What do exclamation points mean in a message?

[helloyes]

when emailing if a girl puts exclamation point in every message, is she trying to be cute, show enthusiasm or is she just dumb?thanks!

Seeing her as dumb because she uses an exclamation point a lot is quite rude. Some people just do that a lot, I have some friends on Facebook who do that after almost every sentence and, yes, it is quite annoying because in my head it's like they're shouting the message. But besides that, meh, it's just punctuation. I'm happy if people just use it.

Depends on what the topic was.

I mean a few here and there, and in the appropriate place, is fine.

But sometimes people do overdo it.

I don't think you can just write her off as dumb because that's kinda rude.

:)

but it seems silly

You should use context clues and your gut to figure out what was behind that.

you should never think too hard about text messsages. They always lead to confusion. why don't you just talk to her in person? Or call her?

[dodgypirate]

it means she's excited about the conversation or a thing you might of just said. If it's conjoined with winks and smiles she's flirting with you, flirt back if you're interested by her.

she wouldn't use ! marks all the time if she wasn't intereste right

[dodgypirate]

It all depends on the kind of girl. If she's the sassy, girlie type then maybe the (!) doesn't mean anything - she probably uses them with every one else. However shy girls wouldn't, unless they were truly interested.

It means that she's having fun or she's saying something important or urgent.

Exclamation marks means nothing , I don't flirt using that . But if I'm trying to make a point I will use the exclamation point .

[helloyes]

even if every message has an exclamation point?

I use ! points all the time when making a point , Now if she says something like . Man you look fine today !, That's a good thing . You already know what that ! meant , But when she's just stating something and uses it . She's just making a point . Basically It's when someone is trying to make a strong point

i asked like what teacher is good and she used name! and I'm free! etc(when I asked if she was busy on the weekend)

[dodgypirate]

Well then like anon said she's using the (!) as to be assertive to her point. It's not in a flirting manner at all.

[NerdyAnon]

It really depends on their personality. It's not a question of dumbness, but I don't see women on the high IQ side doing that kind of thing.

[Anonymous]

It's just to emphasis what she's saying.

[helloyes]

so if she says she's free! then does that mean she wans ts to hang out?

Yeah
