That is not verbatium to DYD phrase, nor do I truncate my words in emails, but I use it all of the time.
I have gotten a bunch of interesting responses to this phrase with 80% turing into 'dates'.
I have never had the follow-up phrase work with no response to the above though.
Here is the body of an actual email chain. Start from the bottom.
Someone has quite the ego!

I actually wanted to use the restroom, but the line was too long. And if remember correctly, it was you who did the attacking, but whatever makes you sleep at night

. Rabbits are too cute to boil...

To bad. Though, I will say that I thought that after you followed me to the bathroom and attacked me in public that I would have a stalker on my hands and have to always look over my shoulder.... Might end up with a boiled rabbit in a pot.
Hit me up when you get back and have some time. Maybe we will hang out.

It was nice to meet you too. Unfortunately, I cannot meet you anytime this week. I'm going out of town for a conference later this week and have to prepare. But thanks for the invite:) Hope you have a great week and a better weekend

Shandra
Hey, it was nice meeting you yesterday. What are you up to this week? Would you like to join me for a cup of something wonderful and some stimulating conversation. Talk to me.
VALENCE
She turned out to be one of the more fun HBs that I had. I always try to think of a good subject line.
