The conversation is good, but you need to go. Many learners just stop replying, and the other person feels confused. A short goodbye is kind.
Give a reason
A simple reason is enough.
I have to go now. Talk later!
Say something warm
End with a good feeling.
It was nice talking to you.
Leave a door open
Let us talk again soon.
If you are tired
I am tired tonight. Good night!
If the chat is too long
I will reply properly tomorrow. Have a good evening!
Do not vanish
One short line is better than silence. Silence feels like a closed door.
Words to remember
- end — to finish
- vanish — to disappear suddenly
- properly — in a full or careful way
