When guys say "take care" at end of a date, it could mean that a guy likes a woman, but also could mean he doesn't?

[Anonymous]

I've read about the "take care" that guys say at the end of a date. I found that it could mean that the guy actually cares about a woman and wants her to take care, but it could also mean take care and see her never? Is that true?

I think that's confusing that how a phrase can mean 2 completely opposite intentions for guys.

A guy that I've been seeing, tells me "Take care" or "Take care okay" in low voice when we hug at the end of each date before we part. I got nervous in my mind (but do not express outwardly) whenever I heard him said that.

The most recent time I saw him I thought I heard him said it a few times, but not sure if I was just too focused on that phrase or he actually said it more than once.

If you think the typical guy thinks about the meaning behind 'take care' then you really know nothing about guys.

Then which guys have different meanings behind "take care"? The tricky ones?

[spartan55]

None of them do. You are trying to create an idea in your based on nothing.

[Asker]

There are articles on this "take care" as a farewell. It's not just me. I've even seen a similar question on Quora, and a guy answered that when he said "take care" to a woman, it meant that he didn't intend to see her again and "if ever."

Think what you want, it's a waste of time.

[Asker]

It's not just what I think; it's what I've read based on opinions of guy (s) 🤷🏻‍♀️

[spartan55]

Like I said, believe what you want.

Sounds like that’s just his go to goodbye line especially if you’ve been having dates after that. To me it sounds bland and not very nice.. but some guys just have no social skills which sounds like is the case here

[Asker]

Hmm 🤔 I'd say he is pretty sociable in texts and in person. I've also seen on his social media posts, he had a large group of friends in grad school

I say take care to most (if not all) of the patients I make phone calls regarding their conditions 😄

[Asker]

But it's hard to say. I don't know if he and I would meet after the most recent "take care" goodbye 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Advicewingtwim]

To the patients.. exactly. Again it seems like a robotic response. It seems not very personable. If I like someone I tend to be a little more.. affectionate in the way I speak to them. But I guess other clues would be.. does he look into your eyes and smile as he says it.. or is it very quick and no kind of look exchange

Don’t want to knock your hopes down.. just putting the facts out there on what you need to look for

[Asker]

It's actually while we're hugging, that was the first thing he said to me.

In the past, one guy had given me the "take care" goodbye as well on first date, but he playfully tapped on me with his index finger, so I could tell that was just the way he said goodbye. I didn't think too much. This same guy after second date texted me that he had been too busy with work and getting home at midnights, texted "take care" and that was a "take care see you never" text.

Just have to wait and see. If he sets up another date then great.. when do you expect the next date?

[Asker]

I don't expect next date anymore with any guy, since some guys could be so enthusiastic about me on a date, and ghost me all of a sudden... I expect date to happen when it is actually set up, and I don't expect when it'll be set up.

[Advicewingtwim]

Interesting.. are you someone who can get first dates easily but struggle for 2nd and 3rd dates? Would you say you’re very good looking?

[Asker]

I've been told that I'm beautiful, pretty, have a sweet smile, etc. and I have curves in my lower body from working out (I've been working out for over 10 years). I work my upper body as well, but guys usually wouldn't be appreciating a woman's biceps 😄 more often the butt and thighs

But I don't think look is everything. I think it's superficial to use looks to determine whether to go on a date or subsequent date with someone or not.

I was just making a general statement that I should not expect to have a next date until it's actually scheduled. Even then, that doesn't secure a date until that date actually happens. I've met this guy who would cancel at last minute or didn't follow through with the "date" that he had only "mentioned."
