One person is going somewhere – another person wants to, or might want to follow.

So, we have a leader and a follower.

These two sentences are offerings of accompaniment – but the first one comes from the follower, and the second one comes from the leader.

That is a little bit too literal.

I say to you – I’m going to a party
You say – that sounds like fun
I say to you – do you want to come with me?

I am the leader because I know where the party is, and you are following me to the party.
