nondate
Not a date
A nondate is a meeting between two people that resembles a date but isn't romantically intended—or where one party doesn't consider it a date: We grabbed coffee, but it was definitely a nondate.
The term often signals ambiguity about whether an outing has romantic implications, or deliberately clarifies that it doesn't.
