Don't read more into it. It sounds like it was just her way of expressing her appreciation. Now perhaps you might ask yourself whether you were helping her out in the hopes of something more and then hopefully reading MORE into her gesture than it really is. Don't make a move, just wait to see what happens.

Showing her appreciaton to me or possibly showing interest?
I suppose in "the world according to Solomon", she's showing interest. Why, oh why, can you not ever take anything at face value? The card says, "thank you for your help." That's what it means! There is not a sinister meaning behind every word, eye-blink, hand-gesture (no, not finger gesture), nod, and word. Somethings are just what they seem.

I hope there is someone around to teach them grammar/spelling.

This girl doesn't want you, she just has manners.

Maybe she left the card because she DOESN'T want to talk to you face to face....now there's an idea...
Yeah, she's afraid he'll make it into something it isn't. So distance is best. She might have been warned!

More advice to fall on deaf ears -- he NEVER pays attention to any one.

Right, don't make a move. But don't wait for more to happen. It is what is - Thank you. Now back the hell off!

Well I haven't read the rest of the thread, but in case someone hasn't pointed it out yet the word "Sweet" is a code in the S&M world. Or so I've been told.

I checked with someone that would know and the words "appreciate, extending, support, encouragement and forgotten" are codes as well.

The real message she is sending you is this:

"Turn up to my house wearing a bib and ladies white stockings with a $10 bill between your teeth. Bring zip ties, a can of Crisco and a riding cane. 8:30 PM tonight, be there"

That's what it means. I'd get busy and certainly sounds more fun that watching TV.

Dear City Data:

The lady working the till at Starbucks this morning said hi to me. Does she want to have my babies??????


Sincerely, and with a heavy dose of sarcasm,


Ruiner.

Why is it that whenever a woman does something nice for someone else, and that someone else happens to be male, that male thinks she wants him?

Seriously. Because I'm beginning to wonder if that's how some men think: They only do something nice for someone else when they want to get into that person's pants, so they think everyone is like that.

A lot do, I hear it all the time. And you can thank this ridiculous personality trait for being the foundation behind a lot of male jealousy.
