Appropriateness, schmappropriateness- go up there, see if you wanna hit it, and if so then go for it. Her note clearly indicates she wants it. What’s the big deal?
Okay, okay, I realize that not everyone has the capacity or the urge to be all smooth like that… so, here’s what you could do. Go up there (she wants you to, trust me- if I give a guy the exact hours I’m available, it means I want him to contact me), and when she answers the door, ask her to come to your apartment to (pick one) listen for the strange noise/hang out/see your “etchings” (include finger quotes). Report back.
Huh? I’m sorry to continue to be the wet blanket, but her note does not “clearly indicate that she wants it”. See post 63 for an actual transcription of the note. She may be interested in the OP, and want to continue communication - but she hasn’t expressed a desire for any junk (yet).
I humbly submit that her giving him the exact hours that she’s available, along with the smiley face, combined with the forthright openness and niceness, clearly indicates her desire for his carnal companionship.
I don’t know, I’m with Alice. Girl wouldn’t give her #, and exact hours of availabilitiy if she wasn’t hoping for something more to happen. Gotta read between the lines.
Yeah, this is one of those “signs” we’ve been discussing lately that some guys just don’t get when it’s going on.
Call (or visit) her already; I don’t like being kept in suspense.
If she’s in shool, she’s probably not in her 50’s. It’s possible but the chances are against it.
Oh yeah, she’s definitely interested. It’s just all gonna end in tears, is what I’m saying.
Doesn’t it always, at least at some point? 
I say it’s better to have hit it and lost, than never to have hit it at all.
But she has a braying laugh like a donkey crossed with a hyena! You can just *tell *from her note.
Don’t go there, OP, seriously.
Totally. If I ever had a note like that slipped under my door, and I just wanted to let the dude know it wasn’t me, I would have kept it short and to the point:
“I’m sorry you’re having this trouble, but I’m always sound asleep at those hours, and don’t do anything that would make that kind of noise at any time. Good luck.”
No, she’s been wooed by his mad writing skillz and wants to get with him.
Well, I think if I was constantly being bombarded with incredibly loud annoying sounds in my apartment building and someone offered to help me find the source, I’d respond back. And if I regularly went to bed at 9pm, I’d make a note of that in my response as well in the hopes that I wasn’t awakened from bed.
Homely girls need love, too!
When I was the OP’s age, I was kinda shy. Still, in a situation like this we woulda already had some fun, broken up, and moved on by now. Just sayin.
Well, there’s only one way to find out for sure, isn’t there?
OP?
Absolutely. Now - should he just call (“Hey, it’s 1502! Thanks for the note - let me know when you hear it, and I’ll do the same.”), or should he wait until the noise starts and call with, “Hey - it’s 1502! Do you hear it right now?”
Was your usage of the word “discrete” correct? :dubious:
Discrete:
1 Constituting a separate thing. See Synonyms at distinct.
2 Consisting of unconnected distinct parts.
3 Mathematics Defined for a finite or countable set of values; not continuous.
Discreet:
1 Marked by, exercising, or showing prudence and wise self-restraint in speech and behavior; circumspect.
2 Free from ostentation or pretension; modest.

I agree that the lady in question does, indeed, want his junk. She put her phone number in there two times and a smiley face, for heaven’s sake! I also suspect she’s from Iowa, but Iowa girls need lovin’ too.
Text away, my weird friend.
This is the scenario I have concocted: OP goes upstairs, on a weekend night, say tonight or tomorrow night, tells the girl that the sound is going on right now, and invite her to come down. They get down there- there’s soft lighting, music, two glasses of wine… boom chicka bow wow, chicka bow wow…
