When is next weekend?
Its Monday (3rd Jan), and someone says to you (via text) I'm not working next weekend, lets meet up on Saturday - would you think that was the 8th or 15th?

Next weekend is the one after the one that's coming first. Edit: 15th if your dates are right.

People are stupid and use "Next" and "This" so incredibly wrong sometimes.
Ask yourself this: "How stupid is my friend?" If the answer is either "reasonably stupid" or "very stupid," then they mean the 8th. If the answer is "Not stupid at all," then they mean the 15th.
It was a first date, so don't know them well enough to judge yet
In that case, use the gender rule:
Woman = Stupid
Man = Not Stupid.
No, "This weekend" means "This weekend that's coming up." "Next weekend" is the weekend following that.
