Is putting :) at the end of a text flirtatious?

1. A wink face is flirty. A smile is more just being nice

2. No, a smile just softens whatever was said.

3. Depends on how much they spam it

4. Sometimes

5. Being friendly I think

6. 🙂 is flirty and 😉 goes further.

7. Have an emoji war and find out.
   Tell them to text their top ten most used emojis and see how the conversation goes

   You can text whichever ones you want to direct the conversation

8. Id actually think you’re trying to kill me by ending it with “:)” lololol

9. Nope 🙂
   Just fun and friendly 🙂

10. It’s just the equivalent of a “smiley face” to me.

    Oftentimes it is related to what was previously written as if to say it’s nothing to take “seriously”.

    It’s kind of difficult to express one’s intended tone or inflection via text or email.

    A 🙂 may seem more genuine than writing LOL.

11. 🌚

12. I do this all the time.

    “See you tonight (:” lol

13. I think it dependes on the context… it could very much be used to reduce the anxiety in a topic that might have some inherent friction…

    “Dinner was fun, the split is $50, you can Venmo it :)”. it’s hard to ask for money..

14. Indicates ending messages on a high note imo. They wanna know you made them smile.

15. depends on context but sometimes i use it to flirt

16. The answer is the same as the answer to many questions.

    It depends.

17. I personally don’t think so I use it all the time so my texts don’t sound as monotone or come off as rude.

18. My guys friends all say it is. I don’t agree though lol

19. Hardly flirtatious. It just shows you’re trying to be friendly.

20. No.

21. Depends on the person. My Finnish boyfriend who doesn’t emote whatsoever will sometimes send me a “:-)” and that’s how I know he loves me. But I’m a super emotive person and I send “:)” to like everyone I know

22. No, I’m just being friendly. Winks and kissy emojis sure but not a simple 🙂 Can we not smile without sending the wrong message these days?

23. I tend to use 😜😘🤩

24. Hey 🙂

25. Context matters. It usually isn’t but can be.

26. It can be but 😉 is definitely more flirty

27. It depends. Sometimes a smile can be condescending.

28. No I do this always because I hate the 🙂 look how stupid it looks

29. It really could go either way. Would need more context.

30. No, I do that for literally everyone. To be nice

31. No 🙂

32. ok so i think it depends on your age group. bc i grew up before emojis and at that time, yes it was. but now, i don’t think so?

33. A 🙂 can be flirty depending on context.

34. If that is flirting….boy I been flirting with everyone from my bf, to cousins, to coworkers, etc.

35. It’s literally just a smiley face bro

36. No 😉

37. 🙂 is 100% flirting. if you use an actual emoji it is just friendly, but if you choose to use “old keyboard smiles” then you are flirting.

38. What does it mean for me if my crush says “Goodnightt :)” ?

39. When your mom smiles at you is it flirtatious?
