Although text messages are rather short, there’s usually much more meaning behind that “lol” or “jk.” Here’s a text message interpreter to get rid of some of the confusion.
A) The post-joke “lol”
Girls: Hey, you’re kind of funny. I like what you saidthere.
Boys: Well…you tried.
B) The post-joke “hahaha”
Girls: That was hilarious and I want to kiss you.
Boys: You’re funny, let’s date.
C) The Smiley Face 🙂
Girls: You make me happy. I hope you send a smiley face right back at me. If you don’t I’m going to feel pretty stupid because I put myself out there with this smiley face.
Boys: I really, really like you. I don’t give smiley faces to just anyone. I hope you don’t think I’m a wimp because I sent you a smiley face, though.
D) The Sideways Bummed out Face :/
Girls: You really upset me, but I’m trying to be cool about it. I’ll send you this to mean I’m just a little bummed, but in reality I want to send a big fat sadface.
Boys: I’m a little bummed.
E) The Sadface 🙁
Girls: I don’t even care about holding back at this point. I’m sad and I want you to know it and you better do something about it.
Boys: I’m pretty pissed.
F) The Heyy with two y’s
Girls: I want to be a little flirty but not too much. I’m excited that you texted me.
Boys: It’s on.
G) The “Ha”
Girls: I want to punch you in the nuts. I’m playing it super cool with just a sarcastically bitchy Ha, but you better KNOW I’m not happy.
Boys: That was funny.
H) The “K”
Girls: Batten down the hatches. All hell is about to break loose.
Boys: OK
