If I'm not planning on haveing sex with a woman at this point, just wanting to get to know her and see if we click and I "ask her out" (see my other thread) to something like the gun show, coffee, lunch, ect, do women still call that a "date"?

So it's not a date unless there is a sexact performed?
Where in Oregon are you?

This.
Anything could be a date, so long as it is approached as a date in a way that is clear to both parties.

Just be clear and specific. I've had outings that I consider dates that were no more than eating on a bench together. I think of them that way because he was very clear that he was interested in me and was hopeful for a future relationship with me.

There does not have to be sex to be a date. Clear intentions and a similar mindset is what it takes to make a good first date.
