I feel like most girls look at it as a "risk-free" date so if she rejects you later she can just say "Oh I thought we were just getting coffee." But if you like each other then you can move on to the next level. I think it kinda works for both parties so the girl won't feel committed to the "date" and then the guy can get a chance to actually get to know her rather than get rejected before she even gives him a chance on an actual date. Unfortunately I've gotten rejected on virtually any and all dates I've ever asked a girl out on, except 2. One I met on Tinder (which is the only time a Tinder girl has ever followed through.) and the other was a girl from work but she turned out to have some major trust issues.

It’s only a date if you both acknowledge it’s a date & in this case both of you are just going out for coffee & who knows maybe your little coffee non-date dates could lead to something more.
To me no, And if the guy said it was a date I’d say nah we just got some coffee as buddies. Others might count this though.

i never really found it important 2 distinguish these two. u get a girl alone and there's plenty of opportunity 2 kiss and grab whether we wanna call it a date or nut
Not until you actually agree on a specific time. A coffee meeting is mostly to gauge interest and attraction.
Not for me. Grabbing a coffee is just socializing. If it's a date they want they say it's a date they want.
I'd not consider it a date; rather, I'd take it as an indication that she likes you and wants to see if this leads to something more.
It could be considered a date or just a get together
Nope it means grabbing coffee, especially if you're ugly.
No, it is not. Just pay for her coffee and go back to work. Her mission accomplished.
No it's not it's a prelude to one Maybe but not always
It usually means a burned hand, mouth , tongue or stained shirt.
Casual date.. pay for her
