So I'm reading this book, and in it two of the characters correspond with each other via email. Now these two characters aren't just random people who happen to pass by each other on the street one day and are sending casual correspondence. No...these two are ENGAGED! She just happens to be in India at the time, while he is home in The States.
So there've been a number of emails so far and the one that I just read left me screaming at the page. The male character ended his email with "Take care."
Take care?!?
These two are ENGAGED...living together...and all he can say is "Take care"???
That is a relationship pet peeve of mine. When I am in a relationship with someone and we end a conversation, or get ready to part from one another...there's got to be an "I love you" or a kiss, or a hug. Kinda like a "til we meet again" sorta thing.
But "take care"?!?
Nope. Sorry. That wouldn't cut it for this girl.
Who knows...maybe that's just ME being too "mushy" as "Joe" puts it. But hey...in the words of Popeye, "I yam what I yam."
How 'bout you? Let the DIALOGUE begin: Would YOU be okay with "take care" from your Honey, Boo, Significant Other, Spouse?
Talk to me!
Til next time...

For an email, I think its okay. Face to face i'd expect more? I think. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm probably just being extra sappy. I still think that for an engaged couple he should've ended with more than just "take care". By the way...I finished the book and the ending caught me completely off guard. I really enjoyed it. If you ever wanna join my bookclub, just let me know and I send you the details. The women are GREAT and the discussions are a lot of fun.
