What about seeing someone in the near future? What does that mean?

[VirginiaBeachBum]

My business has a definition of "near future" plans. It's a 6 month window from now.

Thanks.

[VirginiaBeachBum]

Since it's my business, it's my definition. Six months.

[Asker]

I see.

[OlderAndWiser]

The meaning is very dependent on the context and who is making the statement.

[Asker]

Thanks. Can in the near future mean in a few days' time?

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, but it could also mean the next 10 years, and sometimes it is an empty promise (simply meaning "not now.")

[Asker]

Excellent answer!

[InsurmounTilda]

For me it's within the next few days

[Asker]

I see. Thanks.

[InsurmounTilda]

Depends on context I guess, but generally a few months.

[Redstang88]

In that case, maybe within a couple weeks.

[Redstang88]

Really will vary on between people though

[Maypai]

In the next 6 months.

It honestly depends. For me most likely a few weeks from today. Possibly even a few days.

[Asker]

I see. Thanks.

[hmtr23]

i usually interpret it as a month or two

[Asker]

Thanks.

[hmtr23]

same time frame for me I mean in all reality it is time specific to each person differently

[Asker]

I see.

[LittleAmyP]

Tomorow

[Asker]

Really? O. o

[LittleAmyP]

It's near and also in the future ^^ maybe a week later but not longer than a month i guess

[Asker]

Then why don't just say tomorrow instead of the near future?
Thanks.
