That's part of the definition of 'pre-date'. There is this part, " harbor feelings for the other.". What's the meaning of that part?
Particularly, the meaning of the verb harbor, what dose it mean? does it means to hide? or something?

Harbor means that you are holding something in or you have it. Harbor the noun means a place where ships come and park and they are protected from the waves. When you harbor your feelings it’s like keeping them inside you

I've never heard of a pre-date before in my life.. sounds silly. It just sounds like a date to me, why not call it that.

@rissa_anne WoW, I can make some picture in my mind. Harbor is like mother embracing her children, protecting, not letting go, keeping her child inside her. so..that makes sense, keeping feelings inside me! Thank you for your kind explanation! :)
