Was it a date that I met the man that wanted to date me?

I chatted with him, talked on the phone too. I told him for several times that I only talk to him that I have no intention of dating him and he shouldn't have any hopes for me.

I had to meet him because I felt obligated as he came from a very distance city just to see me. We didn't even handshake. Lol

Is this considered a date.
