How to reply to this text?

[Mark1]

Me and a girl have been talking about getting lunch/dinner for a few weeks now.

 

I texted her today saying, "hey I was going to go to X for lunch, would you like to join me?"

 

She replied, "Hey! Who else is going?"

 

WTF?

 

Does she WANT more people to go, or does she NOT want more people to go?

 

What should I say back?

lol Anyone?

She's telling you she's not that into you. Sorry. Answer: never mind.

She's telling you she's not that into you. Sorry.

 

This is what I suspected, thanks for being honest.

 

Should I not even reply, or tell her it was just meant as friends?

Reply and tell her anyone she wants to invite, and see if she wants to invite people. It's more subtle than it seems: if she was expecting a crowd, it's normal, and if she doesn't want one, she might not care to invite anyone.

Tell her "no one else is going, just me". I'm not one for closing myself out of an opportunity if there is something even slightly there. See what she says. Just don't put her on the spot with too much emotionality about anything.

Does not replying make me look like an idiot?

I would be more positive and not just assume its because she doesn’t like you. Just answer with a joke “So are you coming t lunch, just you me and Michael J. Fox”

Somewhat. Don't you want some certainty in this?

What about your previous experiences together? Has it always just been the two of you or have you been together as part of a group? (I am guessing it has sometimes been as part of a group--so she is simply asking which it will be this time).
