Does Smiley faces and emoticons mean flirting?

[Kaylove96]

So sometimes my friend does Smiley faces in her Facebook messages to me, but I want to sometimes I want to too but Im not sure if it's flirting if I do. Would it come a cross as flirting?

[forgottenmonkey]

Depends on the person and the situation I use smiles all the time. I would say watch how she types to others. If this is an exclusive thing it might be flirting or it might just mean she is open with you. Honestly I would say unless its all the time I doubt its flirting. People use emotes to convey all the dopey awkward smiles they would be doing in person for a crush. Just use smiles and if it comes across the way you dont want and she gets mislead correct her.

[Kaylove96]

Really? Hmm. How can I watch/know how she types to others?

[forgottenmonkey]

:) most people who use emojies a lot use them a lot. Comments and statuses on fb are a good clue. :)

[Kaylove96]

Comments and Facebook statuses hmm

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

i think smiley faces could just mean be happy really hard to say

[Kaylove96]

Really hard to say?

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yeah i know

[BumbleDeev]

I use emojis and smiley faces to every single person I text including using winky ones to guys and Im not flirting with them at all. They know whenever I use them I use them as a joke

[Kaylove96]

Would she just know what it is?

[misscoffeehead]

Smiley faces are used to show if your happy. It depends on the context. Some people can do this ";)" <-- and that is considered to be flirty. Just really depends what's being said.

I like cookies ;)

[misscoffeehead]

@Toad-1 ahha toto! Don't start you! Just don't start

[Kaylove96]

I wonder how to know what is what and now I know a winky face by itself is flirting

[misscoffeehead]

Well it depends on what the person is saying. And what's being said

[Kaylove96]

Hmm. I don't even know if either one of us have.

[misscoffeehead]

Could you give me an example of what they said and I can tell you if it's a flirty text or not? You can message me if you like, I don't mind :)

[Kaylove96]

Ok! I can try to do that

[Kaylove96]

I only have a few now including a picture message she sent me. And it's Facebook messaging

[misscoffeehead]

Sorry for the late reply hun.. I replied back to your message

[Kaylove96]

It's ok. Thank you.

[LonerGirlBree3]

Depending on what you're talking about smiley faces are not flirty!

[Kaylove96]

Smiley faces are not but it depends on what we're talking about?

[LonerGirlBree3]

Yeah. It depends on the words you use and the conversation you are having. Emoticons/emojis can be so platonic but the words. Words are a different story. If you catch yourself talking to her the way you would with people you're interested in then chances are you're flirting. There's a difference in the way you talk to someone you have feelings for and someone you don't have feelings for. I don't really know how else to explain it.

[Kaylove96]

How could I know what topics are and arent?

[LonerGirlBree3]

To save me the time from listing them... Google "Flirty Topics" >.<

[Kaylove96]

Haha ok. Thank you for that.

[TedStar]

Nope. I send them to everyone: family and fridends

[Kaylove96]

It's more normal than I thought. My thoughts about it were completely different thinking its weird or something. Like not right or it meant something else

[NourSy]

it makes u more humble

[Kaylove96]

Why or how?

[NourSy]

sometimes what you say has many meanings
u can spot that in real life but its a lot harder in chatting so here smiley faces come to put the right feeling so u don't sound so serious they really break the ice online :p

[Kaylove96]

So she wouldn't really know what it is? Changing doesn't show or give much info?

[Kaylove96]

*chatting

[Anonymous]

I say do it and try flirting with her.

[Kaylove96]

Try and make flirting my intention?

[Opinion Owner]

yep filler filler

[Kaylove96]

Flirt flirt?

[Opinion Owner]

lol it wouldn't let me comment unless i had more characters used.

[Kaylove96]

Haha you were trying to say something else?

[Opinion Owner]

lol just filler

[Kaylove96]

Filler

[epiman94]

Nope. Not flirty :-D

[Kaylove96]

Not flirty? That can be good in cases like this!

[epiman94]

Yeah, I use them in like every message. To guys and girls. :-P

[Kaylove96]

So it wouldn't come across as flirting

[epiman94]

Not really. Used with right words it can be though. The winky face is flirty: ;-) (demonstration. Not actually flirting)

[Kaylove96]

There's certain words that make it flirting and the one face thats flirting is the winky face?
