I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place for a date?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for oasis that I've seen before include "can provide welcome relief" , "place to escape gloom?" , "Spring of fresh water in a desert" , "Pop group" , "Fertile area in 7?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
