How do you feel when someone you like uses them?
| Ok so where did this concept come from? Ever since I got my first cell phone the only people that cared enough to text me constantly were females so I ended up getting used to spamming :P >_< :/ and ;). A few years later we upgraded to the modern smileys that the iphones made mainstream and people used them 1% less but they still used them a lot. So why do people assume there's meaning behind a female saying: sure :) or a male saying: yeah ;) ? For years I thought people said they took emojis seriously as a joke but recently I've cause a few misunderstandings using them and I'm starting to think people actually take them seriously. Do you MAL people take emojis seriously? (example: person you like uses them when texting you) |

| Uhm, I use them pretty much all the time, the person I am talking to doesn't matter one bit. |
| They exist to convey emotional responses and feelings through text, so they're not useless by any means, unless you're on of those fucktools that spam them all the time like a retarded maniac. People that assume too much from them are probably people that assume too much if their crush gives them a polite smile or another positive gesture in the physical world as well. I know that feelings make you do/think irrational stuff, but c'mon, ffs. |

| Yes, emoji means that they want to copulate with you. |

| |
| Of course not. I only use emoji when I'm trying to sound polite, so I assume people use them for similar reasons. |
 |
| i like your sig op ;) |

| If she makes dank memes for you, bro. Let me tell you that you can be 100% certain that she loves you and wants your dick. |
| I don't. :> Still see them as a joke. Literally everything I send has an emoji in it. I hold myself back here on MAL.. >.> a bit. I'm thinking that the reason is because I feel like it manages to express my mood or meaning to what I say.. e.g) "hey." is different than "hey. :>" or "hey :/" |

| I smell desparation here. |
| Oh god no. If I send a message with a winkyface I'm almost always being sarcastic. 'My, my, my forward aren't we? ;)' Means= Fuck off, who the fuck asks a girl you know from school, but just started taking to a few days back, whether they masturbate or not. |
 |
| I always think someone is a pedophile if s/he uses emojis |

| Emojis are not serious. But they're useful for expressing moods and such. |

| nah, I use xD and :D and that stuff with everyone |

| I don't get it either. I find people looking over my shoulder often when I'm on the internet and emailing/messaging someone. A lot of them get the wrong idea because they don't get the context of the message/email. Quite annoying. I had it happen earlier this week and they thought I got a bae...They won't stop bothering me about it either cause most of my friends are like "AAIGPEIAJGPAOEIJGIOAJEG We thought you were gonna wait." I guess people just don't get it anymore and automatically associate it with hooking up. |

They jump to conclusions really quickly. I use them quite often as well. Most of my friends who are gamers used them as well, so I understand them in a different context than my friends who do not game. :L Plus, the person I was emailing was quite a few years older than me, which made it really awkward when my friends were snooping and started yelling "YOU'VE GOT A BAE". |

| I use them :) I'm not a girl ;) I don't want to fuck you, OP XD |

Yea, I wish my friends calmed down. They're still trying to guess who "bae" is when I don't have one. No slack is given to me when it comes to stuff like this. They want to know so badly... |

| MAL really likes the lenny face emoji lol. |
 |
| No, I don't think they can mean any special feelings. Some people are just accustomed to writing like that. :P Or using ;) all the time when they don't have any flirtatious intentions or using :3 when they're not trying to act cute. |
| No. NO. NOOO. Come on now. Anyone uses emoticons. Let's be real here. |
 |
| I like using emoticons ._. I can't be as kawaii without them. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Ah I don't tend to use any unless I really strongly want to convey that I'm actually feeling a certain emotion at that point. I don't really take them to mean anything other than "oh that person is trying to express they are happy/sad/mad/etc." |
| There is nothing special with emojis or emoticons. They just look better with texts and messages. Unless its a heart emoji, then you got a problem. |
| save all the cute girls from ntr manga |
| Damn you be thirsty |
 |
| Not incredibly seriously. I'd understand a :p as someone sticking their tongue out at me or saying 'meh'. And maybe a winking face as a wink. But a lot of the time I think of a winking face as someone just being lazy. |

| ahh ma gawd !! didnt they tell u ?!! emoji= she wants to have your babies !!! ^_^ congrats u two :D |
 |
| I don't really use them often, so maybe when I do use them they may think of themselves as special? |
| I don't read into them. I know people who use them wrong or too much, so their meaning is unknown to me. |
