This is for those of you that happen to over analyze everything (like me). So luckily, I’ve done the research for you guys and this is what I’ve come up with, say goodbye to the clammy hands and pissed off boyfriends/girlfriends because here are your options:

1. Ignore, accept and shake it off.

Maybe it doesn’t revolve anything at all. Maybe it’s your mom responding to a text you shot her about your evening plans. Maybe he or she on the other side of the phone happen to be at a red light-turned green, and they didn’t have time to pick out an emoji or couldn’t find the exclamation point in time. Usually it's a no biggie.

2. Question it.

Maybe you changed your plans for the weekend and hurt your girl friend’s feelings even though it wasn’t in your intentions. Maybe ask a simple question like ‘Are you okay with that?’ or ‘What are your thoughts on it?' It’s always good to know that you value the other’s opinion and your taking their feelings into consideration.

3. Out 'K'ing your opponent.

You’re aware that you pissed someone off (and I’m mainly speaking to the boys out there when I say this), but that’s only because they probably pissed you off first. You said something that either offended them or said something that got under their skin, which is what you were aiming for. Congrats, just shoot another ‘k’ text back and you’ll be sure to have a bad rest of the day as well if that is what you intended. Unless you’re a guy, please refer back to number 2, it’ll save you a night in the dog house.

4. Don't give a damn.

Realizing it could be all of the above, but it’s just a text and at the end of the day you have better things to ponder on, other than the meaning behind the 11th letter within the alphabet. It's not worth acknowledging so just carry on down your list of important tasks, like over thinking why they didn't double text after you didn't respond!
