When I tell a woman "let's hang out", it's my way of asking her on a casual date.
Ya know, a non-pressure setting to get to know each other.

If woman is looking for a solid deep committed relationship she shouldn't "hang out" with a guy, hang out is code speak for let me **** you and use your body but give me the freedom to dump your ass when something better comes along speak that guys won't really admit to, but really, it is if you break it down.

I don't know what "hanging out is."

We can meet at <location> on <date> at <time>. Yes or no?

I hate "hanging out" because I get confused. That is exactly my problem right now. I "hung out" with someone which means you are never sure if it is a date or not!

^^^^ Exactly.

I've never paid any attention to guys who've approached me that way.

I've never been the type to just "hang out" with a guy without a specific purpose. It's either we're dating or we're not. I've always dated with the goal that things would develop into a serious relationship, and I've always expected the same from whoever I was dating. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time.

Okay... how do you tell them that you want more than "hanging out"? If you say "I don't hang out", will they get that you want something more serious? Or will that just make them think you don't like them?

This. ^^^ So much this.

IDK, I've never had that happen, where a man wanted to "hang out" like he does with his buddies. Especially since it typically involved date-like behavior.

You flat-out ask for clarification: "Do you mean 'hang out' as in a date?"

I dont blame her for saying she doesn't hang out. Grown adults should not ask others to hang out if they intend it to be a date.

IMO, hanging out is something that teenagers do, occupy space together. My friend's daughter started college this year and was excited when she was asked on an actual date, instead of just to hang out with the guy, and told us she felt more grown up now. It was cute!

Hang out is too ambiguous and anyone who wants to date is best to avoid the phrase.
