Does it mean anything when a guy sends you a smiley face?

It's hard to say for sure, but in general a smiley face can mean different things depending on the context. A few things it could indicate:

- Friendliness - He's just being pleasant and keeping the interaction light and upbeat. Guys will sometimes throw emojis in texts when chatting with friends.

- Flirtation - If he's into you, a smiley could be his subtle way of putting a flirty tone into his text without outright saying it. Like a little secret smile between you two.

- Laughing at a joke - If you said something funny in your previous text, the smiley could just mean he thought it was amusing.

- Feeling shy - Maybe he likes you but is nervous, so the emoji helps soften anything he's saying in case it's misinterpreted.

The fact he's older makes me think there's more of a chance he's casually flirting versus just being friendly. But you'd have to get a sense of how he usually texts to know for sure.

I'd say keep chatting and pay attention to how much he engages with you. See if he finds excuses to text more. A smiley on its own isn't much, but could be a little opening!

You are WAY too old to be worried about stupid shit like this.

He clearly wants to eat your ass...



Or most likely is just being friendly.
