What does un día de estos mean?

ExpressionNeutro

one of these days — meaning never

The Spanish formula for promising without committing. Tenemos que quedar un día de estos is not a plan: it is a cordial way of ending a conversation. Everybody says it, nobody believes it and nobody takes offence. If somebody actually wants to meet, they will name a day.

A ver si tomamos algo un día de estos.

Warm, sincere, and entirely without consequences.
