Hook up vs hang out

could sb explain me a difference between "hook up" and "hang out" ?

1. I've been hooking up with John for 3 months
2. I've been hanging out with John for 3 months

Does it mean the same ? can I use it interchangeably ?

Hi ajdrian, To hook up with sb means to meet up and become friend with him/her, whereas to hang out means to spend your time with some people. So you can't use them interchangeably since they're a bit different. Regards, Iman

ajdrian1. I've been hooking up with John for 3 months
Some people would interpret this to mean "I've been having *** with John for three months."

"Hang out with" is much safer for general use.

Hello,

As long as i know, in these sentences

1. I've been hooking up with John for 3 months - basically means "I have been dating John for three months"

but

They hooked up yesterday - means they had *** yesterday.

2. I've been hanging out with John for 3 months - I've been spending time with John for 3 months. (friends, i guess).

They can't be
