My mother has told me many times in the past that hanging out one-on-one with a male friend would be considered "dating" and that she will not allow me to do that. Unfortunately, my friend group is mainly males, and I would like to hang out with some of them outside of school. Would you consider just "hanging out" with a member of the opposite gender as "dating", or against any church teachings, even if an adult is present? I am under the age of 16 by the way
