Hello, teachers!!
If I say "I made a date with her," can this sentence mean "I had a date with the opposite sex" ?
I mean, when I had a date with the opposite sex, is "I had a date with her" the most common?
By the context it is used in, can "make a date" have the same meaning "have a date"?
Thank you in advance. |

To make a date or to have a date means nothing more than you have arranged to meet with a person; a doctor, lawyer, friend etc. To go on a date refers to a more personal, romantic relationship.
