AIBU to think this sounds like he is trying to hard to be cool?

Heya how you doing?What you been up to? I think we need to hook up soon, about time i saw you again what you reckon?

and also who says hook up???

It's up there with people who stick their thumbs up and arms out, as a way of saying hello. Do you think it is down to nerves, or someone who thinks it is cool to take affected Americanisms for their own. I wouldn't hook up with anyone who said that!

i doubt it is down to nerves. then again i have been known to use dude when trying to play it cool with him so i don't really have any room to talk. maybe he though cos i found dude acceptable i would find hook up acceptable!! but then i got dude from someone who does just actually say it so maybe he just does say hook up ...

i'm still going for the he's trying to sound like he doesn't care either way when really he does as opposed to the it just sounds like he wants a shag.
