Hanging out vs. Going Out?

[Buck Naked]

Whats the difference? To me their is no difference. In some way im sure their different but in the back of my mind im going to be thinking about getting in her victoria secret's either way. Do women know the difference. Can someone explain what hanging out means.

Hanging out is casual. Going out is not as casual. Both can lead to good things. I prefer hanging out though, so the girl won't feel as much pressure for something to happen.

I'm experiencing this as well. Some women want to "meet" not "go on a date." I think they use the phrase "hanging out" so it takes some of the pressure off.
Beware though, it might be a way to say "i'm not interested in you, so we can just hang out" in ********.

If they, or you, want to just hang out, then don't display courtship-type of behavior, like have dinner in a nice restaurant.

Kind of mirror what she wants. If you sense she wants to be taken out, then suggest a restaurant and go out. But if she's laid back, go do some activity together. Something where you don't have to look at each other and talk the whole time, like a game, concert, the mall, etc, so if there are any gaps in the conversation, its not that big of a deal.

Taking storm's methodology, which is the one I use, I totally use hanging out!
Why? Because taking her out if f*cking boring, hanging out is YOU having fun, and taking her for the ride while you have fun, and besides having fun, you enjoy her company!

She better have some interest level, even a little, for "Let's Hang Out" to work like a charm, the way you guys are putting it. The higher her interest level, the less it will matter what you guys do, as long as she gets to hang out with you, and that's the beauty of qualifying your prospects. Don't worry about what she likes, just make sure that you have build enough interest, so it won't matter, and you won't stress yourself tryin' to do the right thing. I've had my frustrations in the past with this one folks, learn from my previous challenges.
If she is not interested in the least bit, she will think "hang out and do WHAT?", in other words, " don't want to hang out with you."

But overall, "hanging out", "getting together", etc. works a lot better than "lets go out to dinner" or "go out on a date" or "go out".

I've never liked the idea of a formal "date", just because it often follows a protocol which doesn't really make it fun.

I wouldn't use the words "going out", "date", OR "hanging out." Just say, "Let's meet at xxx at yyy." Leaves the course of the evening up to you...but you have to be ready to steer. Women like you to be in control and know what you want.

Like some people on here said, FUN is everything.
