The act of starting to type a text message such that the recipient sees dots indicating you're typing, but then stopping to type so that the dots go away.
In MMORPGs and other games, dotting is the act of inflicting a Damage over Time (DoT) spell or ability on another entity. As the name suggests, DoT abilities deal their total potential damage over a period of time rather than as an instant but non-persistent attack.
"She told me she dotted herself last night while thinking of me" or "dude your mother is in the other room totally dotting herself over me right now" or "i've really been loving porn where the bitches dot themselves" or in it's second meaning "i totally dotted this bitch on the weekend"
The act of using a dot (full stop) as an opening line when chatting up an attractive female.
The method is performed on social messaging sites such as Facebook, and is then used as a way of starting a conversation when the 'dotter' sees the 'dottee' in the flesh.
The aim is to reach the magic number of 6 dots, which signifies that a girl will most probably accept your advances.
You find a suitable 'dottee' and begin Dotting...

Dottee - "?"
Dotter - "."
Dottee - ".."
