I've seen where tilín and tolón are both used to represent the sounds made by bells when they are ringing. You can also add talán to the list of sounds. Could more context be provided from the email?
tilín = ting-a-ling (the tinkling of a bell) From Fray Felipe: din, din, don (din, dan, don) Last edited by Rusty; May 08, 2008 at 06:29 AM. |

The e-mail was about tirón.
`Es una persona atractiva y con tirón.´ The tilín and tolón bit was something I read from an article. Question: ¿ Te irías con la primera persona que te hiciera tilín? Answer: Si el tilín es tolón, si.

Do you go out with the first person who gives you a ring?
Sure, if they ring my bell. |

I think Poli's translation is perfect. Anyway una persona que te hace tilín is quite common, but the rest is a pun with the original expression.
What a funny question, Jane!

I think it's another way of saying attractive.
