how does it sound rude? I mean "he and I" is just the switched in its position form of "I and he"

I edited my post. In fact, I didn't mean it sounds rude. I tought in Turkish, sorry. To summarize:
he and I --ok
me and he--- not perfect but ok,
he and me--- not used much.
I and he--- I even didn't encounter this before.

So does it mean that in english we can't use "I and he are going out", "He and me" is not english and "me and he" is for informal/spoken english. Is that the rule?
Thanks

Yes, don't use "I and he.."
"He and me" is very rarely used in English.
"Me and he" is not a perfect grammar. However, you can use this in spoken English.

By the way, I hope you know the difference between subject and object position. What I wrote before goes for the subject positon. Rules change for the object positon.
Object position:
He and I ---- not perfect grammar but it can be used in informally.
"He and me" and "me and he" are both correct in this positon.
"I and he..."
Object position:
He and I ---- not perfect grammar but it can be used in informally.
"He and me" and "me and he" are both correct in this positon.
"I and he..."

ok got it. you mean like this " he called me and he" and "he called he and me". Are those what you mean?

Anthon in your sentence, "he and I are going out" is subject positon because "he and I" is the subject of the sentence. Follow the rules for the subject positon for this sentence. Object position is an additioanl information for you. BUT, "I and he are going out" is always wrong no matter whether it is object or subject position.

Here is my two cents:
He and I are going out. => Grammatically correct and also common usage
I and he are going out. => Grammatically correct, but I don't think it likely that a native speaker would use this word order.
Him and me are going out. => Informal usage
Me and him are going out. => Informal usage
He
