Is that incorrect? Maybe the person who asks the question wants to refer whether the other person wanted to come or not.
That's incorrect.
You say... don't you.
The tenses in the original are strange though.
You say you don't, don't you?
You said you didnt, didn't you?
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
