There are two types of "you" in Spanish. Usted is for formal situations and people older than you. Tu is informal and people younger than you. The joke is that OOP doesn't know which "you" to use because dating is an informal situation but she's older than him.

Not necessarily everywhere though. In my region of Mexico nobody says "vos".
