What does it mean when a guy adds "lol" after a compliment when he texts you?

[Anonymous]

This guy I work with came to drop something off for me while I was at work when he came in I had my hair in a high pony tail and when he left he texted me "you look really cute in a pony tail lol" I'm wondering why he said "lol" at the end? Does that mean he wasn't being serious?

I think he really did think you looked cute with your high pony. (I love high ponies on girls too.) He added the "lol" because he was a little bit embarrassed to be complimenting you like that, probably because he has a crush on you. So the "lol" was like him saying "I think you're really cute, but I don't want to seem too weird or creepy."

No, it means that he was trying to disarm the comment a little in case you react badly, then he can just play it off as a joke. It's a compliment delivered with no confidence.

Probably he was not nervous about saying it and he thought that it would be less awkward to say lol at the end (which didn't work).

Lol has largely replaced the function of a full stop when it comes to texting and millennials. Lol.

it means you looked really good and made him super nervous probably. people laugh when nervous sometimes.

a security measure in case you're one of those girls who don't accept compliments very well-a girl like this: If a guy prefers anal sex when he is with a girl is it likely he is gay? read the conversation I had with Pamina.
