Chat with date, excited to get engaged? (8)
I believe the answer is:
attached
'engaged?' is the definition.
('attached' can be similar in meaning to 'engaged')
'chat with date excited' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chat' after 'date' is 'datechat'.
'datechat' with letters rearranged gives 'ATTACHED'.
'to get' is the link.
(Other definitions for attached that I've seen before include "Fastened together, joined to" , "Fond and affectionate (to)" , "Appended or added to" , "Affixed" , "Joined or fastened to something" .)
