What is a lesbian date?

By Kathy Belge, About.com

Question: What is a lesbian date?

What is a lesbian date? How do you know if you're on a date or just hanging out as friends?

Answer: Is it a date or just coffee? That question is one lesbians have asked over the ages. Because you are both women, often it can be hard to distinguish whether or not what you are doing is dating or just hanging out.

The thing that makes a date different than just hanging out with a friend is that there is a romantic interest from at least one of the people. A date can also be a time to get to know someone better to see if there IS romantic interest. But romance is usually involved. If you are unsure about the status of a relationship, the best way to find out what's going on is to just ask. "Are we dating or just hanging out?"
