Does "we should definitely do that sometime" mean she's interested?

Usually she's interested in the idea but not yet willing to set a date. That's a real signal, though not a commitment. Look at whether she added anything specific or asked a follow-up question. Those point toward real interest. A bare line with nothing after it is more often a polite close. Either way, the best response is a small, concrete suggestion that lets her say yes easily.

How long should I wait before following up on a vague plan?

Give it a day, or two if you both seem busy. If she's still quiet after that, one short follow-up a few days later is fair. Refer back to the original idea and keep it light. If there's still no real engagement, let it go. Repeated follow-ups tend to make people pull back rather than commit.

Should I ask her directly if she actually wants to hang out?

A direct question can work if the rest of the conversation has been warm, but it can also feel like pressure. A safer option is to propose a specific plan and let her response answer the question. A clear yes, a counter-suggestion, or a vague reply each tells you what you need to know without asking her to justify her interest.

What if she keeps saying "we should do that" but never sets a date?

A pattern of warm words without follow-through is a signal in itself. Make one clear, specific offer with a real date or timeframe. If she still doesn't engage, you have your answer. It's better to find that out early than to keep waiting on a plan that was never going to happen.

How to Reply When She Says "We Should Definitely Do That Sometime"

Reply to a vague "we should definitely do that sometime" without sounding needy or letting it die. Read the signal and move it to a real plan.

Read the situation

"We should definitely do that sometime" is a common way of saying yes in the abstract while keeping the concrete commitment off the table. She might really want to hang out and just not want to be the one who pins down a day. Or she might be being polite on the way out of a conversation. You usually can't tell which from the words alone, so your reply has to do the work of finding out without making her feel cornered.

Most people make the mistake of treating the vague line as a yes they can cash in. They reply with a question about when, or they send a long message about how much they want to see her, and the mood shifts from easy to heavy. The other mistake is agreeing and then going quiet, which lets the plan evaporate.

A good reply accepts the warmth in what she said, puts one concrete option on the table, and makes it easy for her to say yes or no. That way the vague line either becomes a plan or quietly tells you where you stand. Both outcomes are fine.

Reading a yes that has no date on it

A vague line like this usually means she's interested but doesn't want to be the one who sets logistics, or she's leaving the door open without committing. The way she phrased it tells you a lot. "Definitely" and "sometime" pull in opposite directions. She wants you to know she's not shutting it down, but she's not ready to put a day on the calendar.

Context helps you guess which. If she asked a follow-up question, mentioned something specific you could do together, or used your name, she's leaning in. If the line came at the end of a conversation with nothing after it, it may have been a polite exit. You don't need certainty. You need a reply that works under both readings.

Make the next step small and specific

Take the abstract idea and turn it into one concrete, easy thing. Pick something you both actually mentioned, like the place she brought up or the thing you were already talking about. Attach a rough timeframe that's close but not pushy, like this week or a weekend.

Then leave her an easy way out. A question with two clear options, or a simple suggestion she can accept with one word, lowers the cost of saying yes. You're not asking her to plan the evening. You're handing her a small decision she can make in five seconds. Keep it light enough that a no costs her nothing.

The silence afterward matters more than the text

Give her a fair window to reply, usually a day, maybe two if you're both busy. If she answers with enthusiasm and a day or time, lock it in quickly and confirm the details in one message. If she replies vaguely again or says something warm without engaging with the plan, that's your answer. Let it rest.

If she doesn't reply at all, send one short follow-up a few days later that refers back to the original idea. Nothing heavier. After that, drop it. Two unanswered attempts is enough. Pushing past that turns a pleasant exchange into something she has to manage.

Do not send

Why these replies fail

“Yes!! When are you free? I've been wanting to see you again”
The double exclamation and the open "when" make her do all the logistics, and the second sentence raises the emotional stakes faster than the moment supports.
“Totally, for sure, we should”
It agrees with the words and offers nothing concrete, so the plan has nowhere to go and fades by default.
“Sometime works. Tuesday, Thursday, or next weekend, pick one”
Three options with a demand to choose makes her feel put on the spot and turns a loose idea into a task.

Avoid these

Common mistakes

Asking "when?" in a way that makes her feel like she has to produce a date on the spot
Replying with a long message about how much you enjoyed her, which reads as more intense than the moment called for
Agreeing with "for sure!" and then waiting for her to restart the plan
Suggesting a bunch of vague options so she has to choose and feel responsible for the decision
Treating a vague line as a commitment and bringing it up again three days later with pressure
