I (26m) had been seeing someone (31f) on a casual but fairly regular basis (weekly to every other week). The holidays rolled around and we didn’t see each for a couple weeks because of that. She expressed an interest in seeing me “soon” this past Friday. I asked when she was free, and I didn’t hear anything all weekend. Monday comes, I checked in again and expressed some disappointment that I hadn’t been able to get a hold of her, but that I really wanted to hang out again. She replied this time, but expressed that she didn’t want to see me for at least a couple of weeks. She also declined to share when she DID want to see me next. This confused me a lot, because I thought that “soon” meant within a couple weeks, as opposed to being AT LEAST a couple weeks away. 31f also didn’t like “debating the meanings of words” with me, and so we mutually agreed that we won’t be seeing each other anymore. I think she decided she didn’t want to see me anymore (which is completely fine), but now I’m left wondering: do I just not know what words mean? I wanted to ask folks here to see if I’m in the wrong or not.
TL;DR does “soon” indicate a short time frame or an ill-defined, lengthy time frame, in the context of going out with someone again?
