Talk to you soon

You usually say this at the very end of a chat. It works perfectly for phone calls, voice notes, or text messages. In person, you can say it while walking away or hanging up. You don't need to set a specific time or date. It is a flexible way to keep the relationship moving forward. Just drop it in right before you leave.

Use it when you actually plan to speak again within a few days. It is great for friends you see often. It works well with colleagues you like. Use it after a quick phone check-in. It is perfect for ending a text thread before you go to sleep. Use it when you want to sound approachable and kind. It makes the other person feel valued.

Don't use it if you are never going to speak again. That would be quite awkward! Avoid it in very formal legal settings. Don't use it with a stranger you just met on the street. If you are breaking up with someone, this is a bad choice. It gives false hope for more contact! Also, avoid it in a serious apology or a funeral setting. Keep it for light, positive interactions.
