To "go out" in this context refers to dating. When someone says they are "going out" with someone, this usually means that they are going on a date or they are dating that person. So to "go out" can mean to "hang out", but it generally implies that it is in a more romantic context. Ex: I'm going out with her tomorrow night. Ex: Him and I have been going out for a couple of weeks.
