In class, we know some Chinese people always like to say "OK! Let's go out for dinner together some day when you are free! " it's just to make a polite question to finish the conversation, we don't really mean we want to go out. For Taiwanese, the same situation also happened a lot. But for me, nomally when I say some thing like this to my friend, the conversation always goes like this. (Of caurse are close friends of mine)
A: "Hey! Come to my home when you are free, let's play some game together! And remember to bring your PSP!"
B: "Of course OK! How about now?"
A: "Ahhh...I am not f...."
B: "XXX, OK la! I will call you when I arrive!" "CO!"(Sound of hand up)
A: "......"
Actually, when they say the same thing to me, I some times response in this way too.
For teenager, in my opinion this is not a wired thing.
The other thing, one friend of mine though I can recognize his sound. we already have more than 2 years never confirm the id with each other when we got a phone with each other. It's still a very long time though we are very familiar.
