Gosh. Date? Although I've been in several enduring relationships, none of them started out with what people call dating. It was always just hanging out. Hanging out doesn't have the connotations of dating. You hang out with buddies, acquaintances, friends, even strangers you just met. And if you like each other you continue to hang out. And then perhaps at some point somebody offers a hand to hold or a kiss, and so on and so forth....
A "date" is something you get all excited and nervous about, at least that's how it looks on tv and in the movies. And you spend a lot of time primping and planning and maybe you go out and get some new fancy clothes. It's not so relaxed as hanging out is.
