Quick poll to help me with a miscommunication issue

[TheSilentHam]

I just need a little help from my fellow-DTFers to vet out a recent miscommunication issue.  I won't give away my place in scenario.  I have listed two possible meanings - and I know there could be others, but I wanted to know which of the two options was most likely the meaning of the last statement in the following simple scenario.  I also know that there is not much context, but I wanted it to be evaluated at face value.


Person 1 was planning to meet up with Person 2 and few others for an all-day outing, and expressed plans to go.  A couple of days passed without discussion, but then Person 1 could not go due to other priorities.  So the following quick IM conversation took place, but quickly spiraled out-of-control over the meaning of "Hope you change your mind".

Person 1:  I am not going to go to the gathering tomorrow.
Person 2: Sorry you are not going.  Hope you change your mind.

I don't see any sort of context at all (given the information) that would lead to a thought of P2 wanting to be with P1. It could be based on anything...it could mean absolutely nothing and was a comment thrown to the wind to be polite.

[TheSilentHam]

Yeah, I know.  Unfortunately this was a quick IM conversation that had little information to go with it - which is one reason I don't like to rely on IM conversations when It would be possible to talk.  It really was almost this simple, I will edit to give just a little more context.

It's too vague to really give you an answer without a background about this relationship to this point.

[TheSilentHam]

Yep, I get it... that is part of the point about how miscommunications happen via IM/texting with little opportunity for context.  I just was wondering if you walked in on the conversation, which of the two would be a more likely meaning with just this information.  This may not work out, but thanks for the feedback.

I think it means "hope you change your mind." Trying to read more into it isn't going to help.

Its a courtesy. Person 2 is actually fucking stoked you are not going, now he doesn't have to figure out a way to ditch your ass at the beer garden

  Yep....that's the ticket.

Honestly, it sounds like person #2 was really hoping person #1 would be there.

Person 2 would have sent person 1 pics of their tits/dick if they were interested in a relationship.

If I may, I would like to describe my reasoning for the answer I have chosen with a brief metaphor.

So, there's this scenario where there are two people at a crowded shopping mall, and both approach a small ice cream shop at about the same time. Person #1 stops walking forward for a moment and says to person #2, "go ahead" while motioning one hand toward the line inside the shop. Person #2 says "Thanks  ".

What is the more likely meaning of "go ahead" ?

A. I'm in no rush, you may enter the line for ice cream before me, I don't mind.
B. HOLY CRAP ARE YOU JOHN PETRUCCI, THE KEYBOARDIST OF THE BEACH BOYS???

I got nothing to offer.  Just posting here as this has the makings of an epic thread.

Hope you change your mind.

So, you're saying you want to be with Ham?  And by that, I mean you're going to eat bacon for breakfast tomorrow?

Y'know, whenever I'm taking a break at work and thinking that DTF is a perfectly SFW site for a quick diversion, Chino is always there to remind me that I probably shouldn't be browsing DTF from the office lol
