Can you decipher this code?

JIMMYB Points: 6322 Join Date: Feb 7, 2007 Status: offline	Can you decipher this code? A Chinese guy confessed his love toward a girl whom he loved. The girl said didn't say much to him. Instead, she gave him a code and asked him to decipher it. She told him that she would agree to date him if he could decipher the code. This boy did what he could do to decipher the coade. However, he failed. Without other means, he made a post on the internet to ask help for other netizens. Finally, somebody helped him decipher the code. The following is the code. Anyone who'd like to challenge this? Hint: It is written in Morse Code and the answer is an English sentence. Code: ***-/---- /----/*-/*-/----/---*/----/***-/----/-**/--/**-/---- /----/---/-*/---/---/--/--/**-/

If she had feelings for him, just tell him that she loves him. If not, refuse him directly. No game. please. If I were that boy, I would already have been crazy.

GRIZ326 Points: 4008 Join Date: Jun 12, 2006 Status: Offline	Jimmy, Gaffer nailed it. Perhaps the asterisks and dashes should be reversed? ----./-.... /....-/----./----./-..../...--/-..../----./-..../.----/---../----./-.... /....-/--.../.----/--.../--.../---../..---/----./ ...but I believe that comes out to 9 6 4 9 9 6 3 6 9 6 1 8 9 6 4 7 1 7 7 8 2 9

However, he didn't finish it.

Gaffer, as I said before, you are really clever . The numbers do relate to letters in the alphabet. Maybe, you can try your cellphone and computer keyboards.

SHESGOTTOBE Points: 3530 Join Date: Nov 23, 2007 Status: Offline	She already likes him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even bother giving him something to decipher. She would not risk on the possibility that he would decipher the code and she has to end up dating someone she didn’t like. She is playing games. She should have just told him she likes him as well, but then she would come off as easy to get so she wanted to give the boy a hard time.

I doubt if it was the girl who deciphered this herself. I checked that post and it seemed that some netizens had the same doubt like me.
