8 'Wanna go out?'

Alright, so there is another thing that's bothering me. It's people saying, "You wanna go out?"

I understand that I said this in 7th grade but I'm finally starting to think about it. Honestly, it makes no sense whatsoever. I'm pretty sure the outcome is dating, not 'going out'. 'Going out' is kinda odd to me.

What are we supposed to call it. More importantly, how are we supposed to ask someone?

"Hey, wanna DATE me?"

No.

"Hey, wanna be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Meh.

"Hey, I'm freaking out right now and I have no idea how you're going to react to this question."

At least that last one was honest.

I guess 'going out' will have to do for now.
