To ask what three dots might mean in this context?! (lighthearted)

[Margot78]

My incredibly good looking neighbour helped me restart my car today and also gave some kind advice when he heard about my terrible day. He was so sweet and the first time I’ve kind words in a long time. So I know I’m overthinking and projecting by fancying him even more! I texted him a thank you and replied “Any time...
Take care”. What could those three dots after anytime possibly mean? I thought three dots meant words have been left out, so what more might he be hinting at?! Anyone who suggests he just accidentally hit the full stop three times will be ignored 😁

I literally wouldn’t dare. He is ridiculously good looking.

Anytime fullstop seems to abrupt. So probably just went … instead.

Your over thinking it

@Margot78 look at it logically - for anyone to meet a new friend or partner, one of them HAS to make the first move, to start the conversation, to suggest something to do together, wether that be having a coffee together or sharing a trip to the cinema!
So, why don’t you make the first move? He may be just as shy/reticent and really hoping that you make the move and his way of opening the door is those three dots.
Giving him a thank you bottle of wine may lead to a conversation over a glass or it may not, you have nothing to lose if he doesn’t take the next move (as you’ve put the ball in his court) and may gain a good friend or something more.
Will you regret it if in 6 months time you hear he’s got a new partner and you didn’t explore further now?

Any time…
Any place, anywhere?

Leave a bottle of wine on his doorstep with a note, 'really appreciated your help, name xx'

It gives him a reason to message again but without giving off Glen Close vibes. It's polite, it's breezy, but if he wants one - it's a way in. If he doesn't, you haven't lost face. You're just being polite.

If the man has any sense the message back will be - 'thanks for the bottle of wine, do you want to pop over for a glass?'

Don't knock on, otherwise it won't work.

My hairdresser gave me excellent advice in this field. She said 'chaps' as a rule are generally more straightforward and less prone to overthinking things than girls are.

So...

If you would like to take things further, the ball is now in your court. Don't waste your energy with something non specific like 'we could have a coffee sometime'. If you want to see where things might go, ask him for a coffee and take it from there.

Just, don't obsess about the whole thing. It's such a tremendous waste of precious time on this earth.

Good luck

Not obsessing honestly it’s just a little bit of fun.

@Margot78 you are hilarious! What a thread! With your personality I bet he'd love to ... you in the ...

Please go round with the pineapples to say thanks for his help. And tell him there's more where they came from...

Good luck, and all the best!

😂Thank you @BillyMack !

I hope you’re both drunk on the bottle of wine you took round, OP? Don’t disappoint me…

I reckon if you think he's that hot, and you're single, you should give it a go.

Just because someone is good looking doesn't mean they're an arrogant shit, and only date supermodels. 🤣 Esp in their late 40s.

I would make sure you put the idea in his head yourself even if it isn't already there. 🤣

You’re all very kind but really he’s way out of my league and there’s no way I’d dare go round there with anything. Actually genuinely looked at my tin of pineapple rings today and they’re shockingly out of date but happily discovered some baked beans with sausages in which I totally forgot I bought. Thanks for all your replies- I would say take care but you deserve better than that cold casual phrase. You’re all ….ing great even if you did prick my over thinking bubble just a little you have made me
smile at pineapple rings forever. Don’t stop dreaming 😁

Beauty is in the eye of beholder.

When he looks at himself he may not see what you see, as others may not see I home what you so desire. …

And fact you’re married hopefully stopped you?

Where does it say either are married?

Op refers to her DH multiple times on other threads, one of which I was on
