By 6 weeks she should be fine with affordable/free outings where you grab a quick bite to eat. The fact that she's implying that she requires expensive full-on romantic date nights is a concern.

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?
I think you sound lazy af, and a bit paranoid. She didn't make plans for you so you sat at home and pouted, and then got petty about the fact that she has male friends who actually came over? You sound like a bullet to be dodged.
If you want to make plans, make the plans. Halfheartedly suggesting hanging out at your place or hers is lazy af. You can suggest it, but if she doesn't take you up on it, pivot, bro. And stop being ugly about the fact that she has male friends. Only weakass immature men get petty jealous about a woman having male friends. Sounds like you have control issues. The red flag here is yours.

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.

This. Maybe not track them down, but come up with a similar alternative.
The guy friends is definitely about showing you that she has other options when you didn’t make plans.
You can step up your game or you can find someone else, but I don’t think she’s up for weekends with no plans other than hanging out.
Also this. If you can't plan a date after 6 weeks of dating and are resorting to "let's just hang out" and expecting her to fill in the gaps, you deserve to get dumped. Lazy af.

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.
