what's considered a "date"?

[obsession]

The way that people ask someone out "on a date" can get blurry.

 

If someone asks another person for a one-on-one, it's considered a date.

 

If a guy ask a girl to "hang out" one-on-one, would that be considered asking someone else on a date?

 

If a guy ask a girl to "hang out" with a group of people, then it seems like it's just "hanging out", right?

 

I don't even know what asking someone out on a date lately anymore, because it's mostly "want to hang out" deal instead of "would you like to go out with me?" Really just a case of technicality, that's all.

I think it would...but you're right it gets blurry

I met a girl at a Halloween party once. My Birthday falls near Thanksgiving. So we sent a couple of emails, but I never really got the feeling she was into me. The next time I saw her was because she offered to take me out for my birthday. Since dinner is pretty much the standard gift in my peer group for birthday I didn't think it was a date. Boy was I wrong. It turns out she really liked me. We ended up dating for a couple of years and even now we laugh about how I didn't think we were on a date.

There was this once, a guy friend of mine asked, "let's go watch this movie (I forgot the name), k?" We weren't really close friends; the last time I saw him before the movie was about six months ago, but we would talk, online, once in a while. During the times that we DID hang out, though, he'd flirted with me.

 

So I went, thinking that it would be a group thing, but as it turned out, there were only the two of us.

But during the whole time, he didn't make a move or anything, so it was just like two friends hanging out.

 

I don't know if that was a date, or maybe he just really wanted to see the movie and couldn't find a friend.

I've been asked out a few times when the initial invitation included a few other friends. Somehow, it ended up being just me and the guy who asked me out. The other friends had a change of plans, or left early. I didn't consider it a date because there wasn't any romance or trying to impress each other. Most importantly, we never discussed or labled it a date. It's only a date if both people agree that it's a date!

its a Date when you go out with someone you are intrested in getting to know better for probably a relationship aspect to the whole thing.

Hanging out is what you would do with a good friend with no intentions except having good fun , thats it.

.... I don't know if that was a date, or maybe he just really wanted to see the movie and couldn't find a friend.

 

Or maybe he wanted to see the movie and did find a friend -- you!
