Can someone tell me Korean girls just send texts saying "HI!" and small chatt about the weather? Can someone unwrap this puzzle? Is it just used a simple means to say "HI"? (Which, I would understand based on the amount of texts flying around every second and the fast paced life style.) Or is it an opening for an afternoon coffee?

I just want to know what's expected out of me.

It's pretty simple.

First, we assign a numerical value to each of the letters of the English alphabet, starting with A=1 and ending with Z=26.

Therefore, with "HI," we derive the numerical values of "8,9"

Now, you'd think there'd be a special significance in the pair of numbers being adjacent, but since the next step in the decoding process utilizes the astrological zodiac, the adjacent numbers (once converted to their corresponding astrological signs) don't form any of the major aspects such as trines or squares.

A lot of guys get tripped up on that step and end up reading into things that aren't there.

So now we have the signs of Scorpio and Sagittarius (being the eight and ninth zodiacal signs, respectively), derived from the numerical values associated with the letters "H" and "I" in the code series "HI."

Thus, if your nation of origin is located in the Northern Hemisphere, the corresponding season to the time frame of Late October/Early November to Late November/Early December suggests that she wants you to Fall back, while if your nation of origin is of the Southern Hemisphere, her code series implies that she wants you to Spring forward and make your move.

Hope that clears everything up.

Personally I like Old Gil's response. I'm going to use that next time.

Kgirls expect you to lead the interaction. "hi" means "i'm interested in you please progress our interaction towards dating/sex/marriage". Lead, lead, lead.
