I'm interacting with you now. Are we on a date?

Dating is a ritual interaction, it's not just term for any interaction. A tell that it is new is that the name is meaningless; it's just a term for an appointment that got wrapped up in a bunch of connotations that became denotations. Also see "go out" or "go with."

No, a comment reply isn't a date: i.e. not a interaction that signals you have continued proactive interest in me

Ask me to some in person interaction and it becomes ambiguous.

Alternatively, replying to me often and making flattering comments.
