Emoticons instead of kisses: how we express feelings in correspondence

Sometimes one short message can sound cold, but add an emoticon to it and immediately a completely different mood. But what is interesting is that in correspondence on online dating services, the symbols themselves have already become a separate language. They replace confessions, hints and even flirting.

On ukrainian women dating sites, you can find entire dialogues where there are almost no words, only small pictures, and everything is immediately clear: someone is trying to please, someone is joking, and someone confesses their sympathy. But the question is, does everyone read them the same way? For one person, this is a manifestation of tenderness, for another, superficiality and a lack of real emotions.

We often use these symbols to hide real feelings. After all, writing “I miss you” is more difficult than throwing a picture with a hint. But it is these small details that make communication on ukrainian women dating more lively and create a feeling of closeness, even when people are separated by distance.

And here's the main question... was your last "sign of attention" a simple formality or an online kiss?

    I’m Svetlana, and today I want to dive into a topic that’s been on my mind lately: the many faces of passion. When people think about "passion," they usually jump straight to the fireworks and the intense, "can't-keep-my-hands-off-you" phase. But as someone who has navigated the ups and downs of modern romance, I’ve realized that long-term passion is actually a colorful mosaic. It’s not just one

  • Flirting is the oxygen of a relationship, not child's play

    ID: 2130
    Many couples make the mistake of thinking that flirting is only necessary at the beginning. In fact, it's precisely this that maintains the lively tension between a man and a woman. A subtle glance, a hint, a smile, a phrase with a double meaning - this is the language of attraction. Even couples who met through good online dating sites recall that it all began with a game, not a serious conversat...
