    OK but how does the whole snippet look and in what page shall I out it?

    You’ll need to edit page template. Inside loop use $post->post_date.

    If it is not helpful, please, give the code of page.php and place you want to put date.

    Fantastic, I really appreciate your help here. I want it just before the title of the post.

    <body>
<!-- WRAPPER -->
<div id="wrapper">
  <!-- BG WRAPPER -->
  <div id="bgwrapper">
    <!-- HEADER + MENU -->
    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <!-- CONTAINER -->
    <div id="container">
      <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
        <div class="entry">
          <?php the_content(); ?>
          <?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
          <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
        </div>
      </div>
      <?php endwhile; ?>
      <?php else : ?>
      <div class="post">
        <h2><?php _e('Not Found'); ?></h2>
      </div>
      <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <!-- FOOTER -->
  <?php get_footer(); ?>
</div>
</body>

    No – you shouldn’t use $post->post_date in this situation. You should use the_date() and/or the time().

    Yes, esmi is correct, we can simply use the_date() or the_time() between
    <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    …
    <?php endwhile; ?>

    Try changing:

    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

    to:

    <div class="date><?php the_date();?></div>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

    Hmm that don’t lead to nothing? Ain’t got no class for date but I guess that don’t matter it should turn up anyway?

    ??
    <div class="date><?php the_date();?></div>
    is correct. place it where you want but keep it inside loop

    <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    …
    <?php endwhile; ?>

    NEW CODE:

    <body>
<!-- WRAPPER -->
<div id="wrapper">
  <!-- BG WRAPPER -->
  <div id="bgwrapper">
    <!-- HEADER + MENU -->
    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <!-- CONTAINER -->
    <div id="container">
      <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        <div class="date><?php the_date();?></div>
        <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
        <div class="entry">
          <?php the_content(); ?>
          <?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
          <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
        </div>
      </div>
      <?php endwhile; ?>
      <?php else : ?>
      <div class="post">
        <h2><?php _e('Not Found'); ?></h2>
      </div>
      <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <!-- FOOTER -->
  <?php get_footer(); ?>
</div>
</body>
