Dating vs. Hanging Out

When you socialize with the opposite gender, do you consider that handing out or going on a date? This was apart of our class discussion last week and I felt impressed to write about the topic...

First dating, dating consists of the three p’s; Planned, Paired off and Paid for. Planned – the date should be planned out; it’s as simple as that. Not having a planned date can also show your date that you’re not putting time or preparation into them therefore not demonstrating an actual interest. Paired off – When asked on a group date that person who asked you on the date will be the person you spend your time with. Each couple needs to be paired off so there is no confusion of who is on the date with whom. Paid for – this doesn’t mean that each date has to be an extravagant thing. However, the person asking their date on a date needs to have the date ready and if something does need to be paid for is paid for.

Second is hanging out, hanging out is generally when sexual temptations can come into play and its not a time where others can “get to know each other better”.
