And why use romantic terms like love and date if you don't mean it?
It's a cultural and language difference which westerners rarely ever do understand, so you're not alone in that regard. I haven't read the raws, but I'm guessing they're using "Tsukiai" which can be hard translated into "Date", but can also mean "to accompany", which normal japanese people use frequently in their conversations to invite someone somewhere. The other word is most probably "suki" which can mean both "Love"/romantic "Like", or more commonly used to express fondness of things e.g: "I like sushi" kind of way.
