    Yeah I can see it being second base actually. I'm not used to the baseball analogy too well.

      "Hooking up" is the more ambigious term that might include copping feels and lots of other stuff.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        I thought "hooking up" generally denotes sex.

          It might include sex, but as I have known the term, it's much more ambiguous.

            The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

              "Hook up" is more associated with the conotation in which it is said

              If I said I was going to "Hook up with some friends" no one would assume sex

              If I said I "Hooked up with some broad" they might assume I meant sex

                  If you thought you were going to make out, and you just got kissed, you got ripped off.

                    Kind of but not quite. Blue prints were copies of orignal drawings. The copies were not placed on carbon paper but a diazo copying paper that is exposed and dthen subsequently developed in an ammonia vapor tray.

                    When developed all the lines, characters etc. had a distinctive blue cast to them while the rest of the diazo paper was plain white.

                          I might use this thread for my question on America.

                          What does going on a date imply. Does a date have to necesserily end in sex.
                          You can often see on a movie how the girl says "Are you asking me on a date?" as if date implies something more than just going out for dinner or whatever.
                          So what is included in a date?

                            Ive had that dispute with a coworker

                            apparently she believes you can have sex without it being a date... you can go out to dinner and movie and not have sex and it's a date.... she's messed up

                            a date is any occassion in which you go out with some with a) the mutual understanding that you are "out" with that person and b) that there is a potential for romance

                                it started because this dude I work with was dating this chick and she went and slept with his best friend, who also works her

                                she says they were never dating, though they were sleeping together
