if we're hungry, we go out and we eat. we both are comfortable, so it's usually somewhere fairly nice, not just burger king- just as an example. we go and do lots of things. i can't imagine where anyone would get it in their head to equate two friends hanging out and doing stuff to "dating". Dating, by it's nature and purpose, is for people who don't really know each other, to build a relationship- or at least a better bond- but always in a relationship capacity (even if it's just to be fuck buddies). Hanging out with a friend isn't even anywhere near the same purpose, the same activity, or anything. It's just odd that some people's homophobia comes out in suggesting that straight men hanging out should be called "man-dating".
Ridiculous. Just ridiculous.

You live together, you're obivously both closet homos. (That was heavy sarcasm for those who can't percieve such forms of humore over the Internet.)
Good thing Ms. Lee (Why is her middle initial 8?) wrote this article, otherwise I wouldn' thave known that I was supposed to feel insecure about it. I always thought it was male bonding (not male bondage, that probably is a sign that you're gay.)
