Overheard the phrase which sounded like "絶対について来ないでね。". I believe it means
'absolutely don't come/follow'. The speaker was actually hinting to follow
her. I'm just curious if my translation makes sense, and if I've spelled
things correctly.

question
translation spelling
"絶対について来ないでね。" as "Absolutely don't come/follow"
Yes, your translation is absolutely correct and 絶対について来ないでね literally means
"Never follow me".

But in some situations, 絶対にXするなよ can be taken as a hint of "Do X (at your own
risk)"! If native speakers encounter a girl who says 絶対について来ないでね in manga or
light-novels, they can instantly imagine the テンプレ ("template") story after
this: the boy who heard this would end up in following her.

The key word here is **絶対に** which is described
[here](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E7%B5%B6%E5%AF%BE%E3%81%AB%E6%8A%BC%E3%81%99%E3%81%AA%E3%82%88).
「[絶対に押すなよ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0FCgvLxeiM)」 is a famous joke by a
comedian group called
[ダチョウ倶楽部](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%80%E3%83%81%E3%83%A7%E3%82%A6%E5%80%B6%E6%A5%BD%E9%83%A8),
and they often used 絶対にするな somehow as a sign of "Do it".

Japanese people who know this background often make pages titled
[絶対に見るなよ!](https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%E7%B5%B6%E5%AF%BE%E3%81%AB%E8%A6%8B%E3%82%8B%E3%81%AA%E3%82%88),
which are actually intended to be seen by many.

If a real woman says 絶対について来ないでね, you'll have to determine whether she is
saying it seriously or jokingly. It can be extremely difficult even for native
speakers to tell what she is actually thinking.
