Ladies,
this is something guys say just to lead you on. They don't really want to. They just say it. Sometimes not even to get into your jeans, it's often used just to be nice, even though they really don't want to hang out with you. So remember this the next time some random, or even a guy you know, says this.
Guy: Yep, Im goin to the game tonight.
You: Thats cool, I might show too.
-----------few minute silence--------
Guy: Uh, we should hang out sometime.
You: Sorry! i know what you mean when you say that, thanks to urbandictionary.com

A sentence used as a polite way to brush off someone you've been having a conversation with for more than two minutes. There's no intention of ever actually hanging out with the person. It's just an easier way of saying, "I have to go. Bye now."
A: You've really done a lot for this community.
B: Heh... I guess you can say that.
A: Without your efforts, we'd still be in crippling debt.
B: Mhm... Yep.
A: How were you able to pull all this off in such a short amount of time?
B: Hey, we should hang out some time.
A: Oh... Yeah! Sounds good! What days are you off this week?
B: See you around.
