Pick someone up

Hi
In the context of dating. If I say, I'll pick you up at 7, for instance .It doesn't necessarily mean I'll drive a car or ride a motorcycle to her place and pick her up, does it? Could it be used to say that I'll be at her place by that time so we go together to let's say watch a movie?

Well, as a matter of fact, the phrasal verb 'pick somebody up' means that you'll come in your car to collect somebody who's waiting for you. Regards!

There are two parts that need to be met: It's giving the person a ride/a lift, but it also means that you will travel to where that person.

I can give someone a ride home from work. That's not picking them up.

If I give someone a ride TO work, I pick them up at their house.
