Recession booty (:)?

I met this guy a few weeks back. He was smokin hot so I decided to give him my fabulous business card.

So this is what happened:

He called me and we chatted for a while. He seemed like an interesting guy, but he asked me a lot about where my significant other, my kids and my dog was (I guess dogs are a part of the baggage these days). Anyway, I told him that I wasn’t a big fan of multiple dating, and that I prefer to just get to know someone under normal circumstances, be friends and then see what happens. I guess it’s a Scandinavian thing. We are just not that into the whole awkward dating scene that is just too confusing. Too many rules.

My chin just dropped into my medium/raw burger. WTF? That was just the most outrages booty call I’ve ever gotten. But what the hell did (:) mean? I asked my friend who had no idea – so we decided to investigate. I googled emoticon – but no reaults for (:).

Then he called. Although I was a bit stunned, I decided to talk to him to find out what (:) really meant?
- Ah, that is just a regular smiley, he said.
- Really – I have never seen a smiley like that, I replied.
- So you wanted to smile with me then?
- Yeah…
I told him that we probably should meet another day.

One hour later he sent me this:

Ok, so now I am thinking that (:) definitely really means something else. And he really didn’t get my “I don’t like dating – we do it differently in Scandinavia” kind of thing. Anyway, I just left it at that thinking maybe it’s the times of recession that makes guys just not beat around the bush anymore – time is money, so they just go straight to the point. In a way that’s a good thing. At least now I know who to call if I feel like a (:)
