Crossword Genius

Chap gets date raging angry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heated

'angry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'chap gets date raging' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'he' ().
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'raging' is an anagram indicator.
'date' anagrammed gives 'ated'.
'he'+'ated'='HEATED'

(Other definitions for heated that I've seen before include "Inflamed with passion" , "Made warm" , "Angry, getting warm" , "Angry or warmed" , "Fired-up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
