meet and meet up
Hello,
I know this has been discussed a lot of times, but what I was told was "interesting". Is it true that:
1. Would you like to meet up on Monday? - would be said by a boy to a girl or vice versa. Really? One of my friends asked me a similar question the other day, and I am starting to get worried.
2. Would you like to meet on Saturday afternoon? - It apparently suggests a formal/business meeting. I am surprised. I hear it quite often in totally different contexts (no business whatsoever). I was told that the sentence should be followed by a clause of purpose/reason. I don't think that's true. Is it?
3. Would you like to meet me on Saturday? - I heard it was really odd and didn't make any sense at all. It makes perfect sense to me. What is wrong with it?

Gene931. Would you like to meet up on Monday? - would be said by a boy to a girl or vice versa. Really?It doesn't have to be. Potentially, anyone can say it to anyone.
It's also an example of the common habit of inserting "up" where it is not needed and therefore, wordy.

Thank you. Can't we use "Would you like to meet me on..." in the context below:
A: Hello, what are you up to?
B: Oh, nothing much. Just tidying up.
A: I am planning to spend a week in town. Do/Would you like to meet me on Tuesday?
Can't we just use it like that?
