If not a date then what?
My guy friend (21M) and I (21F) have been talking for a while and decided to hang out. We went to a café, had drinks, he payed the bill, both of us dressed really well and put effort into our appearance and smell, talked for 3 hours, and we only left because the place was closing so they were gonna kick us out. He asked me if i feel safe enough to take the bus back home or if he wanted to come with me. Told me before leaving we should do this again. But this was a "hangout." I'm confused. What was this?? If not explicitly a date then what? Can anyone tell me please what to make of this? I'm lost. Is this casual between friends? This is the first time I go on one to one with a guy so i have no idea.
