Defining an object using an explicit value constructor

Question

I'm trying to do an exercise using classes to store dates (MM DD YYYY). I have two class constructors, one default that sets the Date values to a default, and one that uses explicit values sent from main() in my driver file.

However, after my declaration statement in main() to the explicit value constructor (to make date2) in my driver file, I'm getting errors that appear to indicate that date2 was never made.

Below are the relevant portions for this constructor. How do I get date2 to become defined and declared to use for other things in main()?

Header

class Date
{
    private:
        int month, day, year;
    public:
        Date(); // default date constructor will assign all data members to equivalent of 01/01/2022
        Date(int initMonth, int initDay, int initYear); //parametered Date constructor will collectively set all three data members
}

Implementation

Date :: Date(): month(1), day(1), year(2022) {}
Date :: Date(int initMonth, int initDay, int initYear)
{
    if (initMonth < 1 || initMonth > 12) { cerr << "Invalid month\n\n"; month = -2; }
    if (initDay < 1 || initDay > 30) { cerr << "Invalid day\n\n"; day = -2; }
    if (initYear < 1) { cerr << "Invalid year\n\n"; year = -2; }
    month = initMonth;
    day = initDay;
    year = initYear;
}

Driver

Date date1;
do
    {
        cout << "Please enter a date in this sequence: MM DD YYYY ";
        cin >> month >> day >> year;
        Date date2(month, day, year);
    } while (date2.month == -2 || date2.day == -2 || date2.year == -2);
    date1.print();
    date2.print();
