  Yes if you think about it it does indicate a fair degree of familiarity. Meet up probably is a bit more correct.

  Great Question. Have pondered this myself. For me, much like yourself OP, I think catchup equals sex. Following.

  Catch ups to me are hang outs.....like I’ll go catch up with a mate and we just hang out at his place.... Wanna grab a coffee would usually mean I wanna get out of the house for a catch up...a cafe or something....I use this for it’s intended purpose and also for a first meeting...we should do coffee.... If I’m suggesting to test the waters of our connection my phraseology is usually “we should meet.” If I’m talking to my existing partner I’m much more blunt....

  Let's catch up = let's Netflix and chill. When they say bring "snacks" or "I've got snacks". You'll know exactly what that means. 😉 Ms Foxy

  It seems to be very common, Like you, to me it implies catching up with a friend or someone I know, not a stranger who has just made contact with you. It is very rare to be invited out for a coffee or wine. Even when that is the initial suggestion often it seems to change to "why don't we have a coffee or I can bring bottle of wine over to your place" The hidden implication that sex will follow is there and is the primary objective. I find it annoying really.. and of course the inevitable responses from either men on here or others is that this is a sex site so if you want to "date" go try E harmony etc etc. Even when I was part of a couple and we were exploring with others there was always the etiquette of at least an initial social meeting over a drink first to gauge interest and chemistry. It seems to me to be becoming more of a disposable inpersonal exchange rather than a possibility of a connection that leads to intimacy and even friendship. I'm aware that for some or even many that they are here just looking for sex and so they feel that "let's just cut to the chase" without the actual chasing happening so to speak. That's great if that's works for you. Be honest and upfront about it without the ambiguity. I feel it's becoming more complicated than it used to be, or it could just be that I have also changed.

  Sometimes, let's catch up means just that, let's catch up! However, I do have a great reply that is clear/direct and puts it back onto that person asking. Saves all that ambiguous BS. Ms Foxy

  On here I’ve always read it as a less than confident way of saying let’s hook up unless you state otherwise. That’s if I’ve never met them. Confident people would remove the ambiguity.

  To me catching up implies you know each other well and you were catching up on each other's lives. Like miss freaky and I. We catch up with each other when we meet and give each other the rundown on what has been happening in our lives. Does catch up mean something different in Aussie slang these days? I'm interested to know the phrase you use super foxy.

  It’s as ambiguous as “talk soon” or I’ll be in touch. Fuck that carrier pigeon, seems he drops the crumbs on the way 🙄

  Actually catch up to me actually meant coffee or a drink. I can understand to some this means for sex. I might change my vernacular around this because it obviously means different things to different people. From now on I think I will actually be more specific and say “would you like to accompany me to a fine dining emporium and we can share the worlds finest cuisine with complimentary liquors and deserts”. Does that suit all of the ladies in the room?

  I tend to go with “ would you let me buy you a coffee sometime or maybe a drink?”

  Asking for a catch up fir the first time should always be followed up with "with no expectations".
