what does it mean when a female co-worker (married, girls, attracted)

[rlrl]

sends a smiling icon along with an e mail? anything or do people do it all the time in the office?

I don`t know..... What did the email say?

[rlrl]

about shop talk nothing of a personal nature

I always use smilies - even to those I would never be attracted to. It is just something I do if the topic is a bit serious and I need to lighten up a bit or if I think that people may take my e-mail too seriously or take offense to it.

I don't think that any emoticon in an e-mail at work should ever have be looked at as someone flirting with you. You need to depend on body language to know whether that is the case.

I never make passes at anyone at work but sometimes i wonder of someone likes me--I'm only human

nothing

I'm a teenager and no girls are into me. But even I know that means nothing.

I guess I overuse them


I use them with everybody.

It means she wants to have sex with you !!!

Whenever my partner sends me a 'shop talk' email, it is always followed by a knowing smiley. And I know what this means

There are exceptions to this rule. For instance, if you and the female are not married and have not had sex before then it will mean nothing at all. People attach smilies to emails all the time and would be horrifed if anyone took it to mean anything other than a smiley
