In dating and social circles, the phrase can sometimes be ambiguous. Some see it as a genuine sign of interest, while others view it as a polite "social nicety" that doesn't always guarantee a follow-up.

"I’m looking forward to it!" (Note: "I'm looking forward to" is less formal than "I look forward to").

: Use this with friends or someone you're excited to see again. "Can't wait! See you then."

The best response often mirrors the level of interest or professionalism expressed by the other person:

"I had a great time too. Let's get something on the calendar." "See you soon! I'll text you [day/time] to coordinate." Perspectives on "See You Soon"

“I never had any luck when I guy said "see you soon" or "take care". It usually meant that they were casually saying "I'm not really interested" without actually saying it.” Quora · 8 years ago
