What does it mean when a girl sends smiley emojicons in text messages?

Ok so there's this girl i'm friends with (she's my younger sisters friend, that's how I know her). We don't text each other a lot (probably only once a week, sometimes not even). But when she does text me, she always sends lots of smiley emojions (the smiley picture things on the iphone). Sometimes she will send regular smileys like this: ":)", but it's usually emojis. What is she trying to say with all these emojis? Like last night, we hung out just the two of us for the first time ever for like 2 hours (just to the mall then ice cream) and when I got home, I just texted her saying "had funn tonight thanks for coming", and she replied with stuff like "samee had so much fun, thank you" with emojis after that (once in a while. Faces). Does this mean she's into me? I've always thought she might have but never knew. By the way, I'm 19, she's 16 almost 17
PS: She also puts extra letters and the end of wordsss likeee thiss

Not concerned about it seeing how I like her anyway, just sayin. What do girls mean when they do this?

All answers are appreciated.

Don't put your trust in those smiley texts…

Get away and stay away from here. One bad word or accusation from this smiley face will put your 19 year old but in Jail. The inmates there will find you very attractive and you will be some ones ***** every day. RUN

  • When Android user sends text to a mixed group of iPhone and Android users? A family member who is an Android user sent a text message to a large group of recipients, including me. The group has both Android users and iPhone users. I'm an iPhone user. Does this mean that I will receive everyone else s messages like an iMessage group, or will all messages go directly between the conversation starter and whoever is messaging him, without any of the other group members seeing what the other members said?

  • What does it mean when a girl doesn't thank you for a gift? Basically I got this girl I really like a nice $40 custom Iphone case. I didn't hand it to her directly because she left school before I could, so I left it in her locker. After that, I never heard from her again, so recently I asked her if she like her gift, and all she said back was, "Yeah. Thanks." What does this mean? Have I done something wrong?
