<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

A bit of backstory: I'm a very lonely 18 year old who really hasn't had a serious relationship at all, as such I am quite clueless with ~~m~~any things involving romantic relationships.

This cute girl I've known for a couple years (when we first met she had a boyfriend, hasn't for a few months) asked me to hangout the other night. I came to visit her at work between being asked to hang out and hanging out (the exact words she said were "do you want to do something") and we really hit it off there (it was dead, she pretty much abandoned her job to sit with me and talk).

So then the next night we hung out, went to dinner (she said something like "...dinner **dates** are awkward"... all I heard was "date") and then went to the arcade/mini-putt/ferris wheel/etc. We did a bunch of things and had a great time.

There were a couple little "red flag"-type things I noticed, but I didn't really bother to actually think about them... just brushed 'em off (maybe that was my mistake.)

Anyway, fast forward a week or so and I asked her if she wanted to get together and do something. She sent me her busy schedule, and said maybe one night she'd be free... I was texting her the other night while talking to my friend, who was asked by her to hangout (*I was not...*). In truth, I always thought she was quite the little flirt, but I figured if she wanted to do something with me that she thought of me as more than a friend.

Anyway, now I woke up early to my friend who hung out with her telling me she's not interested, and a message from her asking if we can talk....
<bot>: I guess what I want to know is how to differentiate between a date and just hanging out... as well as what I did wrong... hopefully for next time.
