**Firstly, apologise it’s a girl thread.. Not seen one of these before have we..!!**

How would anyone interrupt a text message from someone they liked that ended with ‘nite take care x’

Reason I ask, was talking over text last night to a girl I’m sort of dating, meant to be meeting up Sunday, don’t normally do lengthy text conversations however last night one or two text messages were sent, and it was ended kinda suddenly with ‘nite take care x’. Pretty smooth on the girls part, as she certainly made sure she ended it leaving me with the ‘erm what did I say or did I do something’ etc scenario..

I just remember the last time I heard this from a girl was from my now ex, she said ‘take care’ as the last thing she said to me, and I never heard from her again.. In fact we both said that to each other..!!

Problem is, meant to be going out with this girl Sunday..!! Don’t mind chasing a girl, but don’t like chasing if I’m being brushed off.

Anyhow, question is… Is ‘take care’ a polite way for a girl to say ‘don’t bother anymore’? If you google this, you’d be amazed at how many confirm it is..

What’s OCUK’s take on this?

As for the girl, couldn’t care less if it is curtains. It was only a few dates, plenty more out there… However, I DO NOT want to call or contact confirming we’re still on for Sunday if it seems it’s a no go..!!

Or, maybe I’m over thinking as I always do.. lol
 
Stop over analysing it and just take it at face value....perhaps shes being courteous or polite...my fiancee always ends her texts with a take care etc etc.

If its bothering you that much then why not just ring her and ask her straight out....if shes a decent sort of lass she will give you a straight answer.
 
I only ever use it, and only ever have known it to be used in a friendly caring sense, no different to saying "have a good day" or "sleep well" etc. :p
 
I use it as an everyday "goodbye".

Also, have a proper conversation with her if you need to know, stop faffing about with texts.
 
look down between your legs, and ask yourself if you really deserve what's there, if the answer is yes then never post this kind of thread again. Falling in love/starting a relationship is meant to be all about uncertainty and the risk of heartbreak, it is not about seeking reassurance from an internet computing forum.

Hell no! Then she will realize that yes, this guy has infact been tortured by the content of her message and had tried to analize it meticulously for hidden signs, when in fact its just a polite term and the OP is mental.
 
Why don't you just ask her, jeez if you want to date her and all the relationship stuff that goes with it then at least communicate.

Just say, "are we still on for Sunday?"

Job done.


Sometimes I am amazed the human race has procreated the way it has, considering the amount of unnecessary hoops people put themselves through just to get laid.

The postie just delieverd a parcel to me and when he left he said "see you".

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!!?!
 
And, I post yet another classic ‘man up’ thread. Ooops.. I really, no really do need to get a grip of my over thinking. Its always plagued me when I’m not sure about something…

If nothing else its actually put my mind at rest and its educated me again – not offended with the replies. Cheers guys…
