when talking to a girl in acomputer instant messaging, email, or cell phone SMS situation, it can make magic happen? Same applies for exclamation marks! If your out of things to say,slap on an lol or even an LOL. It just makes one seem more open and approachable I suppose.

For example, I had to ask my manager who is a female for a certain day off of work which I knew was gonna be nearly impossible. Being the ladies man that I am,I knew adding a

would quickly put me at an advantage.
Another example, but one many can relate too, is asking a girl to chill by texting there cellys, and you add a

I say 'no' to smiles but 'yes' to exclamation points...

I actually heard a radio show recently that had a woman anchor and had women call in. With the exception of a few the general consensus was that the smiles arekind've fruity.

Yo what was it that said "+*#%*@* LOVE smiley faces" I think it was boondocks

 

[primavera vills]

I throw exclamations in a text, but I never send smilies. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't. In addition, I never write LOL, LMAO, LMFAOor none of that, I just use "haha". Funnier stuff gets more ha's.


My mans said William Nilliam tho hahahahaha I find it odd that I say Silliam William quite often.
