mattyblast 0 #1 January 17, 2006 I got an e-mail from a girl that I know through a volunteer organization. Today she sent me an e-mail, thanking me for the volunteer work I did for her part of the organization last weekend, and it ended with "Have a great week!!!" That's three exclamation points. Now one exclamation point just means "I'm saying this because it's an appropriate way to close an e-mail." Two of them means "I'm really grateful for your work and it has been really nice to meet you." But what about three? You think three means "I've enjoyed meeting you so much that I'm hoping you ask me to meet you for coffee sometime?" Ladies? What would make you put three exclamation points on an e-mail like that? And yes, the reason I'd like to know is that this girl is adorable."DOOR!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #2 January 17, 2006 Actually, she had just gotten freaky with someone in the office, and his personal exclamation of joy ended in his happy fluids making her keyboard sticky. The shift and 1 keys got stuck. Sorry bro. (I was aiming for something else, but she ducked)cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiaKrembs 0 #3 January 17, 2006 Don't want to put a damper on this, but it is not uncommon for me to put 3 exclamation marks - I'm enthusiastic that way, it doesn't mean that I either like or dislike someone per say. Good luck with the girl!!! g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

narcimund 0 #5 January 17, 2006 Bubbly girls use an astounding number of exclamation points. I think the number of seconds they hold it down is somehow proportionate to their enthusiasm. One second: Baseline - normal operating levels. (Approx 3 - 5 exclamation points) Two seconds: Happiness and calm enjoyment (Approx 5 - 8 exclamation points) Three seconds: Excitement (Approx 7 - 10 exclamation points) Four seconds: Thrill or light flirting (Approx 10 - 14 exclamation points) Five - seven seconds: Sexual passion (Approx 15 - 25 exclamation points) First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattyblast 0 #10 January 17, 2006 You're right. I should do something about this instead of yapping on here about punctuation. I'd like everyone's suggestions on how I can open the door to a potential meeting for coffee ("or a bunch of caramels...when you think about it, it's as arbitrary as drinking coffee"). What can I say that will get my message of interest across without seeming like I just want to get into her pants?

ladyskydiver 0 #11 January 17, 2006 It's real simple. Here's a sample way of asking her out. Are you ready? Positive? Ok...here you go: "Hi. Would you like to go out for coffee on [insert day for coffee date - i.e. Thursday]?"Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think about it coffee is a stimulant, and has a social circumstance built around it. People tend to be more cheerful when they're on a caffiene buzz, and therefore enjoy company more. How much talking you gonna get done with caramels sticking your teeth together? |>.<| Seriously, W.T.F. mate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juanesky 0 #14 January 17, 2006 And if she decides to go out, make sure you don't open doors for her, make her pay her portion of the bill, (as equal), as women love to be treated as equals. Let her know if you don't like her shoes or the clothes she is wearing. One more thing, if she looks fat you should also let her know this, at once."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #18 January 17, 2006 QuoteCora, Cora, Cora... they're convinced it can't possibly be that easy. You simply must offer something more elaborate. It's amazing the flirtational gymnastics women sometimes have to go through to get the guy to make the "first move." Just ask her out. She's already decided whether or not she'd go out with you. And if you get shot down? Well, you know how to use a parachute, right? When I was single, I never worried about asking out someone. This single talent enabled me to marry way out of my league.

masterrig 1 #19 January 17, 2006 3 - exclamation points don't mean anything. I think, she was just wanting you to get the idea she really is 'appreciative' of your work. You can still, ask her for coffee, though. I just wouldn't put a lot of stock in 3 - exclamation points. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
