    If the guy pays for dinner, a movie, or a specific event, it's a date. Otherwise it's hanging out.

    Dating - he calls you in advance and you make plans to go out. You're actually seen out in public together, as a couple.

    Hanging out - he calls you at 9pm on a Saturday night to ask if you wanna watch a movie at his place.

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

    WORD!!!!!!!!!!


    LOL!!! I just posted something similar!!! If a guy can't walk into a restaurant holding hands with you...hmmm he's just looking for a 'hanging out' buddy.

    Hanging out means one or both people have no interest in pursuing an actual relationship. Dating means both people believe there may be the possibility of a relationship in the future. What you are actually doing doesn't define it -- the intentions behind it do. (A guy coming to your house and watching a movie with you could be a date, rather than hanging out, depending on both of your intentions.)

    Also, this. Hanging out is also what they call it when they don't want to spend any money on you or when they are solely interested in sex with you.

    I can tell by your shoes, when you’re in a relationship you never pick up the tab. Boom!

    Hanging out is when there are NO romantic feelings involved. Usually consists of, watching a movie at home with popcorn and pop and the occasional belch & fart.

    Dating, you sometimes go out to dinner, depending on his pay check and/or eat in, but there are romantic feelings involved & you run to the bathroom to fart, even if it's every 2 minutes.

    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.


    This is spot on with exception that date is usually in public and can include dinner and the full bells and whistles that accompany a real date.

    Hanging out is often nothing more than a booty call with things listed above and can be in a car, hotel room, motel room, or even the house of one of the possibly married participant with little to no money spent. Pure sexual acts desired by both with no commitment.

    hanging out = purely platonic, no romantic intentions (which for me means the guy doesn’t get lucky, we're just friends)

    date = romantic intentions (which means he may eventually get lucky, depending on how this and subsequent dates go)

    At this point in my life I want intentions clear from the get go. Either you like me and want to date me or you don’t.

    I'm also 37 and in a committed relationship. I don't know what the kids are doing or calling it these days.

    Hanging out means someone is not interested seriously and wants a booty call.

    Date = serious interest.

    Hanging out is with somebody you have no romantic interests, friends with benefits.

    asking something like that is basically like googl'ing....10 million responses.

    for me:

    Date....he likes you, thinks you are attractive to him, and is showing interest

    Hanging out....he's really married or he's just not that into you

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

    lol sometimes i do that with people im hanging out with too :laugh: :wink:

    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.

    What about us men? I'm so tired of being used for all this meaningless sex! Why do these women just want me for my body? Day after day after day! Who's gonna pay for all this Gatorade to replace my fluids? How do they know I don't just want a hug?

    Anybody want to cuddle?

    Actually, I went on what was apparently a date and had no idea that he thought it was one...
