To me it sounds very childish but I read nothing that would tell me she was drunk. If the text - wording - was very different from her other emails that might be a clue. ?? If someone is drunk the spelling is usually way off - because they can't type ??

I understand your concern. I find it - weird, childish, ... yep, turnoff. I think the best thing to do is wait and see. It's possible she was trying to be funny/cute. In all fairness, email is a difficult way to communicate humor or "cute" comments.

See what happens.
Best wishes.

On what?

Don't ask for advice or opinions on a forum if you're not capable of hearing them all out. I'm not going to sugar coat things and I'm certainly not going to tell you what you want to read/hear when it's not how I feel.

Take notes because she understood the question and answered it politely.

I don't need your sugar coat, if I'm off base I appreciate it given to me straight. But at the same time, I call b*llsh*t when I see it. It's all over your posts.

Hey, why don't you get back to me when the girl from Match.com writes you back.

Jesus, has this what the world has come to? Technology has eroded our social skills and zombified us to the point where someone gets on a computer to post a question regarding a budding cyber-relationship issue that was prompted by a computer-generated electronic mail.
I knew the end was near with the onslaught of the cell phone revolution. I see people walking down street and they will PRETEND to be getting a call and reach for their cell as the other person approaches, such is the advanced state of the erosion of their social skills and their dependence on soulless technology.
Wow. All those science fiction writers were correct after all: Big Brother will win! Technology will soon take over; we are all being folded into the system. There IS a Matrix!
Hmm...should I take the red pill or the blue one?

I think she was tired and didn't feel like answering a bunch of questions. Nobody is "on" all the time.

Blue one! Just in case that computer generated electronic mail eventually gets you a real life date.


(Edited to add...I've never seen the Matrix, only Viagra commercials! )
