So, I want to know where people think the separation between "hanging out" with someone of the opposite sex and it being a "date"? I've been having a conversation with a friend and I wanted to see what MFPeeps have to say :happy:

    Hanging out you don't have sex in the back of the car, or in the bathroom at the restaurant. Dating you do.

    If you have to ask, it's not a date.

    dates come with pressure.

    hanging out - no pressure, no expectations, you're free to do what you want without needing to assign a label.

    Hanging out is what's done by cowards or people who are just hoping for some meaningless sex. Why women put up with it, I'll never understand.

    Dates imply that both parties are putting forth an effort to ultimately have sex with each other.
    Hanging out requires no effort whatsoever, and can include farting, belching, and generally being asinine in front of the other individual.

    that's awfully judgmental. maybe the woman doesnt want a relationship, she's happy with having friends and doesnt need the emotional roller coaster. maybe she WANTS sex.

    Hanging out is what they call it when they don't wanna be seen in public with you.

    Hanging out = Expect something like a BJ or handy and possibly actual sex

    Date = Sex is expected, preferably some hot and heavy with full VIP access.

    Honestly... I don't know. Sometimes guys ask me if I'd like to have 'coffee' with them. I take this as HANGING OUT, not a date. To me, coffee isn't a date. Coffee is what you do with friends, not dates.

    But I've never really figured out what exactly constitutes a date and what doesn't. Especially with fellows you're not already friends with.

    Coffee with someone who is not already a friend is an interview, by the end of which, both parties will know if they want to be friends, to date, or to forget the whole thing.

    I used to 'hang out' with a female friend of mine all the time. We could go out for food, watch a movie, explore the island (stationed in Hawai'i at the time), and there was no problems at all.

    It all depends on what the people involved really are trying to achieve with whatever situation the two are being put into.

    Beware the pie and ice cream date. This is where a guy takes you out for pie/ice cream... if it goes good, it moves on to a movie. If it goes bad... hey, at least you got ice cream :D
