<human>: I've (20m) been talking to this girl (20f) for about 2 weeks now.  We've hit it off pretty well.  We've gone on a couple "outings" (unofficial dates) to the zoo and party at our mutual friends house and were considered to have been attended "as a couple."  Was wondering at what point are we considered a couple?  By which I mean do I need to ask her on an official first date before we can be officially dating or will our outings suffice to count as a first date and I can just ask her if we're official yet.   Our friends have already been referring to her & I as bf/gf (EX: "Oh yeah. I see your girlfriend go outside 2 minutes ago.")

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Do I need to ask her on an official first date before I can ask if we are "Facebook Official" or will hanging out together suffice as a substitute for a first date?
