Is this awkward or rude?

I dunno I feel like “I’m doing a hike” kinda means “I’m hosting a hike” otherwise she would’ve invited differently, like do YOU wanna come hiking w me this Friday? That sounds like it’s just you. “I’m doing a hike” kinda means she’s holding one for others as well
@Kellie naw, i would say "I'm doing a hike at ____" to refer to just myself.
A bit as say Kellie. For me it does seems she was organising a hike and there will be other people in it. But I don’t often group hiking so maybe that’s why I am familiar with her way of talking. If I was on my own I would also have said who you like to come with me.
That would have been awkward for me. I met up w/mom once who said she was catching a ride to our meet up spot (zoo) w/another mom. But when she got there it was clear upon getting in that this other mom wasn't someone they were just "catching a ride" with but like hanging out with that same day. Often they walked ahead or behind me. Or stood away from me but together when watching the animals with the kids. I don't think she realized but after that I never reached out to her and vice versa. We didnt click in person, 🤣🤷🏾♀️. If we had i would have reached out to her about that situation. If you think she's cool and yall vibe but you didnt like the surprise I'd just say "hey, I wanna hang but I prefer 1:1 when getting to know someone".
I hate it when people do that, things like that have happened to me a few times. Get invited somewhere or make a plan with someone, next thing you know other people are turning up
I kind of read this as you invited yourself along instead of her inviting you to join her.
@Karen how is me saying "do you want to meet up" and her replying "im doing a hike at x spot and day" inviting myself? If someone asked you to meet up would you reply with something you're doing but they're not allowed to go to? 🤣
Omg my awkwardness couldn't have coped 😂
