Translate please:
Voules vous rende vous avec moi?
Someone wrote it to me but I don't understand French.

If it were spelled like that:
Voulez-vous un rendez-vous avec moi?
it would translate:
Do you want a date?
(Do you want a meeting with me?)

Correct answers above:
#1 - Do you want to go out with me?
#2 - Do you want [to go out on] a date?
#3 - Do you want [to make] an appointment?
The first two sentences are obviously more personal, while the third might be used in a business context.
The thing to remember is that you don't translate individual words; you translate a thought, an intention. You have to ask yourself, what was the speaker's intention, what did he/she want to express? Then you say it or write it the way a native speaker would.
FOLLOW-UP
First, don't believe Y***B***: no French speaker would ever say, "voulez-vous rendez-vous." They might ask, "voulez-vous UN rendez-vous?" to enquire if you want to make an appointment. Second, in everyday French, a "rendez-vous" is just a prearranged meeting; if someone wanted to suggest that you meet them somewhere, they might ask, "voulez-vous qu'on se rencontre quelque part?" It's mostly in English that the French word "rendez-vous" takes on a romantic connotation. So, third, I do agree that the writer of the note is probably an English speaker trying to ask for a date in a romantic way.
Now, can we ALL agree that this question has been answered and that it's time to move on?!?

The last two words, AVEC(with) and moi(me) are spelled right, but the others are not. Un rendavous(i spelled it worng) means a date or an appointment.

look: "date" in French is different of date in present day English (assembly); it ability "some day", "sooner or later", "in a definite date / time". So I´d translate it as "might you bypass with me sooner or later?", not "might you date with me?". There´s a intense or risky difference, lol.
