When a girl says "Aww Thanks"...Is it a bad sign?

Question

From my experience, anytime a girl says or texts the word "Awww" when replying to a compliment it usually is a sign they aren't interested in anything more than friendship. I was just wondering everyone's thoughts on this?

Not really. I say "Awww" when I think something's cute. If I see a cute baby or a puppy in the street I'd say "Awwwwwww!".

Same thing with guys. If a guy said something nice to me, I'd say "Awww" and a smile or "Awww, thank you!".

I've said "awww" to boyfriends before. It really has nothing to do with the relationship of the person. More like having to do with what the person said.

There are a lot of signs to know if she just wants to be friends. However, I don't think this is one of them.

Not necessarily when I say it it usually means I like what they said or that its cute to me it doesn't imply that I see the relationship as just friends or as more than friends its just how I am if your wondering what she's feeling about you the best bet is to ask then you'll know for sure and if your shy see what her friends say

Usually girls who are interested will just respond with something like ":)"

From my experience too, when they say "aww" it's because they aren't interested. They think it's cute that you like them, because you have no chance, or something like that, but they definitely don't respect you.

Again, just my experience

Not at all, dude. When a girl says "aww", it means that you struck an emotional chord with her in a good way. When played right (aka, not passively), that HIGHLY works in your advantage to get her. :)

CottenBrick · Answer

You dont want to be one of the guys who's told her how pretty she is.

Im guessing you want to be the man she adores. To do that though, you need a reason for her to adore you. For me its because Im funny. I've also got a distinctive sense of fashion, but thats not relevant here.

Id still compliment her, but only as a set up to then make her laugh. She will want to hang out with someone who she enjoys the company of.

You might want to make her special, but men are pigs and she probably has 50 other guys also complimenting her hoping to creep into her pants.

You can still make her feel special but do it after she has fallen in love with you.

whyisitso · Answer

I don't think so. I didn't even think that men would take that as a bad sign... I love to say that if I like the person and his cute ways to express himself. Sometimes I just don't know how to answer compliments so that's the only thing I can think of. It has very little to do with my feelings for the guy

txcos20 · Answer

I've never even heard of that! I use it when anybody compliments me. If a girl says "You are looking really good." I respond "Awww thanks" with a big smile on my face. If a guy says "You are beautiful" or "You look really nice" I respond "Awwww thank you" I blush like crazy and smile

MusicMayhem · Answer

In response to a compliment? Sounds more like something a girl would say in response to you telling her something bad that happened to you. Which you shouldn't say anyway cause it'll make you look like a loser who can't pick up his own shit and life and take control of your situation. In short, it isn't attractive.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I think that there are different 'Aww's'. Short and very long 'Aw's' like in:
'Aw' or 'Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwww' look indifferent or mocking, wher mid-length 'Aw's' as in 'Awww' can express pleasure ore positive sentiments.
In itself, the term 'Aw' is extremely adaptable, but neutral.

Saville_Row · Answer

Nope. "Awww" means you touched my nerves somehow. I think you are sweet, cute or you gave me a warm feeling which I highly appreciate. It's the opposite of bad.

thebestest182 · Answer

Nope. I use it all the time when I'm INTERESTED in.  When boy says you are so beautiful. I answer.aww thank you so much.  like this way. Don't worry man.

deric_97 · Answer

It just means you kind and I don't know how to repay you yet, maybe I shall friendzone you so that we can watch movies at night and not have sex later.

just_wondering_01 · Answer

I've definitely said that to both guys I see as just friends and guys I'm into. The use of that word has no reflection on my interest

Aeleen · Answer

Awww has a lot of meanings but in this scenario. Yes, I'd say awww to a guy I like but maybe not interested in like that. If I don't even like a guy, I just ignore the compliment

Logorithim · Answer

Not necessarily. Just means it touched her in some way. No guarantee either way that it is bad or good.

Hidden_P · Answer

I say it because I don’t take compliments well and I don’t think people appreciate me dumping my baggage on them especially when newly met.

boston96 · Answer

It means she's flattered but doesn't want to be that girl who overreacts about stuff. In essence she's protecting herself

thephilosopher · Answer

Not really. Usually when a  girl goes aww it means she feels what you said was sweet/cute/touching

hotcaribbeanbarbie · Answer

nope. you are off, I say aww all the time with my boyfriend. I do it when he says something really sweet and my girlie side comes out

fuegoviva · Answer

I think it has more to do with body language.. for example, If she does not show signs of physical affection then yes, it could be a bad sign... if she comes close to you and hugs or kisses you in appreciation then it's a good sign.

IconAura · Answer

It can depending on the girl, girls can be weird dude and a lot of times girls don't understand themselves. Like one girl did it to let me know I was friend zoned and another did it in the same way and we dated

ellaoh · Answer

It depends how she says it. I’ve definitely used this to friend zone 😬

Prankster13 · Answer

Ya that's a bad sign. Means she thinks it's cute in a cute way. Not an attractive way. Not interested sign. Almost every damn time.

Mexicoman101 · Answer

Kind of. I mean I wouldn't categorically say so but I've gotten that a lot before from women who had no interest & from fewer who were.

CaffeinatedCactus · Answer

I saw aww when I actually appreciate something Haha it means more than just thank you.

pitzi · Answer

Noo not neccercially  I say "aww" when someone's being so sweet or cute to me

Babsie1984 · Answer

I do it when I’m awkward.. I’m generally not great at taking compliments, from anyone!!

Haterbye123 · Answer

Depends on the situation I suppose and the context in which the girl says it

Anonymous · Answer

well usually when I'm complimented, I say awwww to whoever it is really. with a thankyou or same :) don't worry about it that's a very small thing to be worrying over :)

Anonymous · Answer

It’s not a bad sign at all! If I said ”aww thanks” that would be better than only ”thanks”... I use it with people I really like, romantically or as a friend.

Anonymous · Answer

lol no it's not a bad sign. I've said that to guys I was actually interested in who were also interested in me, past boyfriends mostly. Just means I'm flattered and it's like saying thank you.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

For me Awww thanks or thanks with a smiley means I'm kinda interested. A plain thanks means thank u now bugger off.

chandrucharms · Answer

Buddy. No one can interpret the feel of girl from her words. But we have some generic expressions about the girls. In this case, "aww" is just a normal way of acceptance. But it will matter that what you are expecting from her. Love or friendship?

Liam_Hayden · Answer

Umm, yeah...

jhopp · Answer

I do believe that it means she's not interested in anything else friends until someone else comes along that suits her fancy.

stuntbrain · Answer

Yes what a horrible thing, it means they hate you and want you dead.

xXJugheadJonesXx · Answer

I think it definitely depends. I've had that happen in real life and by text. Over text, it was usually a friend zone sign. In real life though, I'd say it depends.

Chloe_27 · Answer

Not necessarily, some girls just don't take compliments very well so a standard aww thanks is a way of saying thank you but kinda shutting it down before they get embarrassed.

Outloud · Answer

Not exactly, but usually they are in a way complimenting what youve said. It's pretty much the same as a thank you. Though there are cases where the girl can be sarcastic.

BarbieBunny · Answer

Aww can have different meanings... I said it when my boyfriend said something sweet or when a guy did something stupid. So you can't really tell.

EnglundUberAlles · Answer

Yes, "Aww Thanks" is girlspeak for "Fuck off ya weirdo."

Jalaco · Answer

Hmm never thought about it, but I would have to say no.

element_of1 · Answer

She may as well add the word "buddy" afterwards... Welcome to the friendzone

Anonymous · Answer

Not true. I have said Aww to a compliment coz it was really cute & I did have a crush on that guy. So keep your logics to yourself.

Anonymous · Answer
