Posted: 5/10/2009 8:42:09 PM | | I think to "hang out " with somebody is the opposite of having hobbies and social stuff to do with them.I have had "hang out" friends..it is as if there are no demands or expectations in the relationship,also defined as a casual relationship, because of no demands...I've done that, it can be very comfortable | |

Posted: 8/22/2009 9:15:37 PM | uhhh...I selected Hang Out, but I wrote a paragraph explaining what it means to me. Basically just wanting to start off slowly and not have that immediate pressure that comes with dating right off the bat. Not looking for FWB at all, I do want to progress into dating and beyond if the connection is there but I'm just a slow mover. Having to 'decide' if I want a relationship with someone in 1 or 2 meets is just alot of pressure I find.
I might need to change to Dating if Hang Out has this bad of a rep and/or women don't search for this category... | |

Posted: 8/22/2009 10:27:14 PM | Typically when someone says they want to "hang out" it means that one of you goes over to the other persons place, you have a little small talk, have sex and then the person goes home. It's generally the casual way to get together with someone and get laid without actually dating
A Fuk Buddy would really fall under the category of Intimate Encounters.
People ... don't read too much into it. Hangout is just the first choice in the drop down list.  | |

Posted: 8/22/2009 11:48:50 PM | I've noticed some people use date and hangout interchangeably. A guy asked me out by saying "wanna hangout soon?" Well it just so happened our little hangout was a date. Generally though hangout is associated with friendships and a date is associated with romantic relationships. If I see hangout on someone's profile, I can automatically tell they are not looking for anything serious, but they are aware that sometimes things happen. So I guess they're open to the idea of dating someone but would rather just spend some time with you casually unless they tell you otherwise, of course.
To make it simple, I'd switch it to "Friends", seems a little less complicated seeing as people have so many definitions of "hangout". lol | |

This struck me. I always thought of "hanging out" was almost a way of casually getting to know someone without all the pressure of a "date". Also may be someone that you don't really have serious feelings for but you want a little cuddle time and nookie when needed. Not a platonic friend, more a FWB situation.
The phrase "hang out" has very low pressure connotations. It's disarming. You can say yes to the question "wanna hang out?" a lot faster and easier and more casually than the question "would you like to have a meal with me Friday night?" Which one sounds easier? | |

To me it means "intimate encouter" without suffering the ban POF places on your profile.
Friends might make "the friends" call or seek something more, you don't want that either. Nor dating, and you have no activities for a partner to join in as "hanging out" is not really an activity per se. | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 5:12:50 PM | I guess it's pretty obvious now that hang out means really different things to different people! I like the term much better than the word date myself ~ which implies only romantic interest which is limiting. Hanging out to me only means a casual meeting to see if we enjoy each other as friends and see if we have chemistry for possibly more. It seems like the more natural way to meet and get to know new people in your life. It doesn't change anything really ~ besides trying to indicate to the person that it will be a relaxed meeting ~ not an interview where they'll be grilled like a halibut.   | |

I've noticed some people use date and hangout interchangeably. A guy asked me out by saying "wanna hangout soon?"
A date is not required for things to be more-than-friends. Meeting up at a bar for a drink while each is already out and about is not a date ("Hey, go over to Bill's Tavern in 30 minutes. I'll buy ya a drink.."). It's just a meetup/get-together, and it's pretty modern. Why? The focus is not on entertaining the woman, the focus on both people getting to know each other.
With that said, the "Hang Out" under Looking For means "I'm not looking to commit to anyone". That doesn't mean someone couldn't end up being in a relationship or dating someone in the future. They just don't have the mindset to be dating anyone. It means one of two things for most people (whether they know it or not, it's what they want):
(a) FWB - This is what most people want. Not looking for just one thing or booty calls... they want a more-than-friends scenario; casual dating; no exclusitivity, and well... not stagnant at PG-rated at the same time (be honest). News Flash: If you're not dating, but you are fooling around to some degree -- it's Friends With Benefits, whether you despise the term or not.
(b) Weird PG - Ironically, this is weirder than FWB. They're not looking to date in the foreseeable future, and at the same time, not looking for anything more than a mini-makeout session in the car at some point. They want to just hang out, and it being a friendship, but a little romantic attention. Usually leads to people being led on. | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 11:48:21 PM | | I think hang out means getting to know one another and going to each other's homes without the expectation of becoming intimate just to see if there is any basis for more than a friendly exchange. | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 12:40:47 AM | My definitions of Hang Out:
Get together and just chill, go for a walk, take a drive, get a burger, play pool...
A leisurely get together... A friendly outing. lol
Well that's that... We will all have different pov's based on our own personal experiences and perceiptions. The like minded mates, which is what we are looking for hopefully, will agree with your definition... whatever that maybe.

to me this is what someone is saying when he says "hang out": "I have no better plans so come do something with me while I keep my antennas up looking for something better". To me it's the "nice" way to say, "I don't want you full time, just when no one else is available that is better".
Funny AND very true. Good one | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 12:18:27 PM | I've said it before, will say it again:
The critical query is always:
What is it that I am not being told?
You want clarification? You ask.
keepin it simple, keepin it real.--PW | |

Posted: 8/29/2009 3:55:35 PM | | The phrase to me means he wants an easy "out" if you are seeing him --just in case he does meet someone he is interested in he can just disapear without any worry to explain . Also to me means a friend with benefits maybe. | |

If you really just want to meet people and be in their company without "crossing the line", choose "friends."
I read some threads that are about FWB to "cross the line". | |
