Am I going on a date?

How do you know your going on a date or if it's just two people hanging out as potential friends?

I only ask because my crush asked me to hangout. My intuition is telling me he's also into me, but I hate to make assumptions. We never really talked before this, so I don't know if he see's me romantically or not. He's always been friendly to me, but we never talked until I started initiating conversations with him.

He seems excited to meet me, this will be the first time we've ever really "hung out" not to mention it will be "one-on-one". He's the one who made the plans if that matters.

Is it a date?

    I would just say...don't make any assumptions quite yet. See it as an outing with a friend and check for signs of flirting. He'll make it pretty clear if he's into you. Good luck!

    Can you answer my question too?

    /question/index?qid=20141...

    Edit - Thanks for answering my question. I feel like I barely wrote anything for yours and you spent a long time to give me a quality answer.

    Date: I think the guy would be a lot more flirty (touching, eye contact, remarks that might signify he wants "more") and might seem more nervous, since he wants to make a good impression.

    Potential friend: He wants to get to know you, but he might not delve into personal issues regarding your dating history. He won't "check you out" and he won't try to make physical contact with you. He's friendly, but not overly so.

    I think this guy may be interested, but as you said, you guys don't know each other yet. He might want to get to know you on a "friend level" before he decides to invest more time into you. To avoid getting hurt, it's best not to get too emotionally attached to him before you know his true intentions. I think his excitement for your hangout seems like a great sign, though :)

    I think it depends on what you're planning to do! If he takes you out to a movie or to get food, those are usually date activities. If he wants to stay in and do nothing or watch movies or something, that could really go either way and you'd just have to wait and see how he acts around you when you're together! It could very well be a flirtatious cuddly night in that scenario. But don't jump to conclusions or make assumptions as you said, you wouldn't want to get disappointed!

    Hahaha....if he doesn't offer to pay for anything, then no. You'll be able to tell afterwards, but usually when a guy takes a girl for 1:1 time...kind of a special thing...he's got a plan. lol Guys always have plans...he may see if you're someone he'd like to date by getting 1:1 time.
