Sounds fun

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, then it is a duck.
If it sounds (like) fun, then it is fun. Actually, no, this is NOT a statement you want to hear. Ever.
This is the phrase a girl you want as a girlfriend will say to you if she turns you down. This is commonly used in conjunction with an excuse to turn down a first or second date.
This statement is rarely used when a girl actually shows interest. A rule of thumb is that the more general the statement, the harder of a no it is.

Fred: Let's meet up for a coffee!
Sara: Sorry, I am very busy. But it sounds fun, though. We should plan something for the future.
Fred: Okay.
Red flags to notice -- "Sorry I am very busy" - Cliche excuse, and very general. "We should plan something for the future" - Again, way too general.

Accurate translation:
Sara: Forget it. We need not plan for the future. i.e. you have been friend zoned.
Fred: Meh. I'm not your friend. Why want me as a friend when you disparage me and think I'm not good enough for you? I can just have a friend who actually respects me for who I am over you.
