What does three dots mean at the end of a sentense in text messaging? I text a women I know to see if she would like to me me for lunch but she couldn't make it because she was doing something else. She sent a text back saying that it would of been nice but she can't make it. Another time. . . what does this mean?the 3 dots in 1 year ago Report Abuse by H S Member since: 21 January 2009 Total points: 21,494 (Level 6) Add Contact Block Best Answer - Chosen by Voters it's called an ellipsis, and it is common in many forms of writing, not just texting. An ellipsis stands in place of something left out, something unstated.

Why the thing is unstated may be because it's obvious and you can complete the thought itself, or it may be because the thought is vague and the person doesn't want to complete it or make it specific. In this case, she is sayin, another time .... maybe. Or maybe not. I would infer that she doesn't actually want to have lunch with you at all, but prefers not to state it directly. 1 year ago Report Abuse
