So i am playing it cool too.All was fine, then today he sent the following email"my phone just went blank c**t switch it on"I took the c word to be bad and thought what is going on? When I saw him later, I told him I didn't appreciate his message. Turns out that word was meant to be "can't". Now he is mad that I thought badly of him when he did no wrong. I said sorry but it has all gone wrong. What can I do to make it up to him? Reply to this Question

What a charmer! Hes playing it cool with you. Youre playing it cool with him. It sounds like a lot of mind games. This incident could be another game. I wouldnt run after him because he appears upset. I think hes purposely messing with your head x

 Hey,maybe I have a suspicious mind, but I think he is being a smartass.
How can that be a typo ?... The other symbol on the asterisk key is a "p".
"a" and "n" are in a totally different area of the keyboard and even the worst typist in the world - like myself- would not make this kind of mistake, unless he were pissed drunk or just hitting the keys randomly for fun.
I think he wrote what you thought he wrote, maybe to be "funny ", and, seeing that you did not appreciate, he thought the best defense is attack.
Again, I realize I am being too suspicious but, come on,
even typos have sort of a logic, don't they ?

 It actually sounds to me like he is playing mind games with you why would he use this typo other than to get a reaction out of you, i think anyone who read that message would have thought the same as you and i think that he knows that, he needs to get over it he sounds like hes very immature.

 There's an expression about these situations...
If only I could remember it...
Wait
Almost got it.
Oh Yeah!!!
SHIT HAPPENS
LMAO, no harm no foul. If he's too big of a baby not to get butt hurt over your reaction to the C word, then he's got issues.

It was a type. . .if he typed C**T switch it on, who would not take that the wrong way? I would say forget about it you owe him nothing and if he's still mad, tell him he is being a dork and over reacting for his typo! Maybe add in a comment I thought it was kinda out of the norm for you and laugh!

 So the email had a typo, a dirty one at that. I'd probably misinterpret it too..easy mistake. There's nothing you can really do, you've already apologized. It's rather silly of him to get mad over that. I'd just let the situation go. It will eventually blow over.

You really shouldn't have jumped to such a quick conclusion about his message, but, on the other hand, if he's this mad over something so trivial, think about how difficult he'd be to deal with if you two were in a serious relationship.
Maybe it's best that you found this out about him early on.
How can you make it up to him? Don't even try. You've already apologized. If you do anything else now, you'll come off as a push over, and he'll lose respect for you.
Also, I wouldn't wait around for any guy who's cool. A guy had better be warm if he wants to start a fire in my heart. Otherwise, I'd find someone else quickly.
Really, being cool to each other is playing juvenile games and that's not a way to start a relationship.
