Funny ways to say let's hang out

"We should hang out" is easy to say and hard to turn into an actual day. Here are 15 funny ways to say let's hang out, for texts and friends, a few dramatic declarations, mock-official invites from the Department of Doubt, and simple kind ones that always work.

For texts and friends

• "Want to hang out? I have no plan, but I have excellent company, and you are invited to be it." A plan, in a way.
• "Are you free this week? I have a strong urge to talk about nothing with you." The best conversations are about nothing.
• "Let us hang out. I have saved up three stories and one of them is nearly true." Two out of three is fair.
• "Hang out soon? It has been so long I have forgotten how tall you are." Please remind me.

Dramatic declarations

• "I hereby request the pleasure of your company. Casual clothes. Very casual." Formal invite, relaxed dress code.
• "Our friendship is due for its regular maintenance visit. Shall we book it in?" Friendships need servicing.
• "I have cleared my schedule for you. To be fair, it was mostly clear already." Still a kind gesture.
• "We have been "meaning to catch up" for months. Let us actually do it this time." Meaning to is not doing.

Mock official

• "The Department of Doubt has reviewed your social calendar and recommends one hangout, urgently." A professional opinion.
• "Notice: a gap in our friendship schedule has been found. Please fill it at your earliest convenience." Sounds like a form. Reads like an invite.
• "Form 124 invites the holder to one hangout, time and place to be agreed, fun guaranteed." Terms are very generous.

Simple and kind

• "We should hang out soon, are you free this week?" Always works.
• "Want to catch up soon?" Short and friendly.
• "Fancy meeting up this week?" Easy to say yes to.
• "I miss our chats. Let's get together soon." Warm and sincere.

Keep it light

1. Suggest a day. "Are you free Thursday?" turns a nice idea into a real plan.
2. Keep it low pressure. Make it easy to say "not this week, but soon".
3. Mean it. If you ask, be ready to follow up, or the joke becomes the plan.
