What is hang out vs date?

Hang Out:

• Hanging out refers to spending time with someone, generally in a casual atmosphere, without a specific plan or intention to develop a romantic or intimate relationship.
• It may be as simple as spending time together with friends, which involves no particular effort to impress or woo the other person.
• Hanging out is relatively less formal, less structured, and less stressful. It offers more opportunities to relax and be oneself without any pressure to impress or behave in a certain way.
• The activities involved in hanging out may vary from watching movies, playing video games, going for a walk, shopping or just chilling at home.

Date:

• A date is a planned meeting between two people, with a romantic or intimate relationship in mind, to evaluate the possibility of a future relationship.
• A date is typically a more formal, structured, and often predetermined occasion, where both participants dress up and try to make a good impression.
• A date often involves spending money on activities such as dinner, movie, concert, or other events that both participants enjoy.
• The primary motive of a date is to get to know the other person on a deeper level and explore the possibility of developing a romantic or intimate relationship.
