Professionally speaking - yes, that term is wrong. You a lunch/ coffee with a clientele partner.

Personally, I don't see the big deal...but if your wife does, you'd be 'wrong' to dismiss her feelings on it.

@ImpeccablyImperfect Yes, i agree. In my business i have seen business literature that relates building the relationship as if you were courting someone. I agree its not appropriate and I should be aware of the wife's feelings.

I guess it really shows there are issues with the marriage...

Why are you using the word "date" when it's for business? You never heard the word "meeting" before?
missit15 · 56-60, M
@DreamingOfSummer yes, it would be more appropriate to use meeting.. and it seems like everyone agrees with that. I do as well but it should not cause a huge fight because i used the wrong word.

I would use the word date for any appointment I had booked regardless of whether its social or for business and regardless of the gender of the person I had a date with.

its best to use words that make your wife comfortable and happy...
happy wife, happy life...
so be wrong and prosper...

The word "date" implies something romantic. I would say lunch "meeting".
