Question about a confusing social rule that took me years to figure out
I never understood why people say 'we should get lunch sometime' when they don't actually plan to, and it took me about 15 years to realize it's just a polite way to end a conversation. I kept trying to follow up to schedule it, which led to a lot of awkwardness and confusion. Has anyone else had a similar experience with a specific social phrase that just didn't make sense?

My buddy actually tried to schedule one of those "we should get lunch" things for months.

Wait, you seriously tried to schedule those lunches for 15 years?

That reminds me of a group project in college that never got off the ground. We kept trying to pick a meeting time for like a whole semester. Honestly some things are just doomed from the start lol.
