Where the other person knew it was a date, and you didn't, or it started out as not a date, but ended up as one?
If so, how did that go?

Nope, not to my knowledge at least. Sounds like a fun experience though; this just happen to you Jace?

Yes, I've been on both the giving and receiving end here. My first date with Jess is the best example... since, at the time, I was 19 and she was 26, she felt that we were just hanging out while I felt it surely a date. Of course I worked my wiles on her and now she's made me two babies, so ha ha ha.
Not really. In my younger days I did many a goony "let's go out some time" with young women who were too polite to say no, and those never went anywhere.
I've had a couple of evenings end with "wait, you were cheating on your girlfriend with me, right?" "What? No. Well, actually, now that you mention it, gimme like two weeks."
Rarely did I get the two weeks, but it has happened.

When I was eleven, a girl with whom I once went out to lunch intended for the appointment to be a date, although I hadn't remotely suspected such a thing. I don't clearly remember how it went, but it sure as heck didn't end with a kiss, nor with plans for a second date.

I'm not entirely sure. I've been asked out (and I had to turn it down cuz I was eating out with my family already that night) and I thought it was for a date but he said it wasn't when I inquired about it. Brudder thought he was (because they are kinda friends). The guy was a friend but hasn't talked to me since and it is all just very awkward.
I mean it kinda sounds like he thought it was a date then.

Well, I had a friend of a friend who wanted to hang out because he didn't have any gay friends. But dancing has a way of turning hanging out into a date.

My thought process just now:
"Oh four topics just got bumped."
"Oh Mark posted in Nala's topic. I shall see what he had to say elsewhere."
"... I was promised a BUM post and that delivered."

I'm realizing now that I think I could have tricked someone into one of these not-a-date dates tonight, but I missed my opportunity.

I've turned people down for dates only realizing several moments later that I was being asked out. I remember one particular time I had pulled an all-nighter and was chatting with this cute Junior upon leaving the class it was for. I said something to the effect of "ugh I pulled an all-nighter and I am so wrecked right now." She was like "yeah... I need some coffee. I think I'm going to go get some coffee. Hey do you know a good place to get coffee around here?"
I thought to myself: What a patently absurd question! That's absurd that you've been at this institution a year longer than me, and yet don't know where you'd go to get coffee. I answered at face value with a "y'know, I would go to..." and pointed out some campus establishment. She looked frustrated for a second and then said with no small excitement "Cool. Well, y'know what, I really need some coffee I'm going to go there right now." And I said with equal excitement "dude that sounds awesome. I am going to go snag a nap and it's going to be great."
I went about eleven steps before I realized my misstep. It took about eight more for the truth to sink in fully, and by then I'd totally blown my shot.
At the time, I didn't really get that upset because I was *so* tired, and also I had no idea who the young woman was (except that we sat... well, not even near one another in this one class). But when I would go on to do virtually the same thing at a book fair in grad school, that was when I felt dumb as hell.
Ed. Oh, and one more:
When my present girlfriend and I started dating, like the day after our first date, she invited me over to her apartment "to enjoy tea and play with her new kittens" and I took this at face value. So it wasn't that I thought it wasn't a date so much as that I thought it would be kitten-centric. Which it was, but not like entirely.
In fairness there were kittens and they were completely adorable:

They are cute, but they look like adult cats to me. I suppose they were kittens at the time?

Yes, those are recent pictures. Honestly it was an excuse to post the picture of Zora hiding in a house plant.

I would say yes, with the caveat that I was the one that asked her. Basically, I got into my relationship by accident. Not a wise move.
