When you’re not old enough to drive, an offer for a ride in a Chevy Cobalt could come in handy. This could all be a misunderstanding. Cobalt saw Marlyn jogging, and deduced that Marlyn doesn’t have his/her own wheels to get from home to his/her preferred hangout. Cobalt actually works for Uber, and wants to provide Marlyn with alternative transportation. The tentative sexting that followed was actually meant as polite chit-chat. ---

Since you’ve been texting to each other, he must not be _that_ shallow if he’s been tolerating your apparent punctuation spacing disability. On the other hand, he’s overlooking it, because he want’s to get freaky. Like no-space-after-period-sex freaky. Hmmm, maybe you two are made for each other… ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Which brings me back to my original question; What exactly is it about this particular incident that you find so odd and confusing. At 25, this cannot be the first time in your life that a guy has passed you his phone number. And seriously, how are you unclear on the intentions of the guy after your text exchange? Or more accurately, why do you think random strangers on a message board will have a more accurate idea than you do? By the time you are 25, most people have enough experience in dating to know 1) if he asks about sex in the first conversation, he probably wants sex, and 2) no one really knows for sure what he wants or what it might turn into, but you’re in a much better position to guess than the rest of us. So why are you asking us what he wants? I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just honestly a little baffled by your question. Your original question if it was weird for him to give you his number is a reasonable thing to get opinions about. Your later questions about his intentions seem either extremely naive or have some other purpose. ---

Why are you flaming this girl for entertaining us by posting on a message board, which is the point of this message board?! 99.9% of the posts I read and post on the internet are mere conjecture for the purposes of conversation. Maybe her purpose in posting isn’t so much about trying to figure it out, but to have a fun and interesting conversation about it. Lighten up!
