You seem to be second guessing yourself a little. What if you realize she may be right, would you make any adjustments? On the other hand, if you feel she was speaking out of the side of her neck, don't give it another thought. It could have been perfectly innocent on her part with no offense intended, maybe not the most tactful thing to say to someone you really don't know.
My friends say that to me all the time. I guess I can get a little distracted and most of my projects/interests are very solo in nature. They don't understand that sometimes I want to stay home and read instead of going out and drinking, especially considering I rarely meet people out in the 'real world' that I get along with. Most people that I come in contact with just aren't that interesting... I have no interest in celebrities or the newest reality show and the only sport I watch is baseball. I always get really excited if I meet another person who has similar interests but I can count on two hands how many times that's happened.
yes that is quite offensive to be honest. what is one supposed to do, prepare in advance a wide range of topics with which to converse to keep the other happy? c mon
im out every day of my life. i would just say "ok" and go on with my life.
if you know its not true there really isn't anything to take offense too, and if it is true.....well its true big deal.

Yeah but notice how a lot of sensitive people are the most insensitive jerks to other people?
Anyway yes, I get this often, and no, I don't get offended over it, because it's true, although it does get a bit repetitive. Of course I won't let other people dictate my life, everyone has different needs for socialisation, but someone who spends 6-8 hours a day on city data probably does need to get out more by ANYONE's standards.
The lady seems to be a social butterfly. Obviously she likes you in that she came back to hug you before she left. Why not call her and invite her to get out more with you?
She was planning to leave then and gave me a hug and said "You need to get out more".
while she was still in my arms (assuming you return the hug) I would have jokingly asked pulling slightly back with a tilted head... (still hugging her)
Now xxxx... (then smile) are you asking me out ? huh huh... (laugh and added) maybe you're right!
I'm game if you're doing the "getting me out..." call me at my man cave anytime.
(all said before the hug ends).
The statement loses its offense (to you) and is now an inside joke between you both?

Would you be offended if an acquittance told you this?
If it's true, why be offended?
Did you feel she was being mean spirited? If not, why be offended?
