Learn English – Two people doing something together

single-word-requests

There are words like "meeting", "gathering" or "get-together" that describe some people coming together for a certain time, for doing certain things together.

Those words may or may not imply that the people getting together are a group (i.e. 3 or more people) — a meeting can be between two people, but I'd assume that a gathering is typically understood to mean a whole group of people.

Either case, is there any expression or preferebly a single word which indicates that it's exactly two people getting together for some activity?

Words that are typically used for an appointment between two people — like date or rendezvous — usually have a romantic connotation. I'm basically looking for a more neutral equivalent.

Tête–à–tête is sometimes used for a meeting of two people. It connotes privacy (i.e., the conversation thereat is intended to be private).
