Displaying the Date on Future posts

I would like to display the date of a future post over the title. I have this setup in the following way.

In category.php (twenty twelve theme) I have the following php output

<span class="entry-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span><!-- Displays the date above the title -->
			<?php
			/* Start the Loop */
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

This displays the following output (image below)

As you can see the date is correctly displaying but I want the date to reflect the date on the post meta, ” July 2 2013″ which is a future date, not the date the post was actually made.
