US Business Culture: Let's Have Lunch Sometime!
Americans have a terrible habit of trying to cut off an overlong conversation by saying, “Let’s have lunch sometime!”
This sometimes has variants, like, “Let’s have a beer sometime!” or “We should definitely go for a hike sometime.”
Danes don’t always understand that these are very fluffy promises. The speaker doesn’t always have the intention of actually making plans for these activities.
If you really do want to get together and have lunch, you may have to follow up yourself.
