I was making a sarcastic joke. Maybe it was a disrespectful joke..but oh well.

Of course I was not kidding that I don't date these types though...but can I make a sarcastic joke about the type I would never date?

touche.

I don't see the point that you are trying to make
You would really take a girl seriously who was always available at the last minute to "hang out"?? I'd be worried if she even has a job!

The topic was about last-minute invitations to hang out. Follow the convo backwards, and you'll see we started by saying that doesn't work.

If you like me and we've been 'hanging out', you'd better ask me out on a real, actual date before anything happens. We can be friends, but there will be no 'relationshippy' or dating things happening if that's going on. I think that's the big difference, many people go from 'hanging out' to a full blown relationship and to me that seems odd.

If we're hanging out, we're friends. If you want some sort of relationship then you'd better be asking me out on a real date and going from there.

Why must we always jump to the most absurd conclusions?
Did I post anywhere about expecting the person to always be available?

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Just like planning things in advance.

I'd not advise someone to ALWAYS make last minute plans. But there's nothing wrong with doing it.

I still don't see what the difference is between hanging out and a real date.

Is hanging out casual and a date formal?

If so, why is a formal date required?

*By formal and casual I'm talking about type of dress, atmosphere of the location, etc...

still..we are not going to be available much of the time. And the only time I let guys spontaneously hang out with me is once he is my boyfriend...but he has to be the one coming to me if I'm in the middle of something. I think that's fair.

WTF fair?

If you were getting to know a guy and he called you up and said, "hey, a some of my friends and I just decided to go [insert activity that you would enjoy] and I'd like you to come", you would decline even if you wanted to go and could go just because it's 'spontaneous' and he's not coming to you?

Why?

What's the difference between: (a) "Hey, I'm taking the boat out tomorrow, you want to come along, invite some friends?" and (b) "Would you like to go out tomorrow, like maybe to the lake on my boat?"

What is the more interesting offer?... asking you to hang out with me, or me asking you out on a "date"?
