What is it about smiley faces in messages?Page 1 of 1    
This is probably the dumbest question that's been asked but for a long time I've been wondering if it means anything when a girl ends a message with :). The only time I ever notice it is when I ask a girl to hang out and/or on a date.

I can's speak for every girl but when texting or emailing a smiley face :) it is just a way to portray emotion, which is almost impossible to do through those methods of communication, but I think it helps so people don’t misconstrue how you are trying to come across. Hope this helps :)

Haha.... Always I put :) when I'm smiling and :( when I'm sad. If the girl put :) in their messages, it is because they are happy with your question. Do you know what I mean? ;)

I tend to use that in my messages sometimes to show that I'm being positive and/or sincere. Especially since it's hard to convey tone in writing.

It's not a dumb question :)
I do it all the time...it's a way of expressing emotion due to the electronic era we live in. Women are emotional creatures by our nature so we're trying to let you know we're happy, friendly, laughing, etc.

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands... or end your messages in :)

It's in lieu of the friendly smile you'd get, had you met in person... since you can't see that across a monitor. :D

"Smiley faces are like the condoms of the text messaging world. I can say whatever I want without risk as long as I end it with a smiley face that clearly informs you I'm joking.

You whore. :)

See?"

I stole that from a sitcom, but it's true. It's called attaching human emotions to robotic writing, lol.

Maybe it's a sign that she has a problem with her colon.

I use it the same way as the other women have posted. To portray happy emotion. I'm a fairly cheerful person, so I smile a lot, therefore my messages contain lots of smile emoticons. I also use winks when I'm attempting to flirt. I think it's just one of those things women do that men don't. Definitely a good sign though.

I have inserted one or two smileys in there - particularly if somebody exerted the effort of including outrageous humor in their e-mails.

Smileys are handy for adding a sense of tone to a comment, so the comment is received in the spirit it was intended.

They're also fun and help to liven up an informal message!!! :-D

Plus, let's face it, people who hate smileys have no soul. ;-)
