Something/Anything
Hi. I have this piece of dialogue...
Please let me know if you want to do something.
Do you have anything in mind?
I don't know. Maybe we could go see a movie or something.
My question: Is the 'anything' natural and a better option than something in sentence 2?

- 'something' often suggests that the speaker believes that the other person really does have something specific in mind, but the difference between 'anything' and 'something' in this sentence is really very slight and nothing to be concerned about.
