If a guy suggests we meet up (maybe a movie, a lunch/dinner, a snack/coffee outing, attending an event, to play a sport, for a walk, or to just chit-chat in the park), is that a date, or a hanging-out situation? How does one determine the difference?

No answer yet that really satisfied me. The concept is still fuzzy.

Well, I think guys need to re-evaluate what it is that they want first. But, I would have to say that for a guy to pick you up and take you to a movie, out to dinner , etc, that would classify as a date. Anything less than that would be informal "hanging out". Its not like he's sweeping you off your feet to just meet at the park or just go on a nature walk. It's only a date if he puts time, energy and does what is necessary to treat and show you that you deserve to be treated like a lady and or a queen.

2 me hanging out is just a casual chit chat, it can be in the form of a group as "well we got a few minutes 2 spare after work or after school, lets grab a bite or take a short walk," a date is planned for, a structured day, nite or evening. if its a group there are equal # of male&female 2 facilitate any intimate happenings.

Kissing would be the first clue.
It's perfectly fine to hang out to get to know each other before you start to date,or not.
That is healthy and normal.
If you have those feelings it is normal. Don't make it be more than it is before the relationship is ready to progress. Be patient it will get there in time. You're in the funnest part of the process, just enjoy it, enjoy not knowing for sure.
It just may not be ready yet, but it sounds close.
Be safe have fun and get to know him.

Well usually if you go out and talk or enjoy whatever activity you have planned, it would suggest that you're just hanging out. However if there is any hand holding or intimate touching (putting his arm around you) that would suggest it's a date. Unless the guy is the 'touchy' type. Hope that helps.

If you are one of the guys it's hanging out. If you are not one of the guys and it's only the two of you and there is an interest it's a date.

The only differences are the hopes and expectations. If all you expect is to have a fun time with someone you enjoy, you're hanging out. If you hope or expect to get kissed or have sex, you're on a date. If you hope that he thinks you look good, you're on a date. It's pretty simple....

Hanging out is really dating, except you are dating as friends and there is no intentions to go ferther than that in a relationship, and it's not really a special outing, whereas a date is... Does that make sense? I hope this helped!

4 me I dont think its all that different really, I mean you'll be spending time with someone that you are very fond of & vice versa and it makes the day or evening alot more special.
Cause you can just hang out with your boyfriend and have a good time like catching a movie or just chilling out yknw???
As opposed to spending time with friends yknw?
I hope that helped in some way

If you are just platonic friends it's probably just hanging out together, but in the case of a romance, it's classed as a date.

hmmmmm...good question
if you are married do you not hang out with each other all the time
i'm guessing if there is a possibility of kissing and sex it would be a date, hanging out would be with more than one person, (male or female), spending a lot of time with just two of you....gotta be several dates
