'Hey let's grab lunch sometime?'?

[Dude_1820]

When you see someone you haven't seen in a while, and you say let's grab kunch, is it just a social thing to sound good like you want to but won't actually follow up or something really want to?

I've heard people say it just to be nice. My personality though, I mentally add it to my to do list and work to make it happen.

Sometimes I don't realize it was just said ti be nife

Could go either way. They may contact you n the near future, or you may never hear from them again.

"I mentally add it to my to do list and work to make it happen."

Yep, exactly. If you want it to happen, you have to make it happen. I've moved around a lot, and lost many friends and acquaintances because we didn't put in the effort to keep in touch.

Instead of second guessing that they meant, decide for yourself if you want to keep in touch with the person. If the answer is yes, then make it happen. If they blow you off, then you'll now the answer. It's also possible that they give another ambiguous reply, so you still don't know. That's how it goes. It won't be the last time.

Good to know thanks! This ties into something going on with the girl I know. Long story short, I think she might actually want to get lunch

I would never say it if I don't really mean it. There's always a chance another person might take it seriously and then I'd really have to go grab lunch with them.

[NobodyKnowsAnything]

If I say it I normally mean it. But I see all of my friends every day at school so I don’t often have to deal with it.

[AnnieBabe]

I wouldn't say let's grab lunch sometime if I'm not planning to grab any lunch anytime soon.

I have done it both times and have had it done to me both times.
