In summary, "Okay, now if you'll excuse me, I have a date." is a phrase commonly used to politely excuse oneself from a conversation or social setting because the speaker has a romantic engagement or date to attend. While it can also be used in a casual or humorous way, it is most commonly associated with romantic contexts. The exact origin of the phrase is unknown, but it likely originated from the idea of being "excused" to go on a date. Whether or not it is considered rude to use this phrase depends on the context and relationship between the speaker and the person they are speaking to. It is not typically used in a professional setting and it is best to use more formal language in such settings.
