A French man I've been dating said this to me last night when I asked him If he wanted to get together this weekend :
"oui oui oulala!!"...I know oui oui means yes, yes, but what exactly does oulala mean to the French?

I'm French and OULALA only emphasizes the fact that he really wants to see you again. it is just a kind of expression like waouh. it is very positive. in this case.
but it can be negative too. in a sad situation, saying "oulala, look at this car accident, it is awful!".
but be sure in your case, it is very very good

ouh lala, does not have a literal English translation.
it would'nt be translated into none of the modern and streetwise expressions but more into an old fashioned "wow" or "my, my!".

Ooh La La is an idiomatic phrase to express something that is just perfect and delectible.
Comperable phrases would be "Happening!" "Phat!" and "Totally!", but these fail to capture the full essense of it

I don´t know french, but I´m sure it doesn´t mean yes...
Oulalala... could mean something like: Wow, wow!
Like a surprise, or something...

Roughly interpreted, "O là là" means "ra-THER! I should say so!" in this context.
It can, however, be used express consternation. "Oh dear me!" I think we can rule that one out here!

In French it is written 'Ouh là là!' and, as Fatima says, it means 'Wow!'
Be careful!
