Felt badly dated when dropped (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
left out
'dropped' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'felt badly dated' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'dated' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in another clue).
'felt' anagrammed gives 'left'.
'left'+'out'='LEFT OUT'
'when' is the link.
(Another definition for left out that I've seen is " Omitted".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
