I'm instant messaging with this guy I know and he wants to go out. I finally say yes after forever and then he writes...

then lets do it
pick me up at my moms house and lets go out

Um... you invited me. I responded with

eeeeeee


So is that okay? lol

I'm...not really sure what you're asking for. Is it okay? I mean, I wouldn't date someone who asked me out over IM, but I also don't use IM anymore. I'm assuming you know him in person, so barring any non-negotiable craziness, go for it. Have fun!

What does "eeeeee" mean?

I also have no idea what you are asking, but yes?

OH, I just reread it and I think she's asking about her response to him. In that case, OP, we still can't really tell you whether that's okay, hah. Whether it's okay doesn't really matter; you already said it. ::shrug::

Is "eeeeeee" some type of internet slang? What was his response what you typed that to him? Also, how old are you and how old is he? It is old fashioned to expect the guy to always drive, but did he say that he didn't have a car or his license or some reason for you to do the driving? It's a bit tactless to ask someone out and then demand they come get you. But like I said, always expecting the guy to drive isn't really the norm anymore. Did he have any suggestions of where to go or what to do? Does this answer your question at all? I just asked you a lot more question because you were very unclear on what kind of advice you were looking for.

I know in anime culture, if a girl says "Eeeee!" it usually means she is excited/happy. Not sure what the context was in your conversation, though. lol

Could you clarify what you mean by "eeeeee" and "is that ok?'

I am not sure what you are asking about. I don't think I would date someone who asked me out in this manner or who wanted me to pick them up after they asked me out...but maybe I am old fashioned. I suppose your response to him is just as good as his response to you.

I'm too late to edit my comment, but yeah, "eeeee" is an expression of excitement.

More like eeeeeeyeahno. I've known him for years. He is my ex and trying to get on my good graces.

I mainly just want to know if he is a moron ha! I want to go out with you but by the way you have to pick me up.

I think you sent the wrong message then.

All it really needed was two letters, N and O

Join them together and you get NO, not eeeeeee, I know which one I would understand better.

Okay, I know your username from around the boards and just checked to confirm that you are not in middle school: you are, in fact, a teacher (and finishing your BFA?) You are old enough to communicate properly.

First, if you're not interested in going on a date, why did you "Finally say yes". That's your first problem: if you're not interested, don't say yes to a date (with your ex). The second problem is that especially over the internet "eeeeeee" does not actually communicate anything. A more appropriate response may have been "You know, I know I said yes last week, but I have thought about it some more and really don't think that we should try to be together again. I'm sorry, but I've changed my mind."

I mean, the biggest thing here is that you weren't communicating anything: even on this post! From your original post I thought this was a new guy in your life, whom you were also interested in, who has asked you out and after playing coy you say yes, and then when he says "lets do it" you get excited and let out a squeal of excitement. That is clearly NOT what is going on... (thank you for returning to the thread and clearing it up--it makes more sense now). By the same token, if that's the entire conversation you had with your ex, he might not know what's going on either: he could have assumed the same thing we assumed...that you were excited.

An appropriate response would have been clearly stating your position. A single vowel is vague and didn't do much in the way of letting him know what you thought.

Oh, I suppose that clears things up a bit, OP, but if he made you regret your choice to go out with him you should try to let him know that and perhaps not be quite so vague.


RRRR .

You either want to go out with him or you don't. He's your ex and wants to get your good graces...so does that mean you are willing to date him again? If not, why string him along and waste your time. If you do really want to see him than does it really matter who picks up who? He asked you out over IM, it's not going to be a romantic flower and candle evening, I'm sure.

I agree. Who cares who picks up who, I don't see that as a major deal. You were asking us to tell you if he was a moron based on that one thing. Considering you've known him for years, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to answer that much better than getting us to judge him based on the fact that he asked you to pick him up.

It is how I talk in real life. I am on the strange side I suppose. He understood me. I didn't go pick him up that would have been stupid of me. I just don't think he should have made such a huge deal about wanting to see me and going somewhere when he knew he needed a ride. This is someone who has taken advantage of me many times and I told him no thanks. "A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me." Oh well problem resolved! Thanks for your replies! I'm sorry I act like a child.
