Linguistically speaking, the term arrived as most do, with the evolution of language. Society and culture alters language to make it easier to understand. The term was most likely to originate from saying "we will set a date for the meeting" (be it romantic or otherwise) or similar sentences. This would have through the years been cut down simply to be your date to accommodate in society's increasingly informal attitudes to social situations.
