I've noticed a tendency for people asking someone else out for a date to create plausible deniability by ostensiblizing the invitation by adding the word "sometime" as if they hadn't already thought about the details.

Ah yes, great point!

Well, shit. I was hoping to learn something to stop me panicking every time someone invites me to stuff, but all i learned is that the panicking is justified.

Follow through on all invitations. Be a menace. People will have to learn not to invite you if they don't want you there.
