 𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗩𝗦. 𝗧𝗪𝗢-𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 We often use the word double date to mean when a man cheats on his wife by having an affair with another woman, which is incorrect in terms of meaning.  The appropriate word for that meaning is two-time.  According to Cambridge Dictionary, two-time means to deceive someone you are having a relationship with by having a secret sexual relationship with someone else at the same time. For example: ended the relationship when I found out he was two-timing me. #S͛рⷬeͤaͣᴋⷦIͥmͫрⷬeͤcͨcͨaͣвⷡleͤEͤngliͥs͛hͪ ©️ 〇ⲕᎯ⨍𝖮ᖇ ᑌ⊂Ꮒ∈.       ᎶᖇᎯⲙⲙᎯᖇ ᙅ𝖮Ꭿ⊂Ꮒ
