Saying what you mean

It happens all the time. Someone says, "let's go out for coffee sometime," or "I'll text you this week," or "I'm planning a trip (insert place name here) in (insert time here), you should come too." But do they always mean it? Honestly, no. I'm sure I do it too, although I really have tried not to, because I know how disappointing it can be to find out they didn't mean in. I've found myself in foreign places at certain times because others said they'd be there at the same time I did... but apparently I was the only one that meant it. Then there are those who are always like, "come over for dinner," so I say, "love to, let me know what day works for you," and then never hear anything about it until the next time they say, "come over for dinner." One day maybe that dinner will happen!
I think it'd be much easier on the emotions and plans of others if we all only said these things if we genuinely mean them. Do you agree?
