here's what the original email said:

"me: you danced w/ [her]
he: yup
me: who asked who?
he: i was about to ask her when she asked me. why
me: i'm not allowed to tell u
he: *glares*
me: okay, she likes u
he: i sort of knew that
me: do u like her?
he: yes. sort of."

when my friend actually told me the conversation, the last line sounded like: "yesSORT OF!"

nice catch.
