My coworker sends me a lot of smiley faces over messages. Is this a sign he likes me?

I don't think you can consider smileys an hint he likes you. Except if you get only love or explicit smileys

One of my other coworkers said “he likes you and thinks you’re cool.” Also he added me on social media and messaged me once late on a Friday. All his messages have smileys in them. He also mentioned about meeting up for coffee and working one day. We work remotely.

[laraWM]

Oh yes knowing that, I think he likes you

[Asker]

I’m pretty stupid when it comes to interpreting men LOL

[laraWM]

Not always easy when you're involved

[Asker]

That’s so true. That’s why I ask about it too 😝

If you are looking at stuff like smiley emojis for affirmation, you may want to keep looking.

Okay... so move it forward then. Why are you stalling?

[Asker]

Cuz we work together lmao. Isn’t that a bad idea?
Today I messaged him about something and he goes “let’s talk about it over WhatsApp 🙂”

[spartan55]

If you think it's a bad idea then why are you even talking about it?

[Asker]

True. I mean, I just don’t know if he likes me back though.

[spartan55]

You have to hang out, TALK to him, etc. Not counting emojis.

[Asker]

He started suddenly acting like this recently though. After I gave one presentation at work and made everyone laugh.

[spartan55]

Okay... and?

[Asker]

I don't know just started messaging me more as i mentioned earlier. I don't know could just be being friendly, maybe overthinking it.

[spartan55]

Definitely. You are on your to overthinking paralysis, and inevitably will end up not taking a chance. What's the worst that could happen?
