If you're going out with a male friend just to chill (0% romantic interest), it's a hang-out too?

For instance if I got out with my female friends, I'm hanging out and chilling. If we go out to eat, we pay for our own food. No one invites anyone.

Same thing with a male friend. It's clearly established there is 0% romantic or sexual interest. It's not a date and if we're going out eating, we pay for our own food too.

If you're just hanging out and chilling with an opposite sex friend (same as with your same sex gendered friends), it can also be called a hang-out?

I can not imagine why would one overthink a relationship with clearly established boundaries unless they are not shared by both parties. I do know that a guy does not befriend a woman without a felt attraction. And, no woman is friend with a man unless she likes him in some capacity.

I do know men that were good friends with women at the cost of primary relationship. Friend heard and received all the emotions that their boyfriend should have been receiving. The friend eventually came clean in their desire for the Bestie.

If there is a guy that you have a crush on that is not the guy above then you are probably making a wrong move. I would not date you with a guy that I knew I would have to share you with.

Does it matter what you call it? Just enjoy the company , it does not need to have a name , who remotely cares?
