date to go :) inun-date - with gifts ... invali-date - each others acts/doings ... you shud have not done this .. or maybe reacted like this :) man-date - do i need to say anything here ?? :) mithri-date - antidote to poison is what this means ... retar-date - maybe yes :)
and finally mis-date - Wrong door peepz; try another the next time :)
No No .. I dont have loads of spare time or anything ... on the contrary I am neck deep (actually head deep) busy :( ... but coming up with this comment was a refreshing break after all :)
To give a date to someone is basically taking an appointment. This informal meeting of two people interested in each other, basically giving the other a date, got transformed into easyspeak lingo and got called 'a date' !
**and wat if the guy u r hanging out is the perfect one for you...
wud u term it as a YEAR next time???**
Well, I would NEVER think that any guy is perfect for me, just after the first date..or even after the 20th. It would take a good year of seeing him before I would decide whether or not he is perfect for me. So no, the next time would also be a 'date'.
Its The Particular Day You Decide To Go Out.. Thats Why "Date".. U Can't Decide Months Or Years..!!
AnyWay Here Is What Wikipedia Says..: "Dating is any social activity performed as a pair or even a group with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as their partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of agreeing on a time and "date" when a pair can meet and engage in some social activity.
Dates are a shorter way of putting it!Coz a date may or may not lead to a relationship.....coz a week, month or a year wud sound much more scary to ppl who dont want to commit and jus wanna hav some fun! :)
@ nirmal.. hey dats really very fast...hehe not possible dude wat will feel lik is..oh 10 mins left..oh my god jst 5 mins wat shud i do.. shud i ask her for 1 more hour..hehe
If they go out for the first time,it's a 'date' to remember(And,if the guy forgets,it's a 'date' for the girl to remember after a month/year and get angry about)...and,you can't remember a week,month,year thusly,na?
I wonder why Archies,et al don't have cards for 'dates'?Or,do they?
i think cos that meeting occurs at a moment of the day, i.e at a timestamp on a day, so a date and then the guys remember the day or date as memorable or disastrous, so called a DATE
I will come visit that debate. Meanwhile, you might wanna check out the debate that happened last night on Calm Frenzies' latest story. I think you might have something interesting and valuable to share there too.
Because a Date has complete information about all those other options mentioned...Week, Month, Year.
So when you say you went out with that person on a Date.. say a paricular Date, you are also specifying which week, month, year etc it was when it happened
So when you have the 'ultimate' option available, why opt for the inferior?
Date cos of what it represents - "Done After This Evening". Of course "Done" has many interpretations, running across the continuum from one extreme to another.
Now could week, month, year give you such benefit of doubt?? :P

LOL!!
//Date - A particular point or period of time at which something happened or existed, or is expected to happen.//
there you go. but seriously bro, if a date drags to week or month...then i dont know what is wrong already...
Good answers Sam n CG!
Nirmal here's my ans:
cos if we call it a Week or a Month or a Year, then if it didnt go past a single day, we'd be lying right?
Once u get married, u can say ur on a LIFETIME with a girl. lol!
Keshi.
donno abt others, but being bad at it, for me mostly everything ends on the same day, not even week or month! hence Date sounds perfect to me.
Its calling taking one day at a time considering how fragile relationships are.
LOL!!...In for lifetime....gud one Keshi!!
Nirmal go out on a date and u would know it...
Hw tough it is to handle a guy for a date....
hw could u even think of extending it to week...month and year...
my my....
With date u have an advatage of changing gals and boys often;-)))
it may be also due to Dates (the fruit)...
cos an evening with a girl/boy can be as SWEET as a Date, and u might even get into a STICKY situation. Just dun swallow the seed.
ok that was bloody dirty LOL!
Keshi.
may b coz dats d first n last day of dere meetin..
dey wont go furthur around
hehe ok its going gud...
question: We say 'vertebra - plural: vertebrae'
why dont we say 'umbrella - plural:umbrellae', or 'zebrae' or even 'brae' for that matter ;)
@sam...
and if we go back to past then its DATED..hehehe
@carolingal..
and wat if the guy u r hanging out is the perfect one for you...
wud u term it as a YEAR next time???
@gp..
hey brought defination for us...
**if a date drags to week or month...**
**then i dont know what is wrong already...**
buddy dint get it..or is it cause anything related to DATE is confusing..
@keshi..
and wat if it goes more than a DATE..then u wud be lying again...
coz most of the time u date for somedays and then u feel he is not the right person..
hehehe,..
so in both case u wud be lying
coz they don't have fun for a week, a month or an year :O
@ashjish..
ok....u brought this idea???
@sol..
fragile relations....
then i think it must be termed as MINs, SECONDS or MICRO SECONDS.
@prakhar...
only lol....give answer boy..
@chakoli,..
handle a guy....
hehehe,,
i guess u had a bad experience once in ur life..(he ran away or something)...
otherwise in a DATE he atleast ACTS as a gentleman...
and bout changing gals..if its done only for fun DATE is OK..but wat if i want to carryon a relationship with one..can i ask her out for a YEAR??..
lol
@keshi...
then i guess CHOCOLATES can be great to..
its sweet, ts sticky(sometimes)...and u can remove its COVER too...
so next ask ur boy out for a CHOCOLATE..
lol
@joie..
then it ust be
lets go for an HOUR..
heheheh
@luckydivz..
only on that given DATE???
ppl.. its not date time wala date...
maybbe they make each other eat dates... LION Dates... my fave...
roz subha khaaneka... ekdum dhinchak for health.
I think a marathi guy with the last name "date" pronounced as daa-tay came up with this idea and hence he made up this term!
Well one can't remember all the dates one went out wid someone (or many ones) ..so its generalized to DATE!
@ Keshi
Thats really dirty!! ;)
@ nirmal,
Carolinagal will soon be going on YEARS with someone..
@ nirmal,
Carolinagal will soon be going on YEARS with someone..
@ Nirmal,
In response to your question to Chakoli...when people propose, they do ask people out for YEARS!
because just dates can expire... have u ever heard of expiry week is gone or expiry month is gone... its just expiry date is gone!! :P
so we keep it to a date ;)
Hehhehe....one question with so many cheeky answers too..
I think it is called 'date' since it is a significant period for both-boy and gal,especially if it is for the very first time.Thus,whether it will work out or not,the 'date' would be remembered forever!..just like the first kiss:)
Gud one Its your own or really gud.
gaud knows...might be they sat under a date tree?
after one day they get bored of each other and it may be the last day ..so the name 'date' ..lol..
urs..hemu..
yah, u fix a meeting on a day, and depends on it you decides
firstly it is date and not a day ... so the comparision with week, month, year doesnt come into picture :) and now why the term "date" ... hmmmm .... I think coz of the below aspects that link to "dating" ...
candi-date - prospect an haan :)
intimi-date - not on the first day I guess; but once it progresses, am sure some ppl wud love to :)
cor-date - heart it is after all :)
denu-date - for few this might be the only purpose ...
dilapi-date - some allow themselves to fall into ruins because of this ...
eluci-date - hmmm ... many wud spend a lot of time just giving clarifications :)
se-date - now this is how I wud want my date to go :)
inun-date - with gifts ...
invali-date - each others acts/doings ... you shud have not done this .. or maybe reacted like this :)
man-date - do i need to say anything here ?? :)
mithri-date - antidote to poison is what this means ...
retar-date - maybe yes :)
and finally
mis-date - Wrong door peepz; try another the next time :)
No No .. I dont have loads of spare time or anything ... on the contrary I am neck deep (actually head deep) busy :( ... but coming up with this comment was a refreshing break after all :)
1. to not scare away people with commitment issues
2. to assure the other person that its going slow and steady and you're not thinking too far into the future
3. to surprise them by making it out to be your actual wedding date
To give a date to someone is basically taking an appointment. This informal meeting of two people interested in each other, basically giving the other a date, got transformed into easyspeak lingo and got called 'a date' !
bcoz there's no obligation to continue seeing the person for more than a "date"
Maybe when Adam and Eve were going around, they ate lots of dates. And thats how the tradition started...
@iceman..
u mean both of them going 4 shopping of DATES...
is that fun???
nirmal, first go check the meaning of dating in australian slang...
urban dictionary is a good place to satrt..
:D
bout carolinagal i have read it in her blog..
feeling god for her..and also bad too...
as ther r only limited beautiful and intelligent gal in this world..
humara kya hoga agar sabka shaadi ho gaya toh..
hehehe
@sol..
indirectly YES...
mein tumhe "ZINDAGI" bar chaunga...
i guess this is how a propose goes..
because it is mostly percieved that it'll last only for a day! hence it is called as a 'date'! :D
Abe KHAJOOR...
DATE is supposed to be a sweet experience - not a wrestlemania - so I guess it is called DATE as DATES are sweet.
WEAK oops WEEK what you feel when you had a bad DATE
@Nirmal
**and wat if the guy u r hanging out is the perfect one for you...
wud u term it as a YEAR next time???**
Well, I would NEVER think that any guy is perfect for me, just after the first date..or even after the 20th.
It would take a good year of seeing him before I would decide whether or not he is perfect for me.
So no, the next time would also be a 'date'.
@Sol
**Carolinagal will soon be going on YEARS with someone.**
Aww....thanks hon!
Yep Nirmal, I've been going on 'Months' with this guy until now..LOL
@ Keshi...
good one keshi...
Mebbe coz it all starts with a day as it ends with one..
Its The Particular Day You Decide To Go Out.. Thats Why "Date"..
U Can't Decide Months Or Years..!!
AnyWay Here Is What Wikipedia Says..:
"Dating is any social activity performed as a pair or even a group with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as their partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of agreeing on a time and "date" when a pair can meet and engage in some social activity.
Happy...!!!
:)
TakeCare Dear..
Dates are a shorter way of putting it!Coz a date may or may not lead to a relationship.....coz a week, month or a year wud sound much more scary to ppl who dont want to commit and jus wanna hav some fun! :)
@ nirmal..
hey dats really very fast...hehe
not possible dude
wat will feel lik is..oh 10 mins left..oh my god jst 5 mins

@ Joie,
Have blogrolled you...
btw... if someone is gonna come with a $10000 ring from tiffany's then will the date stay forever.. is this gonna be winning entry!! ;)
@ Ankur,
AHEM!
*batting eyelids*
What are you talking about Mister? ;)
SOLITAIRE!!! :D
only tats worth it!! :D
oops i mean the diamond!!! ;)
waise y its called a date, coz u cant remember a week of good moments, so u need a DATE!! :P
hehehe
love this question, Nirmal tryin to find logic in love, eh!! !
lolzzzz
Diamond phobic men like nirmal will find a lot of dates but never years.....
@ ankur,
great pun on words! :)
no pun Sol... :)
Because later its 'dates' which you are being reminded of.
We hugged first on 17th of that month.
You were proved impotent on 25th of that month and year. Remember?
And so on..
P.S. - You (Sneha) look Sundar.
@ Sutta,
HAHHAHHAA! Reminded me of that one chap in Dil Chahta Hai!
Impotent..hahahahah!
Thanks for the sundarta compliments...Remember...you have to cast me in your film...
@ sol
thanx dear :)
i guess cos its just that day of yur life...not a lifetime
:-s serious question :-s
becoz it lasts for only one date in the calender... so it's a date
rest...find the guy who termed it date for the fst time..he might have a better explanation
Nirmal if it goes for more than one day, u call it DATES (dating).
**and u can remove its COVER too...
lol ur being cheeky now right!
tnxx Sinner :)
Keshi.
Nirmal here's something else to think abt.
Why dun we call it a Second, Minute or an Hour? So if u went out with a girl for an hour, u can say I was on an Hour yesterday.
Keshi.
CG said exactly what I wanted to.
Now I would want to know why the person you are going out on the date with is called a date?
They are not a khajoor or a taareekh!
LOL...I loved Keshi's answers!!Nice going.
If they go out for the first time,it's a 'date' to remember(And,if the guy forgets,it's a 'date' for the girl to remember after a month/year and get angry about)...and,you can't remember a week,month,year thusly,na?
I wonder why Archies,et al don't have cards for 'dates'?Or,do they?
@ Hiren,
Your comment was equally refreshing for me!! I will man-DATE everyone to read it!
i think cos that meeting occurs at a moment of the day, i.e at a timestamp on a day, so a date and then the guys remember the day or date as memorable or disastrous, so called a DATE
wow I love Hiren's creativity! :)
Hiren how abt Medi-DATE? I mean u say OM OM OMMY DARLNG!
Keshi.
**because just dates can expire...
good one Ankur! :)
Keshi.
@sol..
***I think a marathi guy with the last name "date"**
infact i feel its done by a gal..coz gals r better in remebering DATES..
hehehe
@PRAKHAR..
**Well one can't remember all the dates one went out wid someone (or many ones) ..so its generalized to DATE!*
YUP GOT IT BRO..boys r really bad in remembering DATES..
@ankur..
***because just dates can expire... **
never heard of EXPIRY of DATES..only heard of a DATE going WRONG..
or is it u reach 5 mins late and gal says.."sorry boy our DATE just expired"..
hehehehe
@Keshi
thnxx!! :D
m honored!! :D
@ Nirmal,
Remember the guy in Dil Chahta Hai (Sonali Kulkarni's boyfriend)?
@Nirmal
medicine mai suna hai na, date expired, and late pahunchne par kaise bolegi ladki, the "date" is still in tact, just the moment is missed!! :D
@ AmitL,
Yeah I wonder too!! Or maybe they do...just that I never went into that section. Who knows!
@ Ankur,
The date does not expire on the medicine.
The medicine expires on that date.
Duh!
@Sol
meri fajiti karne par tuli hui hai tu..
haan haan wahi baba..
par usse expiry date kehte hai!!! :D
:D
@ Ankur,
That's because something expires on that date!
Do you want to expire on your date?
for me that date will never end Sol!!! :)
this time, ever... forever!!! :)
and oh btw...
pehle date haan toh kahe... usko pata bhi hai ya nahi yeh bhi nahi pata!!! :P
@keshi -> medi-date ... hmmm ... sound interesting .... a mystical evening ...
btw this reminds me of spotting a few couples coochie-cooing on the backside of a hillside temple or in some corners of a shrine compound :)
Is this medi-dating ?? :)
**Do you want to expire on your date?
haha Sol!
btw Ankur is tearing my hair out on a 'Western/Eastern' debate at my blog LOL!
Keshi.
yes Hiren it is! :):)
Keshi.
@ Keshi,

I presume dates are catching up with the Easterners too.
@Sol
A statement was raised abt me, and i answered it!! :)
I hope there is nothing wrong in it!!! :)
@keshi..
**Why dun we call it a Second, Minute or an Hour? So if u went out with a girl for an hour, u can say I was on an Hour yesterday.**

Keshi.
**I presume dates are catching up with the Easterners too.
hahahahaha Sol, girl I love ur witty cleverness!
Keshi.
Nirmal lets go on a Gregorian Calendar!
Keshi.
Date - Singular unit
Week - 7 dates
Year - 365 dates
A unit of measurement like we have metres and seconds and bytes :P
Hope that helps Nirmal
Nirmal ur not only a Devil, ur also a Diamondevil.
Keshi.
@Sneha & @Keshi
Do u guys remember that world is round!!! :P

Keshi.

**so no east no west, u 2 r d best!!!
but Im in the SOUTH. lol!
Keshi.
**diamondevil..hahah r u sure..
Nirmal should I doubt that?
Keshi.
Because a Date has complete information about all those other options mentioned...Week, Month, Year.
So when you say you went out with that person on a Date.. say a paricular Date, you are also specifying which week, month, year etc it was when it happened
So when you have the 'ultimate' option available, why opt for the inferior?
Its enough that you describe that you went on this particular Date with this person.
Nobody is so interested in your life as to know on which Microsecond, Second or Minute or Hour you went with the person.
So we dont use these units
But if the listener insists, you can say I went on a Timestamp with this person.
Because Timestamp data type provided by DB2 database includes all information such as hour, min, second and microseconds in addition to date.
if the meeting is success and the couple get together well, they remember the date...if not then too they remember the date...
when there are multiple meetings and multiple persons to be met or seen..its dates....
the continous tense is dating...as if in movement and the moment to remember is date...
well, have had not dates...
Date cos of what it represents - "Done After This Evening". Of course "Done" has many interpretations, running across the continuum from one extreme to another.
Now could week, month, year give you such benefit of doubt?? :P
