It's not a Gigi style casual date until you're comfortable labeling it as a casual date. It's not a casual date till you're both on board with the fact that it's more than just a hang-out. That's why a kiss is the clear indicator that you've passed into "date" territory... because it suggests that both of you are on board & aware that it's more than just a hang-out... but between the moment where you plan the meeting and the moment when you choose to kiss each other... it's all a great big beautiful fun gray area where you're lucky if your heart starts beating quicker when you see her and you start THINKING about whether you should pay for her coffee or kiss her or ... whatever.
When you're in the gray area, you call it anything you want... it's PRACTICE ... it's getting to know her... it's not supposed to be something you need to label and worry about or push for more. Unless you WANT to label it & worry about it & push for more.
