Get It Done Guys...

so this will be short and mostly ridiculous because i have to rant. i've noticed lately that there's been this trend among the guys in our generation (yeah i sound like a grandma right now), where they use the term "hang out". um, i'm sorry for being slow or dull, but what the heck is that supposed to mean? i've mulled over that little annoyance for a few days, and realized something. this could be wrong, and it probably is, since i cannot understand guys for the life of me, but "hanging out" seems like it's a risk-free way of asking someone on a date. if you ask a girl on a date, there are so many things on the line. you are usually expected to pay, and then there are all of the stigmas that go along with a date. if the girl refuses a date, then it's because she isn't interested (unless she reschedules...). if a girl says no to "hanging out" then no harm, no foul right? because with "hanging out", there's no risk involved. if the girl doesn't want to hang out, then it's no biggie, because friends hang out. anyways, i've just been frustrated by the idea of "hanging out". i think it's dumb. if it's in a group setting, then that's fine. but i think i've officially decided that one on one "hang outs" are lame.
