Your Perception of this Statement?

This is really just a curiosity question, as I've concluded what I think of it (I'll divulge the story after I see some replies)...

But, what would your perception be if you asked a friend (not a close friend just a acquaintance-type friend) to do something with you on a specific day/evening and he/she said "let me see what's going on and I'll call you back tomorrow?"

I would think that he/she had to check their calendar.

its happened to me. you mean a male friend? Ive had to ask several guy friends on occasion to be my 'stand in' date for functions. and ive gotten that response. they usually have to check on things.

so they get back to me and they can either go or not go.

My perception is just they need to check their schedule. no biggie.

if its just a meet up type thing and not a specific function and they replied w/ that, i'd think they wanted to double check their schedule, etc....

Just a simple reply i guess

I agree with Sheri...nothing to read into that. Just needs to make sure they do not have any plans already.

I used to just say, "Yeah, sure" when people would invite me to do something.

THE STORY (not necessarily an exciting one though):

"Dude" and I determined that since we were both on the same page about not wanting to date, there was no reason we couldn't hang out as friends. He called last night to see what I was up to this weekend. I told him that I had finally gotten a copy of my friend's film and planned on watching it on Friday night and asked if he wanted to watch it with. The aforementioned statement is what he came back with.

I'm impressed that all of you just felt that schedule had to be checked. My instant thought was that he'll hang with me if nothing better comes along between last night and sometime today/tonight.

Granted, it's not a big deal---just something I was curious to see how others would react to.

knowing the history you've had with dude, i'd say that its a lil of both. if something better comes up and checking his schedule in general.

i dunno, i think you should cut dude loose. He doesnt really deserve to hang out with you IMO. What are you getting from him? other than flakiness and just a call every now/then?

He said, "let me see what's going on and I'll call you back tomorrow?"

My translation: "Let me see if I have something I'd rather do with someone I'd rather be with. If there's nothing going on, I'll think about it."
