I stand there for a second and reply:

They usually hate me at that point but seriously, a negatively asked question results in yes being no and no being no.

Coming from a communications background I believe the correct response would be:
"No, I do want to go"
or
"Yes, I don't want to go"
there are definitely easier ways to word it though haha.
