I don't read it that way at all.  I just read is as a laugh.  Either suggest a place or ask her to and see how it goes from there.

 

A few years ago when my father was in the hospital, his neighbor, whom I knew him to be close to, would text me and ask how he was doing.  When I would text back and the news mignt not have been too good, he would text back to me and always ended his texts with LOL.  When I mentioned it to my sister, she suggested an alternate meaning for it which would make more sense for the situation, so I assume that was it.


LOL = Lot's of love.

Yes, a family member thought that LOL meant "lots of love" and was mortified, when she found out it didn't.

You are reading to much into it. She said she can do it. Just pick a restaurant you want to go to and let your friend know what date and time. Dont make more of it than it is.

I wouldn't over think it.  Her words said she can do it so I wouldn't think about the emoji

.  I don't understand many of them either.

Re: How would you interpret this?

She sounds very condescending to me.

An old friend of mine came with DH and me one Sunday down to the Jersey Shore.  DH likes to fish and went onto the fishing pier, and we were right next to the pier out on the beach.  It happens to be a free beach, and there are lovely trees to sit under, in case it gets too hot, along with a boardwalk.

We were both working long hours and it was fun to run to this close spot on the weekends to relax.

My friend apparently didn't feel the same, she said, 'Well you certainly don't ask for much in life, do you?'

I wanted to say that no, it's not Malibu beach, but I didn't bother responding.  I also realized that she felt this was beneath her, or something along those lines, and didn't see her much after that.

@Travone  - I'm going with the same answer above.  Pick a location on your side and text her with the details.

Don't overthink it.  She could have hit the emoji by accident. Plan the lunch on your side of town and say nothing about her comment and emoji. If she starts something at lunch then you'll know where you really stand with her and you'll need to decide what you're willing to tolerate going forward, or not.
