Emoticons :) after negs in email?

[jump]

So when you put a neg into an email, should you or shouldn't you put something after it to express that it was playful?

For an English major, you have terrible spelling.

Does the smiley make your neg too weak, or does it help to keep her from getting insulted? I'm leaning toward the latter, but I'm new to the online game and I wanted to see what experience has shown you on this.

i think its okay to... it would be the equivalent of smiling and/or hugging a person after a neg in person.

I would probably use a wink ;) instead of a smiley. It's more confident and playful at the same time; the smile comes off as very nerdy and AFC.

First of all you should be VERY careful with negs in online game because the girl is one who reads it in her one tonality as she understands it. and if she isn't in palyfull mood your neg will be recieved as insult!

as for smileys, i found that these ;DDDD works better than these ;) i don't fully understan why, maybe it suggest image of you REALLY laughing.

pure chill

You only neg to disqualify yourself as a potential suitor.

If your meeting someone online at a dating site she knows you are a potential suitor - after all thats why your there.

So I wouldn't neg at all.

Instead I would go cocky-funny - tease her about her spelling but do not lower her self esteem by negging.

This makes you alpha, confident and non needy - everything she could possibly want in a b/f ;-)

Hope this helps

yeah, I always liked this one :P
Becarefull when gaming tens, the type who get 400 msgs a day from guys.
They get alot of stalkers, and weirdos hasseling them, so they are more uptight about negs, especially is you avatar sucks
