Re: I had a thought:

One reply and a misunderstanding already xD If you are out doing something with friends and meet someone, you are approaching them with conversation and activities. You're just not on a date to specifically try out that person as a partner. By using the idiom hook up I wasn't saying it necessarily means meeting and immediately kissing and having sex. It's just that you guys have no word (that I know) for how it happens here.

Re: I had a thought:

Hmm...this does seem hard to communicate, lol. I guess we don't see dates as trying out what a person would be like as a partner. It's just like doing something with a new friend, except there's an assumption that you're attracted to each other. Most of what we do on dates, especially first dates, is exactly the same stuff we do with individual friends.

Re: I had a thought:

Yeah, the thing is, I know how you do it, but it is hard to explain how we do it. Like, we're already out at a party or bar or park or wherever. We're already doing something. And then you meet someone or start talking to someone you already knew with flirty intentions and continue doing that activity with them. Kissing might or might not ensue. sometimes you flirt with a person several times at separate occasions before it happens. You might go to a bar expecting to meet them again there or even say 'hey, I'm gonna be at X next Saturday' but you don't actually make a date and go together.

Re: I had a thought:

More indirect, it seems like? Except it sounds like there's more kissing in public?

Re: I had a thought:

[(Anonymous)]

Hmm, maybe? I'd say it's more like you said upthread, that it's done in a group setting instead of individually. Though you might be alone in a bar, it's a group setting if you didn't go there with the person you hooked up with.

The usual thing is that you're there talking to someone (and if it works, kissing them and making out) and your friends are around, talking to you and stuff. The new couple might disappear or move away temporarily for more privacy. It depends if your friends are cool with it or not.

And yes, definitely more public kissing involved.

Re: I had a thought:

[inkdust]

Haha, yeah Americans aren't much for kissing in public. The scene you described does happen here, but that's interesting that it's the norm there. Cool to learn.
