Batting 0.000

[jamesq]

In the last entry I wrote the following:

"I'm still 0.000 for getting a date on those occasions where I've asked"

That's certainly how I remember things, but I did get called out on in in a private message. So here are some edge cases:

1. If I asked someone to coffee or dinner, and it's clear that I have no romantic intentions, is it a date? My thought is no.
   
2. If two people discuss whether dating is a reasonable idea, then proceed to do so, can one be reasonably said to have asked the other one out? I honestly don't know.
   
3. I ask someone out on what I intend to be a romantic date, and they say yes. Later it becomes clear that the other person did not understand that this was a date. Does it count.

My 0.000 stat includes each of the above situations. Should it still be 0.000? Should it be a non-zero value? Should it be marked with an asterisk?

This is a rather long-winded way of saying I've been out on dates, just that one method of initiating dates has never worked for me.
