What does ;) mean to you?

[ECB]

Is it the actual yellow emoticon head or the two keyboard keys - ; ) Not that it RELALY matters, but I use a winking smiley face all the time and it's just meant to basically show that what I'm saying is lighthearted.

The yellow head looks a litle more WINKY, but still... I think he's over thinking it. I really can't see someone using that emoticon to proposition a guy.

In that context, I'd say it's flirty.

I use it a lot to indicate that I'm joking or being silly...though come to think of it, I use a plain smiley face more often these days.

Without more context, I'd say that particular text with a wink is suggestive. But if they were talking about something beforehand and joking around, it may not be. So... who knows! lol.

It's playful, joking around ... she's bantering with him. She likes him. Does she want to sleep with him? Impossible to know without further context. But she clearly feels a certain level of comfort with him.

I would wager *probably* flirting, even innocently. There are some people who flirt with everyone though.

This is totally true for me. I don't even realize I'm doing it! A few weeks ago I met a good friend of a friend of mine and we all hung out as a group all weekend (including my DH). The guy we met lives in the area we are moving to, so we talked about that a lot. I asked for his number so we could stay in touch. I texted him a few days later and this was the exchange:

Me: Hey it was super cool meeting you! We should definitely meet up in LA sometime! 
Him: Do you mean meet up as in hook up? Or hang out? 
Me: Um, I meant hang out. You know, all of us. 
Him: Oh, ok, cool. Just checking  

Um.....he spent the weekend with me AND my DH.   I told my friend about it and she was like "well you were really friendly!"

I'm joking/kidding.

With no other context, it just sounds friendly.

But this guy is a babe magnet or something, so maybe there's more to it?
