At the lunch we talked about movies and I told her that I couldn't believe she didn't know who a certain filmmaker was so I took her to see one of his movies. Everything was very friendly and casual.
Two days later I get a call from a friend of mine and he mentions the "date" I had with the girl. Apparently she told a few of her friends that we went on a few dates and it got back to my friend.
I'm just confused. If our outing, which I thought was just way too casual, a date, then I've been on hundreds or dates.
Am I supposed to say, "I'm going to take you to see this movie, but only as your friend" before inviting someone to see a movie with me?
It's not like a made a move during the whole outing or made any kind of romantic compliment or something. I was just me. I really enjoy her company, but I kind of have mixed feelings about her calling it a date.
Has anyone else been through something like this?

SHE might have thought it was a date... some people consider dates just when you do something with someone else...
but if you have intentions of her just being a friend... then it wasn't a date.
If you are seen in a public place with a member of the opposite sex...people who know (or with) you assume you're on a date! Part of their question deals with curiosity---and the rest is just a way of being...err...CUTE! Either way..it's not that big a deal!
What's important is if you enjoy each other's company...and apparently...the two of you do, right?
It isn't necessary to provide a detailed explanation to friends, co-workers or family members when they ask you about your social life. One sentence will sum it up:
"Jane" is a great girl and the two of us are friends.
After that...don't offer any further information unless you want to.
