It Means You Have Sex, But You Arent Dating “They do not see the relationship as anything serious,” says Conti. “I think, for a lot of people, hanging out is another way of saying youre just hooking up,” one 27-year-old woman shared. They probably just want to spend time in their apartment and have sex.”

What does it mean when a guy says we are hanging out?

It means the guy is doing something with you, but not even sure he wants to admit to dating. Mostly used if the guy is worried it might get back to some other girl he likes more, or to guys that would disapprove of him dating the hang out girl.
