chill chic Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 After this guy, that I've seen for over a year, moved back home (family reasons) we've been keeping in contact through mostly email. In the first email I wrote him, I told him some things that needed to be cleared up, my feelings-but wasn't sappy, & letting him know he can trust me with anything. Basically letting him know that I want to continue what he had. Although he didn't really meet my parents, I invited him to go along with me & my parents to Colorado the beginning of next year. Well I said it would be me & my parents, or just me, but mainly with my parents. Anyway, he replied back, but he put the (......) behind his response. I never really understood what (.....) meant anyway so what does it really mean? Here is his response: Hey, if you ever go out to Colorado, let me know.... I would like to go out there hunting some day. So what did he mean by the (.....)? Also, I replied back to that email and asked him when a good time would be to go hunting in CO. Did I jump the gun, or seem a little pretentious when I said that? Sorry I might be overanalyzing things, but I'm just trying to figure it out because I don't want to push things. I want to be patient because it's hard for him to open up, so I don't want to seem overbearing where he won't.
abitworried Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I honestly don't think he meant anything by that, I write (...) all the time in emails and messenger conversations, it doesn't mean anything. But that's just my opinion.
roxy_1980 Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I agree. Personally, I usually use (...) in IMs to replace a period. You never what to make it seem like your writing an essay when chatting online or in an e-mail. He seems to do the same thing.
Sand&Water Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Reply: That is a subtle hint. The " . . . " in -or at the end of a sentence, usually means that the thought is left open-ended; can develop. In other words, the thought is not quite done -is allowed to fade into other thoughts [with a pinch of day dreaming]. Sand&Water
Fun2BMe Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 It is kind of a slang that connects the sentences and thought instead of dividing them up formally with a period and space or instead of using commas or a semicolon...kind of like how I used it here.
CactX Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 IMO, he didn't mean anything. If you are not absolutly sure about that, try talking with him. Talking always works better than imaginating...Thrust me.
Author chill chic Posted November 5, 2006 Author Posted November 5, 2006 So if I replied back with this: "I will definitely let you know when I go out to Colorado. Just so I know, since you mentioned it, when is a good time for hunting? Let me know k." It's not coming on too strong right?
Fun2BMe Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Sounds perfect, not too strong at all. You can even write it with a (...) "I will definitely let you know when I go out to Colorado...Just so I know, since you mentioned it, when is a good time for hunting? Let me know k."
whichwayisup Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Talking always works better than imaginating...Thrust me. Thrust you? Okay......
iron_m Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I agree. Personally, I usually use (...) in IMs to replace a period. You never what to make it seem like your writing an essay when chatting online or in an e-mail. He seems to do the same thing. the same here...
Fun2BMe Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Thrust you? Okay...... Hey I saw that too but I'm trying to be a good girl:)
