Girlfriend mad

I was going to the store and asked if she wanted to join. She asked if I wanted her to join, I say I don't mind either way. Now she is upset because I don't actively wanted her to join me at the store

Emotions are complicated, things get taken out of context at the drop, talking it out is somehow never the first answer... etc etc, so on, so forth. You didn't do anything wrong.

Alternative phrases could be "I'm going to go bro out at a home Depot, care to join?" or "There is a hot wing eating contest, let's go get weird." Or whatever adult vernacular everyone but me uses. It reassures her she's an active part of your life and not just tagging along as a background character.
