man: this is one of the nicest dates I've been on in a long time
woman: oh, um, is this a date?
man: I mean, I thought it was
woman: I thought we were just friends catching up
man: well, I called you last night to confirm we were still meeting up, which I only do for dates
woman: well, you didn't actually say it was a date
friend: yeah, it was a schroedinger's date. sorry, man.
