I would have asked her for specific date and time while both still away, and something nice like dinner out or theater. You are dating, make an effort.

She mentioned she’d like to see each other this weekend and I said I’d like that and that I didn’t have any plans so my calendar was wide open for whenever she’d like to get together. She said there was an activity she wanted to do together but their tickets were sold out. It said no need to do anything extravagant, I’d like to just spend time together. We could go to one of our places (we haven’t done this before).
She never made any concrete plans with me for the weekend, but told me about how she was with her guy friends all weekend including one who came over her place.
I was kinda put off by this. I’m dating for something serious and have been upfront about that. I get everyone has a life, but I feel like it’s a little bit of a flag that she didn’t fit me in at all. What do you think?

If you wanted a night in, you could have easily texted “let’s hang out Saturday night, I’ll bring takeout and we can watch that movie you said you wanted to see”.

Still, I think you dropped the ball when you suggested “one of our places” and did not follow up with anything more concrete.
1- inviting yourself over
2- before you have invited her to your place
3- maybe she has a roommate?
4- would you expect her to cook for you?
Why not offer to grab take out on Saturday night and suggest a specific movie to watch. Then, “Your place or mine?”
OP here. When I originally suggested staying in, I asked is she’d like to do her place or mine. She said she didn’t know. So I offered to come to her place, because she did a lot of driving with her friends the day before. I was going to surprise her and bring a dish I cooked that she said is one of her favorites.
