Text with smiley face!


Question Posted Monday March 13 2017, 8:36 am

Hi,

what does it mean when a boy mate puts a smiley face at the end of the text? I like him and been mates for a few weeks and we get on well. We do kid around however I hardly put smiley emoticons unless if I have to but he always does. What should I be thinking, guys. Everytime I see him at college, I feel like I'm falling for him which is not good because I have a bf and he has a gf therefore I feel really bad. Guys, am I a bad person? Thanks

What makes you think that an emoticon from him means something? And what are you imagining that smiley face means. I am wondering if you have a crush on him and what us to confirm he has a crush on you too. Hon, I don't know this guy. I don't even know you. I am not a psychic so there is no way to know if his putting a smiley face in texts means anything more than a real smile.
Now that brings us to reasons a person might smile and there are so many dear that theres no way to guess.
A child waking up to snow outdoors would smile. A surprise Birthday party for you could make you smile. Getting an A on a difficult test could make you smile. Your parents complimenting you could make you smile, your best friend getting you a special gift could make you smile, etc.

Your last question is whether you are a bad person for falling for him when you have a bf. NO, you are not a bad person. Until we actually are in love with the person who is to be our life long mate, dating and relationships is all about learning what you really like and don't like in a person. If you have a bf, have the feelings for him died. You dont have to answer me, just think of the answers yourself. If you no longer have feelings for bf, then why do you suppose that is? Maybe you both don't really inspire each other and the attraction has faded, or.....? If you are still into your bf and want this guy at the same time and don't want to lose either, or feel torn between choosing one, then it comes down to whether you are monogamous at heart or polyamorous. Not many people today are although in ages past, it used to be fairly common. There are some today who have multiple love relationships and each partner knows of the other. Ever hear of open marriages? Kind of like that but more. You are still young at college ages and so youre better off figuring out what type of guy you'd like to date, what kind of guy is the best marriage partner someday and would make the best Daddy. You may not be serious about any of that yet and you don't have to be ready to stay with one guy for the rest of your life, but whomever you date, if the next step is becoming committed relationship, then you need to decide early on if there are things you don't like about one and stop dating. If a guy does stuff that is hurtful to you and the relationship, thats another reason to leave. If you think both are great, you may need to s tart making a list of the qualities you are looking for in a guy. Yes, even a boyfriend should be able to meet your criteria. You don't wait until you feel ready to marry to start practicing how to spot husband material. So make your list of things that are a Must Have, if not present in him, thats a deal breaker. The one who can meet the most of your criteria is the best candidate. If you decide you need to stop dating anyone, simply tell them that you no longer feel any chemistry together with him. Or if its really early on in relationship, you can say you've given it a try but you don't feel any chemistry with him and guys seem to understand this. At least once I was divorced and dating, older men, seemed to understand this. I wish you the best.
