Guys, what do you mean when you use 'let's?' Like 'let's keep in touch,' 'let's meet again,' let's do this, let's do that. Is that polite or lame? Or do you really mean to do the suggested activity?

 

Speak like a man!

You are thinking WAAAAAAAAY too much into this.

 

It means what it means usually.

Let's keep in touch means Let's keep in touch

Let's meet again means Let's meet again

Let's do this means Let's do this

 

Unless you continue to analyze each and every part of the conversation, then it's just going to be:

 

Let's keep in touch means I wanted to keep in touch, but you're over analyzing the situation, and I'm getting annoyed.

I agree with this.

You guys are hilarious. Thanks anyway. I'm asking because I've heard that from people who don't follow through with what they say. Then I start wondering the meaning of the word 'let's.'

"Let's" just means "you and I".... it puts some of the responsibility for the action on the other person

 

It's can also be a fairly open ended way to end a conversation without commitment.

 

Let's Have Sex... I know as a guy I have said this one.. Am I not speaking like a man when I say it ? :laugh:

So the onus is on the other person to set up the activity?

 

I assume that when you say 'let's have sex' to whoever it may be, you really mean you want to have sex with that person?

I agree with the other posters...I think you are reading WAY too much into this and analyzing this WAY too much.
