Hi, you.
Score!
Well, maybe that.
Pooooop.
Have you ever noticed that the more clever you try to be in e-mails/conversations/multiple felony trials the less clever you seem?
I didn’t know if I should e-mail you at all. Being able to figure out women is not really a strength of mine. It’s like… driving in Japan. I see all the signs, but I can’t read them. And one wrong turn and I end up in a Hello, Kitty store.
Or something.
I was trying to come up with the perfect excuse to casually e-mail you. I came up with nothin’. Nothin’.
Here’s the thing:
I think you’re great.
That’s it, really.
Everything I’ve seen or heard or learned about you has been amazing.
Your eyes make me want to write a country song… about your lips, for some reason.
I’m so completely intrigued. I want to know more.
While it is entirely possible that there is no interest from your end, I figured that everyone likes to be told that they are great. You know?
I hope.
And now I will hit “send,” confident in the fact that, as soon as I do, I’ll think of the perfect excuse to casually e-mail you.
Adorably yours–
I mean, ADORINGLY yours.
Naw… I totally meant “Adorably yours.”
(Apparently I am pretty confident in the cuteness of my very real insecurities.)

This IS adorable.
Much, much better than an email *I* actually received once, wherein the admirer offered to father my children, and referred to himself as a “romance novelist.” Which meant he had a blog all about S&M-y/deprivation sexual encounters.
I’ve said many times that the only difference between romance and deprivation sex is the fur on the handcuffs.
who WOULDN’T swoon at this e-mail? :)
Crazy people, that’s who!
I’m with M&tC. A girl would be crazy to not swoon at that correspondence.
Adorably Yours,

i just vomited a rainbow.
no, but seriously, cute!
Stop eating rainbows, weirdo.
…. I tell people I think they are cute all the time… They look at me like I’m creepy
When I call someone “cute” I mean it as a big compliment.
be still my heart.
I opted out of grade 12 biology to take physics, but I think that could lead to health problems.
You’re adorable indeed, Peter DeWolf.
And you are very observant.
But did she reply?
And did you think of the good excuse to casually email?
So many questions…
Aw I think that’s cute. And will work better than some cheesy obvious hit on emails :)
Better than “I like your bum, where you from?”
Multiple felony trials… FUNNY.
Not when YOU are on trial. Rude.
Aww. What is it about those witty e-mails? They’re fantastic.
The way to a woman’s heart is through half-assed rambling mails. Who knew?
Wait a second…
You wait a second.
I would forgo my Scrabble genius to receive an email like this.
Sigh.
Who am I kidding? My Scrabble genius has already left. I’m down my 100 points and there’s no relief in sight.
I hate today.
I wish you’d wake up and finish the gaaaaaame!!
This is dreamy. That is all.
I can’t decide whether this email would make me swoon or make me tilt my head to the side and look at you all squinty-eyed like a mysterious spot on the carpet…and then swoon, of course.
Actually it’s not really an email exchange until she’s replied. At the moment it’s just fan mail or evidence to be used against you when she wants to gain a restraining order … (=
hit send
Hmmm. Yes, I said hmmm.
cute little insecurities ARE adorable. and i know exactly what you mean… the perfect words tend to find me immediately AFTER I instead have said something stupid.
