My crush uses this smiley emoji 🙂 and I usually respond back with this : ) text smiley. Would he be offended by that lol?

Also what’s the difference between 😊 and 🙂 . The latter is the one my crush uses I don't know why.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

I use the text version more often than the emoji version, my partner uses the emoji more often.

It's never been a problem. I doubt he'd mind.

Also what’s the difference between  and 🙂 . The latter is the one my crush uses I don't know why.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Probably no difference. I mean, ask your crush. But frankly I think you're overthinking it

[Asker]

Hmm do u think he was kinda flirting when he sent me 3 times smiley face during our chat? by the way we barely know each other

[Smoke-n-Growls]

I don't know and it's useless to try to read into it.

Just talk to him and ask.

[Anonymous]

I don't think he would, they both mean the same thing regardless.

could just be the one he favours over the other :)

[andy530]

I think the 😊 indicates slight feeling of self consciousness or vulnerability

[Asker]

What about the other one that my crush uses?

[andy530]

Just a general happy or smile. I don't know that’s how I use them anyway

[Asker]

Anyway since he’s using that indicates that he’s happy to talk to me?

[Asker]

Using it*

[andy530]

Yeah I would think so

[Asker]

Hmm do u think he was kinda flirting when he sent me 3 times smiley face during our chat? by the way we barely know each other

[andy530]

Yeah I would think that is him flirting

[MrCommodore]

He might be similar to me, and just not be well versed with emoji.

[Asker]

So u think it has no difference to him which one he uses?

[MrCommodore]

Yeah, because I usually don't understand the subtle differences between them the different smiley faces. But the fact he is trying to use them is a great sign.

[Asker]

Lol so u think he’s flirting?

[Asker]

by the way he’s a guy in his late 20s

[MrCommodore]

Haha, your probably right, a guy in his late 20's should be more in-tune with using specific emoji, than a guy in his late 30's.

I still think he might be flirting with you, obviously it depends on the details, but a good chance he is.

[cloudsurfer87]

Make one hintin towards a bj see if he gets it

I’ve described down below my interactions with my crush. Do you think he could be one of those shy guys or he’s just not interested?

I’ve replied few times to his instagram stories but he hasn’t done the same back to me lately altough he watches eagerly my stories. Our conversations have been very friendly and he has replied back to me promptly ( his replies are decent, he uses a lot of emojis and he heart react my messages when we talk in the dms). One time he even wrote me long paragraphs and also he one time sent me a short disappearing video. He has wished me goodnight when I told him that I’m going to bed. He’s complimented my hobby. He’s responsive when I contact him but he doesn’t contact me first. Now we haven’t talke for a month since Iast time replied to his story.
I don't know what to do. I have started to ignore his story updates now and I won’t contact him again
