Explanation: That is, on normal days, the skin is normal, but every time I go on a date, my skin has acne.

When you hang out with someone, it’s just a normal, neutral, and friendly event, with no feelings for each other other than 'just friends.' On the other hand, dating is something more serious, like considering whether someone is suitable for an intimate relationship, getting to know the real person rather than just summarizing what you know about them, etc. Simply put, dating is for two people who have romantic interest in each other to get to know each other on a more personal level, where the situation is not neutral and friendly but something serious.

Of course, many people approach the definition of 'dating' differently from others. For example, you might believe that hanging out and dating are the same (and that’s not wrong). Meanwhile, others may disagree with you and think that dating is about seeing whether two people are compatible, even if they are interested in each other. Typically, dating is more formal than casual hanging out.

Simply put, when you ask someone out on a date, they are very likely to think you are romantically interested in them for a potential relationship, where those who are only interested in you as friends would decline. For example, if you ask someone to hang out, you are asking to have fun with them from a neutral and friendly perspective, without involving deep and personal topics about someone’s life or pursuing an intimate relationship. Of course, with friendships, you will discuss deeper topics when you are really good friends, but understand that they ask those very deep questions to know you better, not to seek a potential partner in a relationship
