Why do some guys put extra letters texting?

[calialltheway1993]

I don't know how to explain this but you know when you text and let's use maybe for example, you put maaaybe instead of maybe or reallly or even dooon't. What does it mean? Is the guy excited ot expressing his attitude through those extra letters? I thought girls only did that lol but I guess not. Any suggestions? thx :)

They type it like they'd say it. So a very long a sound in a maybe, often with an elevated pitch. For maybe, it's a playful way to say it. For doooon't, he's really putting on the word, because he really doesn't want you to.

[calialltheway1993]

for his dooon't, I joked about him partying everyday and he said "I dooo'nt, my party days are overrr" wth? lol

In that case it doesn't make any sense.

[calialltheway1993]

yeah that's why I'm asking why guys do it

[Ezmotts]

I never do that, maybe he's trying to sound flirty?

[italykam]

It's just to had extra emphasis I think. I do it sometimes but will do it like "I'm so borrreeedddd!" But it also reminds me of Scott Pilgrim, the movie. He does that a lot and I think that's why I do it.

To express a certain emotion, read it like if you were saying it.
